For those of you who know anything about photography
I obviously don't know squat about photography. creactivity? Anyone else? My niece's birthday is around a very sharp corner here, and I would really like to get her something photography-related. A book, I'm guessing, because I certainly cannot afford any camera or camera equipment. Does anyone have any suggestions? She is very much into photography ( Read more... ) -
Yesterday's big question to Ma
I didn't want to write of it because, well, I'm horribly ashamed for having such feelings. But I knew that Ma would not only understand, she would give me the go-ahead and thumbs-up or whatever it was I needed when I asked her if I could shoot the damned squirrels. Do not think ill of me for having such thoughts and do understand that I would ( Read more... ) -
Just in case ...
These last few days have been days from hell. And I'm told that ..., well, nevermind, Mr. Neighbor will be here soon, so I don't have time for storytelling. Except for this little storytelling tidbit ( Read more... ) -
Death and burial and remains and stuff
I actually slept until about 4 a.m. Between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m., I did a lot of tossing and turning, but I didn't get my bum out of bed until 4. This sleep thing is really becoming problematic. Dr. Meds once gave me some sleep meds, but I don't take them often (as in almost never), because, for one thing, although I seem like I am one big pharmacy ( Read more... ) -
The ten feet of snow in my yard
So when our first snowfall came around, I begged Mr. Plowman to please try to plow the snow somewhere other than in my yard. I had told him I was trying to beautify my yard, and he, very sweetly, remarked that he had noticed and would do what he could to plow the snow elsewhere. A whole bunch of snowfalls later, I now have a huge heap of snow in ( Read more... ) -
Mr. Neighbor's brother's services
I really don't see that we'll be able to pull it off. Sad. So sad. So, so sad.
I might have the gas funds, but there are still far too many logistics to deal with before setting out on the road. And these services are supposed to be tomorrow. I think Mr. Neighbor's cousin (and anyone she "invites") will be the only one(s) in attendance ( Read more... ) -
Well, it's 4 a.m.
And I've been wide awake for about three hours.
I got all my ribbons pressed. And cards printed for them.

Is it any wonder that my chest wall is flaring again
Seems Mr. Neighbor's cousin was pretty incensed that I was trying to assist Mr. Neighbor in getting funeral arrangements made for his brother. So I backed off. Now, very suddenly, I hear they want to have services on Tuesday for him. I would really like to have been a fly on the wall when his cousin told him this, because Mr. Neighbor has not a ( Read more... ) -
Oh, all right
I can be resourceful when I must.
Wanting the lights up on the seed-starting beast, I resorted to crafting my own S-hooks. And, wahlah. She's ready to rock 'n' roll. Or sprout some seeds.

Another meme, youyou--this one on quirks
There's a miniature back hallway between my back door (in my bedroom) and the main back door. (Hard to explain. It's miniature as in it's about two steps from door A to door B.) Anyway, I use a big portion of this miniature back hallway to store stuff. Now, I have a lot of stuff that could be stored back there, but what do I mostly store back ( Read more... )
