So, the day I go on bedrest, my damn computer broke. The WLAN adapter seems to have just dissapeared. Impressive since it's INSIDE the sealed laptop. The drivers and all associated files are still there, but the stupid hardware seems to not be working. Gonna probably have to sucker down and beg the neighbor to help out. I hate asking people to ( Read more... )

Everything is piling up. Kids should be here two weeks earlier than assumed, apparently they won't let me go to full 40 weeks even if my body lets me. So everything is piling up. NOTHING is ready. We have a stroller, finally, but it's not currently car seat compatible. Guess that doesn't matter much, we still need car seats. We still need a ( Read more... )

So, I took Roscoe, our new puppy friend, for a good once over by the vet today. We were curious what the vet would say about breed of the pup, expectations, health, trainability, fit to our family... yadda yadda yadda ( Read more... )

Robert, Mister "Maybe we'll get another dog in a year or so", came home with a puppy today. I agreed to try the dog out for a weekend. It's a 4 month old God only knows what. He's really cute, but the bugger bites and whines, and whines, and whines some more. I'm trying...

On a lighter note, I took a class in how to knit today! Happy happy! Going back next week.

So last night, and quite unexpectedly, my dog that I've had for going on ten years now passed away. And I don't know what the hell to do with myself.

And the worst part is, she was showing signs of being really bad off last night, and I thought she was ( Read more... )

My amazing son, he also has similar taste in music to his parents. Since he was in the womb, and to this day, Jimmy Buffett was and is his favorite singer. He has so many songs memorized, it's hilarious. I went to a Buffett concert when I was pregnant with him, and the next day, he was still dancing in the ultrasound picture. While most kids ( Read more... )

My husband and I have very different political views. He is, however, the one who chooses to watch every freaking speach the president gives, but spends the entire time getting irritated with the protocols for the rest the people in the chamber, sighing and grumbling at every reaction from the audience, and getting catty about EVERYTHING being ( Read more... )

... and for crying out loud, Faith Hill just doesn't speak "sportsmanship" to me. You know, just a thought.

So all through the holidays we've been so worried about our neighbor. He was a much older gentleman, not in the best of shape. He was married to a very sweet woman named Ruth. Every where they went, they were like highschool sweethearts. He was a touch crude, and she was the pretty little thing, but together they were the sweetest of sweet. We ( Read more... )
