Had one of those breakthrough ideas last night. Of all places, at my son’s football game. I work hard to avoid crowds here around election time because I inevitably have different views, but it’s nearly impossible with kid stuff. I usually sit a little apart and stay out of the conversations, but I was feeling social. …

Through a Child’s Story
Yesterday, my eleven year-old son handed me a short story he’d written for school. He asked me not to mark on it because he’d spent a lot of time typing it. The writer in me desperately wanted to show misspellings, errors and um, add paragraph breaks. 😉 But the writer in me was also blown…
I’ll Be Back
Have a few things to work on, so I’m escaping for a couple of days. Don’t let the party get out of hand while I’m gone. 😉
Sitting Happy Right Now
I am officially an Iron Man Fangirl. Rented the copy we watched tonight. Returning it tomorrow to buy my own copy.
Absolutely Fabulous. Want DVDs.
I miss this show. No other series has consistently made me laugh until I cry.. This is my favorite scene–check out Patsy at the very end. [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r_JnGUexsw] These two are from the same show. “Is it a bee?” cracks me up every time. And again, check out Patsy in the end. 😉 [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEc5YFW0zXo] [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef_1375G5xM] There…
Halloween Decorating
So, we pulled out all the Halloween decorations, took apart the family room and started decorating. While the hubby and son were strategically placing stuff around the house, the daughter and I were um… doing this.
Package!
My recent order came in! I’m so excited! In addition to a big, fat research book on Northern Mythology, I got these two. (Now, if I can just be more patient over two that have struck my fancy and aren’t out yet! Devon Monk’s Magic to the Bone and Carrie Ryan’s The Forest of Hands…
Vitamin D. Good.
A break was what I needed. Took some reading material outside and let the sun evaporate my worries and doubts away. I left the phone inside. <g>
Telemarketers, Credit Cards and Snark
Yesterday was not my day. Not only did I spend too much time glued to news channels, but a salesman came to my door since the hubby pulled down my “no soliciting” sign. I told the man I wasn’t interested and he came back with another man! Not only do I really dislike opening my door to a stream…
Vampire Gerbil
Another Monday. Several of you know why there’s a sigh in those two words. 😉 I’m ready for this week. Since I didn’t want to share my hovering cold with an expectant mother, I skipped a family baby shower and instead caught up my cleaning. Gutted my son’s room which was scary and exhausting,…
