YAYYYYAYYYYAYYYY!!!!!

This is the first day of summer, the first day I didn't have to get up at 530 to get Nick to his bus on time,so I got an extra hour of sleep! Delicious :)

I'm back in biz. My personal geek squad came over yesterday, and after some sort of scary modifications, he installed a new power supply, and whoosh! Up and functioning again. This is perfect timing too, as Monday is the last day of school, and I don't need a bored teen on my hands ;)

Last night, I was serving up a nice dinner, Manicotti, garlic bread, mmmmm. Nick was dishing himself up, when his hand zigged when it should have zagged, and an entire stuffed pasta tube hit the floor. No biggie, except(!) we have a food obsessed corgi in the house, who heard the plop and came on the gallup. Knowing that the food was a. hot as hell ( Read more... )

My bunny pic always reminds me of this site, enjoy!

Well, it was beautiful and so so sad. There were so many people, they had to set up speakers, and pipe the service out to us 150 or so folk who couldn't fit in the church.And just to prime the water works, it opened with that song from Romeo and Juliet, the one that goes "A rose will bloom, it soon will fade, so dies a youth, so dies the fairest ( Read more... )

My kid came home yesterday with a certificate stating that he got voted "Student of the Week"! He has been helping the school librarian, she screwed up her back, so he's been going in before classes and helping her pull down chairs, and after school, putting them back up, and anything else she needs. So he got a certificate, a wristband, free lunch ( Read more... )

Well, we took Nick's science project up to the school on Monday, as it was due Tuesday. Unfortunately, some little creep apparently was playing with it, and left it (an electromagnet) on, thus draining the soldered on battery. Nick found this out because he went to check on it after school. Good thing he did! He was scheduled to present it first ( Read more... )
