Y'all have been waiting for this one, I bet
So in case y'all haven't heard, Gov. Goodhair issued an executive order mandating that all girls entering middle school get the new Gardasil vaccine against HPV. My initial reaction was "Wow. He actually did something I can approve of." The more I think and read about it, though, the more I realize that it's crap on both a practical and ( Read more... ) -
Quick one, heavy on bike info
Today I finally found and rode the SA Missions bike trail. This is a multi-use path along the San Antonio River that wends its way to each of the 5 missions. I skipped the Alamo, largely b/c I had absolutely no desire to bike in downtown. I started at the "main" mission, San Jose, and rode down to Espada, then back up to Concepcion, and back to ( Read more... ) -
I keep promising, don't I?
So I had to go back and reread all my posts, because MM read them. Nothing too horrifying, thank heavens. Still, I noticed that I frequently would put a parenthetical remark about a detail and promise a later post. Well, I'll try to catch up on some of those stories over the next several weeks ( Read more... ) -
Oh why not
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad.

Harwood, Texas

Dear Diary:
Delicate, sterling silver heart-shaped earings from James Avery. A card with lots of "we" and future-tensed language.
And the weirdest part? I'm not really freaking out. I'm just enjoying the gift of this time right now.
Maybe GT and GE were right along: Maybe I could only find the right guy in Texas, not Yankee Land. -

A brief catching up
I just got fussed at by GT, the original slacker blogger. Yeesh. Still, he's got an almost legitimate kvetch b/c I emailed him and several other close friends w/ what counts in my world as an info bomb: I have a boyfriend ( Read more... ) -
Solitude, blessed solitude
Mom and Dad have gone up to Oklahoma for a few days so Mom can attend her Campfire Girl's reunion, and I have the house to myself. It feels wonderful! Having lived alone so long, one of the issues I've been struggling with has been the relative lack of privacy and constant exposure to other people. Having this kind of alone time is now pure ( Read more... )
