Sometimes...

The Aging Chronicles
If you know me, you've probably heard me say I'm an old lady in a young person's body. It's not so much a complaint (although it kind of is) as a simple statement of fact. I had shingles when I was about 14. I got arthritis (from overuse) when I was 16. My back and neck pop, and my knees and ankles creak. I'm nearly physically incapable of ( Read more... ) -
wednesday
Well, it's not exactly a weekend update. I'm just kind of trying to get my head on straight and get caught up on things. Hm, I just started typing and now don't know what to say! I've got softball tonight, and Justin comes home. Softball tomorrow, too. I've got a cut on my forefinger that may affect my throwing; I hurt myself opening a plastic ( Read more... ) -
Not quite what I had planned...
I had a very relaxing weekend, though I did almost nothing on my list. It was still great ( Read more... ) -
hip hip hooray
Oh, thank heavens it's Friday again. I am so ready for the weekend! It has been a really long week, but a good one, what with Justin making a pit stop home and winning another softball game with the Zinners. The weather is great, and I'm looking forward to maybe laying out and reading, and getting in a bike ride, and maybe going to hear the ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
This made me smile today:
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood

There must have been a moment of truth
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So ( Read more... ) -
Another Weekend Spent Wisely
First, I'm really tired of hearing myself say, week after week, that I did x, y, and z but not laundry. Seriously, I don't want to look back in ten years and think of all the laundry I didn't wash ( Read more... ) -
Like MacGuyver, only not as fun to think about
I learned a new word today, "kluge." If I understand correctly, it means a clumsy or inefficient solution to a problem, especially referring to computer or hardware/software issues. I stumbled across it in an article about the human brain. Turns out some scientists think we really ARE wired to "hear only what we want to hear," and that our ( Read more... ) -
Softball Stuff
I met a lady at the dog park who invited me to play on her softball team Wednesday nights, as they are frequently short a girl or two. Last night was my first time out and to meet everybody.
I was one of the first ones there, so got to meet pretty much everybody as they showed up, which I think was better than showing up last and trying to remember ( Read more... ) -
Nomenclature
The warden at Louisiana State Penitentiary, aka Angola, is Burl Cain. Isn't that the perfect name for a warden?
On a side note, when I was home Carla gave me an inmate-manufactured ash tray made of a Louisiana license plate. It looks like a combination of the two images below.
