quickly quickly quickly but more later
I'll need to make this quick because I'm up to my eyeballs in another WWII index and I lost a day because I stayed home from work yesterday with a sick Boy-Child. Yes, he is old enough to stay home by himself (he's 12 and a half), but since he was throwing up, I couldn't bear the thought of him not making it to the bathroom and having to clean it ( Read more... ) -
halloween prep!
The kids have their costumes all ready. The Girl-Child is going as a gypsy (a scary gypsy, she tells me), and the Boy-Child will be a vampire. Both costumes we cobbled together mainly from thrift store purchases, and I think both kids will look great. T and I are going military this year. I still need some dog tags and maybe a different hat than ( Read more... ) -
coffee with the girl-child
On Monday and Tuesday mornings, I have to get the kids to school. The Boy-Child's first bell rings significantly sooner than does the Girl-Child's now that they are in different schools. So those mornings, after the Boy-Child gets dropped off, the Girl-Child and I have been stopping at Caribou Coffee to bide our time. I get a small coffee, and she ( Read more... ) -
stupid world war II
OK, World War II actually wasn't stupid, but I'm annoyed with it right now anyway. Why did I disappear suddenly? Well, I was busy for a few days, and then I was hit with having to do a huge-ass index at work for a book on the war in the Pacific. OMG, if I never see Douglas MacArthur's name again, it will be too soon. This was the largest index I've ( Read more... ) -
german horse books
Anyone want some horse books in German? I have no idea what they are about...one of them is called Den Pferden ganz nah, and another is Reiten wie ein Cowboy. Lol, is there no German word for cowboy? There are a few other books as well. They are sitting on the "free books" table at work...so they could go at any minute! Act now! Seriously, if ( Read more... ) -
weigh in
I don't often weigh myself, because I get way too wrapped up in the number and freak out if it's a number I don't like. However, I understand that it's a good thing to weigh yourself now and then to make sure your weight is going in the right direction. So after working out for about a month, I figured it was safe to weigh myself ( Read more... ) -
three people it was nice to see
1. Ex's favorite cousin: I'm still trying to figure out getting the kids to school when I have them. The Boy-Child is now in jr. high, which starts much earlier than the Girl-Child's school. I can drop the Boy-Child off, but then there's an approximately 15-minute wait at the Girl-Child's bus stop or an hour wait before I could drop her off at her ( Read more... ) -
