In no particular order, here are the other things that are going on around here this week:
My best friend has returned from two weeks in New Mexico. I have missed her and can’t wait to catch up with her.
The kittens under our deck seem to realize that I = food. Therefore, they’re cautiously friendly around [...]

I am distracted today.
Yesterday was the open house at Spawn’s school, the one where everybody converges to find out what classes they’re in and what teachers they’ll have. So we went, and Spawn got the teacher I had hoped for, and tomorrow night my husband and I will go back to the school for a [...]

Thus far, I have called every age that Spawn’s been through, “the best”. And it’s true, I’ve enjoyed every age and stage so far.
So far.
Now we’re dealing with being mouthy. And I am not enjoying it.
Now, I don’t remember being particularly mouthy as a kid. Mainly because I was terrified that my parents would kill [...]

My husband and I took Spawn to the amusement/water park yesterday. The kid has been bugging us all summer to go, because the park has been advertising incessantly on TV and radio since, oh, May, and boy is my kid tuned in to the commercials these days. And with the first day of school looming [...]

Now, banks are quiet, quiet, quiet, and my bank is just like all the rest, with everyone hunkered down in their ivory towers, counting the beans. The flagship location of my bank is brand-new, less than three [...]

Holy crap.
I have been hunting for two days, trying to find a flight between our teeny midwestern airport and the much more accomodating, larger airport in Florida where my relatives live, a flight that doesn’t have five million connections in between the two airports.
Do you know how hard that is?
This is one of the things, I [...]

Still not a whole lot to tell.
Or rather, plenty to tell and yet not really in the mode for sharing right now.
Check with me later.

Man, I hate this. I had a really good post all written up in my head while I was in the shower this morning and now for the life of me I can’t even remember what it was about. Damn. I’m at my most brilliant when I’m nowhere near my writing tools.
~sigh~ This has been [...]

There are days, like today, where it is quite an effort for me to balance this eight pounds of flesh and skull on top of my shoulders.
Wow, boy, do I have a headache today.
I don’t know for sure if it’s a tension headache or a sinus headache or both, but right now I’m leaning toward [...]

You know what kind of day it’s going to be when it’s 5:30 in the morning and some dumbass drunk-dials your unlisted number and gets you up out of bed.
No, I was not nice.
Yes, it’s been that kind of day.
