I don’t know how my weekend is going to go, but for now it looks like I’m going to be pretty busy. Mom’s floor is getting replaced and we are going to do some shopping for more home improvement stuff for her house. Somewhere in there I hope to see…
When I first got on the internet, I loved the anonymity. I could be anyone I wanted to be and I took full advantage of that, and I was hardly alone. Things have changed, and now it’s next to impossible to hide behind a cryptic username or anonymous email. Employers…
A rock hit my windshield this morning on the way to work. It must have been a big rock because it caused a one-inch hole with cracks webbing out as much as 6 inches around it. I called the insurance company even before I got to work and it’s going…
Years ago, right after I moved out on my own for the first time, I remember watching a fairly forgettable sitcom, The Torkelsons. The show was about a single mom raising a family of five kids on her own. In one episode, her aunt comes to visit and asks her….

Mom and I went shopping tonight, just for something to do. We ended up at Old Navy and she found a couple of items she wanted to try. They had to let us into the dressing room, and since I had nothing to try on, but wanted to see how…
The informational meeting for prospective foster/adoptive parents was tonight and now I have to figure out how soon I want to start the process. I have some stuff I need to do around the house and a few other things I need to get ready before the home study. Here…
Listening to a podcast today (Popstuff from How Stuff Works) the podcaster referred to herself as “super-literate” because she owned 800 books. I thought it was funny and mentioned it to a coworker, who agreed with the podcaster. That surprised me. I have 200 books in this room alone, and…
I know it’s just the last couple of days of winter, but it’s too soon for the weather to be this beautiful, isn’t it? The day was so nice that I spent a couple of hours out on my hammock, finishing The Hunger Games. It’s not that I’m complaining, but…
