Fab is in Las Vegas this weekend for the blogging convention. I wish I could be there! I envy all the people who got to go. In a perfect world, I would have booked my flight (first class, of course) far in advance, with a new suitcase full of all new clothes. Money would be [...]
My house is a mess, usually. It’s ok. I can admit it with relatively little damage to my psyche. I’m not nearly as organized as I would like to be. It’s sort of been a lifelong thing. My mom can tell you that my room was usually a mess, and my college friends can tell [...]
There are woods behind my house. Actually, there’s a cornfield behind my house, and THEN there are woods. Last night I heard coyotes out there. Seriously. Previously, I’d thought it might be fun to take a walk in the woods. I’d find a day when my back didn’t hurt too bad, put on some good [...]
I tried a new search engine today. It’s www.spock.com, and it’s a people search engine. You can search for people by name or by putting in various descriptive terms to see what comes up. For example, you can put in obscure stuff like “blue eyes” and “loves broccoli”, just to see who on the planet [...]
My bathroom floor looks awful. It needs new flooring. When I moved in, it looked ok, but it had these cheap adhesive tiles that started to smear around in the hot weather. Soon all the tiles were out of place, stuck where they shouldn’t be. And of course THEN you can’t move them back. I [...]
My mother loved to practice target shooting when she was younger (teens, early 20′s). She was really good at it, and often did better than others with whom she was competing. Keep in mind that this was back in the 1950′s and 60′s, when women weren’t supposed to be better than men at anything. But [...]
Once in awhile at ABC group parties, there is a lot of drinking going on. I don’t always participate, but when I do, I like to make sure I actually enjoy what I’m drinking. I’m fascinated by different flavors and combinations. One thing I haven’t had in a long time is Tequila. Usually, that stuff [...]
My garage is probably emptier than most, but it still needs a good cleaning. I don’t park my car in there. I used to, but then the automatic garage door opener stopped working, so I just park in the driveway instead. (What, you think I’m going to get out and lift that big heavy door [...]
I know I’m old when I hear myself saying things like “I remember when gas was only 55 cents a gallon,” or “Candy bars used to cost only a quarter.” I know, I’m “only” 37. Anyway, I also remember when commercials were more fun than most of what’s on TV these days. Oh, we get [...]
These days I think it’s harder than ever to raise children. There are the “terrible twos”, and then there are the “terrible teens.” Really. I don’t know how parents do it. I couldn’t handle it. I’d need help keeping the toddlers from eating drain cleaner and paint chips, then a few years down the road [...]
