I just spent 20 minutes responding to comments at my this-here-blog. Hmm. I need to do that more often.
ANYWAY… I popped my head up out of bed this morning, changed my sheets, took a shower, cleaned my bathroom, dusted a little, grabbed the laundry and brought it downstairs, cleaned up the kitchen a little, then [...]

You want my WHAT?
I left the house this morning to head out to the Depot for flowers to replace the ones that have died (ruthless death, starving from lack of water… after a full month of non-stop rain).
It’s 10:30 in the morning, and here I am trying to (pretend) to be the consummate gardener (when I’m just the [...]

two-pack fer sure
I was attacked by my sprinkler today whilst trying to find the OPTIUM location which would benefit most/all of the plants in my garden.
I then, much to the entertainment of my 1st and 3rd sons, started to wrestle this sprinkler as my OLDER son couldn’t take the directions, “Turn it OFF, turn it to the [...]

Spackle and Jelly Beans
I’m pretty much annoyed at the road crew blocking me in my driveway. I got up EARLY (do they realize its summer and I don’t HAVE to get up early??)… showered, dressed, and was prepared to LEAVE for the foodstore when I heard the machines grinding up pavement. Again.
I keep peeking out the door, but [...]

Remember when I said I wouldn’t GO there…?
I’m trying to be the adult right now, but what I really want to do is call my mother and rip her a new asshole. One for not putting #3 son in his booster seat and lying to me about it and two, for bitching to my kids that I need to discipline #3 son [...]

Rubber ducks ducking
The kids are currently en route back home. The past few days, I’ve received text messages from #1 son that makes me laugh. (Don’t forget, this is the child who thinks I’m a tyrant.)
“I miss home, can’t wait to leave”
“ONE MORE DAY! YEY!”
“I can’t take it anymore!”
“Please kill me now!”
So, I texted back, “Miss me yet?”
My [...]

HOME (not so) SWEET HOME
I was actually SAD to leave Colorado. I was even sadder to have to sit in Dallas’ airport for 3 hours waiting for our connecting flight back home. What made me even sadder (and a little sick) was the woman sitting in front of us on our last connecting flight back to Jersey… who was [...]

Have I mentioned how much I HATE heights?
Well… I do. Its not so much hate as it is an unholy (terrified) fear of plunging to my death.
So, how does that unholy fear get tested? I agree to go up Pikes Peak with our friends… All 14,110 feet of it… On a windy paved AND dirt road with sharp switchbacks and immediate drops [...]

the bat cave is COLD in the morning
The one thing that I can say about the bat cave is that it definitely is COLD in the morning.
I’m bummed because we’re not going to Boulder this time (sorry)… But was able to work out a visit to Pike’s Peak later today and another stop in Manitou Springs for Patsy’s flavored popcorn. I’m gonna [...]

Echoooo
I’m writing from a secret location in Colorado on my bat phone in a basement, so if when this becomes an entry, and it seems crazy, that’s why.
This is day (counts on fingers) 3-1/2 of pure mountains-near-the-city-living.
We are loving it here. L-O-V-E it! Now, if we can just sell OUR house, things would be [...]

Chicken itza foot
Have I mentioned how MUCH I love MS Office One Note? (It’s craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy, as in CrAzY!) Not exactly conforming to traditional MS Word, yet not quite handwritten on a piece of paper… like… its enables lazy writers to NOT be lazy writers.
Not that I’m lazy (much)…
I do think, however, that my notes look jumbled w/ [...]

Pitter patter of yellow, fuzzy feet.
INSERT PRIMAL YELL (I blame ISP for my angst)… because I have been kicked off and on the I’net SO much the past few days, that I’m starting to bruise.
So, I decided to get a new router/modem. (Maybe that’ll fix it.) And, please, ISP-people… STOP sending me to India to get help. It’s a cruel [...]

The telltale heart…
I definitely get the feeling that there’s something buried under my floors… because for the past week, my ears have bene clogged. Not only are they clogged, but I can hear a beating heart (mine) muffled through clogged ears. Boom, boom. Boom, boom.
As it (probably) turns out, the meds (albeit they have cleared UP my [...]

Merrily marching along… that is, until I trip and fall down the stairs
Ok, so you know I’m doing this geneology thing, yes? And, that I’ve been (inadvertantly) reconnected with a cousin who is doing the same thing (except, I have more than she does… pictures, dates, and various other information)?
Did I also mention that I gave her my PHONE NUMBER…and it appears that I am her “new” [...]

I think I’m ADD…
I don’t remember how it started… but I have given rebirth to the geneology thing I started a couple of years ago. And, when I should be writing my lessons for the fall, I’m doing everything BUT writing lessons. Well, this is the story of my life.
:Belated Happy 4th of July–May Independence Reign!:
Ok, so Friday… [...]
