Yes, I think this is year five for me. I had to hide some posts from previous years for various reasons. Ah mysterious Jyllian, perhaps just a bit. Totally unrelated to anything: James just said how he didn’t want a ham for Xmess dinner. Because the leftovers oppress him …
Well, I don’t think I ever posted any of this years pics. I’m out of words today. I got barked at at work (people really get peevish about computers –seriously peevish) and even though the situation was a case of more work than I have time for, and that I’m …
“She hath more hair than wit, and more faults than hairs…â€~Willy the Shake I’m starting to wonder if my hair has become too much to keep up. Yes, in the scheme of things hair is negligible, but personally, I think it has a lot to do with how we see …
Me, but mostly kitties. Mr. Teatime (Maine Coon rescue) We adopted him when we thought it would be awhile before we managed to get pregnant. We brought him home and I got knocked up. Bartleby (Siamese) is my boyo, my devoted shadow and sweet guy. We sometimes call them Skipper …
Ok, here goes. The other day, A post I read at Mental Mosaic , written by the effervescent Tui Cameron, got me thinking. And this is a BIG circle so bear with me. I noticed that all my writing projects—in school, jobs or personally have 3 distinct points on the …

As much as I don’t want to get any more involved in microsoftlandia than I already am (yes yes I know, I’m an MCSE, but I see all the shortcomings… well Blogdesk doesn’t deal with tags so well and I’m trying to see if this will. J and I are …
Do you have a song that just cuts you to the quick? I have a few. For various reasons. I’ll give you, oh three here. The first one is the Donni Darko version of Mad World (originally written by Tears for Fears). When I hear this I am automatically transported …
Have you ever wanted a Do Over? Some time in your life– either a pivotal moment or a series of events that might have been turned around that you’d just like to roll back. I have some of those. But I wonder, how far can you go with that and …
Let’s see if I can get this to work. A small vid of the Bean from my iphone Dark, but cute. I wonder if two will work. If this one doesn’t give you pause, I suspect you might be missing some important human attribute. yay, I figured it out. …
This is really pretty and hypnotic Wheel of Stars This is also entrancing. The palindrome setting sound like Dr. Who. I could probably sleep peacefully listening to this. This video makes me happy every time I watch it: Kitty is a very bad mystic One of my favorite …
I’m very tired and my leg hurts a lot. I’m getting tired of the subject though. Small things. The Bean and I both really like Monster High Dolls. I was inordinately happy to tell her about Cat Town. She reads an episode or two a night. The theme song from …
First before I get to that. Em got a solo in her choir. YAY!! We are proud. Also my goal planning with newboss and Mr. Principal didn’t go badly at all. I did talk with them about getting certified and they thought it was a great idea. I will not …
And it still is because while I am many things–geek, reader, cat lover, wife–on the day the Bean was born, Mother became my chief identifier. I have always been independant. I’ve often gone my own way, usually uniquely attired. I didn’t just march to a different drummer, but a different …
Babbage Basement Cat Originally uploaded by jyllianm Just sharing this picture of Babbage our youngest. He is a fierce hunter. Every so often a field mouse gets in and either Babbage or Haru become mighty hunters and slay them mightily. This was the latest victim. I am considering giving up …
I tried to go to work today. I got in the front door and started crying. Not all out sobbing mind you, but just overwhelmed by how much it hurt and how tough it was to get everything done today. I’m very much a creature of habit. My routines make …
I’m going to try and rebuild my laptop. It’s barely creeping by. I noticed on ebay, as I was looking for more memory, that the Dell xps m140s are being resold for between $50 and $200. I have to keep it going for another six months though. Have to get …
