So, Charles and I are becoming regulars in the Henry County courthouses.  I had jury duty a few months ago, and now he has it.  I also got subpoenaed to be over at the juvenile court for the trial of the kid who stole my purse and committed credit card fraud 10 months ago.  I saw the video of him using the card, and he looked like he could have ( Read more... )

Ever have one of those nightmares that lasts all night - you can tell it has been going on for hours and hours, but you can't make yourself wake up?

I had one last night, and can't shake it off.  There's this dark cloud over my day so far because my brain isn't ready to grasp yet that none of it was real.  At least I hope none of it was.  It sure  ( Read more... )

I will spare everyone the whole "This is why I have been missing for weeks on end" details, because they don't matter and are boring.  I will just say that I am back and will really try to get back on a regular schedule.  I can't even fathom how much I have missed in your lives, but am going to work really hard to catch up.

I hope you all are well

Rules:

* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.

Here's mine:

I am the proud new owner of the Mother of All Papercuts.  It is astounding how much those buggers hurt.

Once again I am way behind on LJ.  Missing a few days is NEVER A GOOD IDEA.  It will take some time to catch up, but meanwhile I would like to out myself as an elderly dork, and say that I think Christopher Cross' song 'Sailing' is one of the most exceptional tunes to drive along to on a beautiful day.    That means that I blasted it on my iPod in ( Read more... )

Dear, sweet collette  has given me the best news I have heard in a really long time:

There is going to be an Arrested Development movie!!!!!!!!!!

I'm way too excited about this.

COME ON!

That actually reminds me of a story, that was kinda sad at the time, but now that some years have passed, I can see how funny it is.   On the day my mom died, I had ( Read more... )
