Wow - I am despondent about my niece right now. She currently is not presentable and not employable material: obese, acne ridden, snaggle-toothed, bad hair and worse clothing, and oh yeah, illiterate. How could she give herself less of a chance of making a living? By getting her tongue pierced. Jesus fucking Christ.  I guess this is fine if her ( Read more... )

After a month of taking extra careful care of myself, I still got sick. Hard to avoid when patient zero lives in your house. So now the hubby and I are stuffy together. Our social quarentine continues - I have missed two parties and a baby shower in the past three weeks. The plus is I have watched/dozed through several great movies: Casablanca, Dr ( Read more... )

I have downloaded Intro to Biology from MIT and purchased my text book from Amazon. In a week or so I will begin discover if I remember how to go to school. If the answer is yes, next step is to meet with admission counselors for nursing school - Part time, of course.

Everyone have a snuggly, fun and safe new year!

With the guy having only Christmas Day off this week, our holiday plans for the week are mini. No travel to his family, no big dinner. Just the day together, with dim sum and a movie planned.

Mother Nature gave us an early, sort-of, gift - the high winds yesterday knocked down our dead tree. Minimal damage to the fence because it fell in our yard ( Read more... )

My venture into the craft market was a success! My in person sale more than covered my expenses! Next step is an esty account to see if they sell without people knowing me as the designer. Whoo hoo!

Poop! Some of the EP football fans have been planning a party for the Pats-Steelers game next Sunday. Our version of the Super Bowl, and what it should be every year. But, the NFL and TV folks moved the Falcons game to 4pm. Fuck. Black-out of all other games, includng ours. So, no party. Bummer!

Our neighbor Gary joked about our street a few weeks back. It is the antithesis of a party street. Instead of folks staying up late, loud music blasting, cars coming and going, it pretty much shuts down at 10pm. He said you had better go to bed right then, because the yard work begins promptly at 8am on Saturdays and 10am on Sundays. Not what most ( Read more... )

My two fun projects right now are Duvet for New Bed and Bookmarks. There is not a lot out there right now for bedding that the guy and I can agree on and that meets the requirement of me not throwing up if the cats throw up on the duvet. What is with all the grey, brown and cold hued blues?  And I love Calvin Klein but the kitties will barf on the ( Read more... )

It's a special kind of indigestion - the one caused by sinus drainage. I love fall, but damn. I hope I can recover by staying in tonight and be able to enjoy Saturday and Sunday, instead of losing another two days to being an energy-less, urky slug on the couch like last weekend.
