This weekend while we were driving past a parking lot, we spotted a kitten eating some tossed out trash. I stopped and really thought the kitten would run before we got close to it. Not quite... she actually ran to Codi to be picked up ( Read more... )

I took mom to look at an apartment that I found on Craigslist, which sounds bad but it's not. It's a senior community that was built about 5 years ago and thanks to the tornado, it's just had extensive work done on it. I think the lady showing us around said they'd had to replace 130,000 square feet of sheetrock due to the water damage. They lost ( Read more... )

I dug around my hard drive and found a Tony Stark fic languishing there. It's over a year old and has just sat there for nearly that long. The problem is that I don't feel that I'm competent enough as an editor to edit it myself, and I can't seem to get and/or keep a beta. They seem to run away after a couple of emails.

Mom and I went to the casino tonight, we're not much on gambling, but it's fun sometimes. Okay, she likes the slots and would put all her money in them if she could, but she can't ( Read more... )

Check out the weather forcast for the next several days. And BTW, the lowest temp we had was 79 night before last -- 84 is as low as it's gotten in over 3 weeks. So far this year, we had a blizzard, then flooding, then a tornado. Who pissed off Mother Nature?!
