Here's the scoop. Nell Selden was born on July 2nd. Perfectly wonderful, healthy baby girl. Jay turned 3 on August 16th. A party was had. I returned to work on September 1st. Things here are crazy. My building was taken over by the state. They're here running things now. Noone knows what they're doing or who to report to. I ask a question and 75% ( Read more... )

It has been months since my last confession posting. I always intend to do better, but there's really not so much to say. I go to work, come home and take care of Jay, go to sleep. So here's an attempts at substance ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to robertgarretThings here are good. Busy and good. I'm through with classes for the semester and have ended up opting for an incomplete in one class until I get some work done. I just couldn't keep up this semester which I feel guilty about, but grateful that my prof gave this offer ( Read more... )

Lots of happy people and people who were not necessarily in support of Obama have let them slide. Now I have one friend who posted something last night about praying for our ( Read more... )

2:41 and I'm awake. Jay has had a bad cough and coughs a lot worse at night. Took him to the Dr yesterday to be told it's still just a cold. Nothing to worry about. Can't believe he sleeps through it most of the time. So he did wake up and I got up to check him which is when it hit me that I forgot to take my allergy meds yesterday which I realized ( Read more... )

So I'm reading the f-list (just because I don't post doesn't mean I don't read) and realized I really should write something since it's been forever. I just get so busy and mind swamped that I can't think of anything to say. So...ended my first semester of grad school with a B and an A-. Pre-Christmas at work was super busy, as usual. Christmas ( Read more... )

There's this man here in town we always called "Duff." He would walk around downtown in a ball cap, t-shirt and sweat pants pushed up almost to his knees with tube socks. He's been around since I came to illedgeville in the mid-nineties. In July, this article appeared in the local paper. Since then there hasn't been much change. Duff would be ( Read more... )
