Grumpy
I have a head cold, thus the "grumpy" mood choice. Yes, I am certain that it is only a head cold. You really ought to try explaining how you are certain that it is NOT H1N1 to your very upset DD at midnight sometime. Parenthood is grand. But I suppose in a few years she'll be a teenager and just let me pass in my sleep as opposed to waking me ( Read more... ) -
Decent reads, lately
I've read three half way decent books lately, for what its worth.
The Ice House by Minette Waters. I read this one based on a recommendation of another book by the same author from marymont. This one is a better than average murder mystery. Better than average character development, not truly cozy, which is my "too tired for anything else" genre. ( Read more... ) -
Jack Daniels Fishing Story
I finally got around to going fishing this mornin' - but after a while, I ran out of worms. Then I saw a Cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth, and frogs are good bass bait. Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth, I grabbed him right behind the head,took the frog and put it in my bait bucket. Now the dilemma was how to release ( Read more... ) -
A lifelong dream
I am truly beginning to believe that I am about to fulfill a lifelong dream. I have tickets to the next shuttle launch!! And, having waited until I am forty-mumblety years old, I get to share the magic with my family! My kids are old enough to remember forever and DH and I are young enough to remember for a very long time at least ( Read more... ) -
Worse than a pun, a math pun
For DH, all others are warned ( Read more... ) -
Yoga in Purple Kool Aid Land south
There is yoga here in purple kool aid land-south. Yep, yep. So I gotta ask you guys, does it normally feel strange to go to something other than your normal yoga class? OK, the class ended weakly for me because I'm not used to getting a dose of tent revival along with my savasana, so I'm working on letting go of that and trying to think about ( Read more... ) -
words from Donal
From donal_mac_r1.sweet- Ha,ha! OK, my first thought was "Honey, you are dating yourself!" Espeially if that is the first word! But I suppose I am guilty as charged even still..... I think "sweet" has almost developed some negative connotations, sort of implying a lack of perception, or maturity or even common sense. I don't think I am naive (not too ( Read more... ) -
some other words
1. Knitting- In addition to the rest, it is a great social outlet. Knitters seem to me to be a very congenial sort. Of course, we all sort of "get" each other. The desire to pet the yarn, why needles made of natural materials feel better, why we would spend all that time doing something we could buy more easily ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
From lorebubeck1. yoga =) - My latest ongoing experiment. I am getting too old to do my job by rejuvenating only my body. My body alone can't absorb and disperse all of it. It was time to figure out how to rejuvenate my spirit as well. Granted sex, alcohol and rock and roll are all great, but at my age I needed something more substantive. I really only ( Read more... ) -
Chasing Bikes
Because cars are too darn fast for me to catch! But there is another cyclist out there. I don't know where he comes from but he normally passes me about a mile into my 10 mile loop at work. I'm chasing him hard though he doesn't know it. I'm getting faster, he opens up less than a mile on me now before I turn to go back to my office.
