What a day...
I celebrated my 50th birthday today, which seems very strange - how can I be that old? It just doesn't seem possible and I don't FEEL that old (okay, maybe once in awhile, but not that often!). Anyway, I had a fun day at work with flowers and presents and kids singing to me, etc., and then went out this evening to celebrate with friends. However ( Read more... ) -
In Remembrance of the Titanic
As someone who cruises a lot, all of the stuff about the Titanic creates sort of weird feelings. I'm horrified for the passengers who died so long ago and angry that the company was so arrogant to truly think the ship couldn't sink and so didn't have enough lifeboats. But of course the whole story is fascinating too in a way, otherwise so many ( Read more... ) -
Colbert Report...
Whatever your political leanings I think you'll enjoy this short video. Stephen Colbert LOVES Tolkien and it comes out from time to time on his show.

He was born last week on the 11th - the same day as I finished up school so it was a very good day. *grin* I'm expecting another great ( Read more... ) -
Thirty Years Ago today...
Mount St. Helens exploded in Washington State. I was a senior in high school in Spokane, Washington and we were blanketed in ash. It's something I'll never forget. It was a very scary time because we didn't know what was going to happen next - would the other volcanoes in the Cascade Mtns. explode, was the ash really dangerous, etc. The Spokane ( Read more... ) -
YAHOO!!!
My favorite college basketball team - Gonzaga - won their first game in the NCAA tournament today. It was a very good game and the guys played well and get to play again on Sunday. But I was so nervous I was sick to my stomach. :) Not badly, but still... *rolls eyes at self*
Anyway, it was truly was fun to watch and now I look forward to the ( Read more... ) -
Poor Tucker cat
I just returned from the pet emergency place where I left my cat Tucker who is now having surgery on his cheek. Evidently he was in a cat fight or something because there are two puncture wounds there and an abscess. I'm not sure when it happened. I noticed a couple of days ago he was acting funny... he wasn't hanging around me as much as usual ( Read more... )
