Sad day...
We had Brutus put to sleep today. I suspected such an outcome yesterday, & have been a wreck since. I'm upset for me - he was my first raised-from-a-baby pet ever. I was more worried about Mac ( Read more... ) -
Too old to pout?
So the Father's Day thing...originally it was just going to be Vic and Dad (and Gladys). Well, and T, of course. But then I thought it would be nice to invite Grandpa and Grandma, too. Then I called Val - I kind of like having her around. That little voice in the back of my head kept piping up, "What about your aunt?" Well, I can justify not ( Read more... ) -
Running stuff
So I started running again tonight. It's been nearly 2 years since I ran last. I've always said that I hate running...but I love the way I feel afterward. Tonight is no exception! I'm using the "Couch to 5K" running plan, which can turn a couch potato into a distance runner. One of my unspoken (thus far, anyway) goals in this whole weight loss ( Read more... ) -
Too much time to think
I've come to a few decisions of varying degrees of importance. Nothing Earth-shattering, but I feel better putting it in writing. Or in text? Whatever.

Need party ideas...
Mac is having a 'totally gross' birthday party this year. I made up a treasure hunt last year for his Indiana Jones party, which turned out to be pretty cool.

I don't want to give away too ( Read more... ) -
"Hey numbnuts..."
"...in .4 miles, turn right!".
That's the new voice my husband has on his GPS. It's American Redneck. Nice, innit? -
So much anger!
This is going to be a big old bitch and moan about family. Feel free to ignore this...

Change
Today is Mac's last day as a 4th grader. That means one more year of elementary school. We're quickly treading into muddy waters here. I remember myself at this age. Ugh... We're also going to take him out of day care over the summer. $85 a week saved. T and I had disagreements about summer day care anyway...I felt that he only needed to be ( Read more... ) -
If you wanted to get me something for my birthday...
I'd happily accept either Carmine Giovinazzo or Eddie Cahill of CSI: New York. Either one or both...I mean, really, it's up to you. -
John Irving...
...rocks my socks. Even the ones that get lost in the dryer!
I've read Hotel New Hampshire, The World According to Garp, and now I'm reading A Widow for One Year. Good stuff. A little bear-heavy, but I guess SOMEONE has to write about them.
I just read and reread a sentence about 5 times, laughing so hard I couldn't see anymore. I was going to ( Read more... )
