Almost done
I’ve got a new visitor tracker installed (it’s invisible currently) because Feedjit is opt out and I have some stalkers 🙂 I’d like them to know I know they are visiting. Other project going along nicely. Jury Duty tomorrow. I’m kind of looking forward to it. I’ve only been called …
That’s what to do
I like the idea of a wysiwyg life, but it isn’t entirely feasible anymore. I don’t want to let this corner of the web go though. I appreciate the dialogues I’ve developed with folks over the last few years. But I’m going for a major change. I’m scaling a mountain, …
It might be time to move along
Should I get an entirely new wordpress blog and lose these readers? Or go to blogger and blogspot? Should I attempt to rewrite bits of this? I’m considering finding a place where I can very anonymously. I really love this blog though… Ideas?
Will you marry me?
Every year, at midnight of the 31st, J asks me to marry him again. And every year I say yes. This year he told me how lucky he was to have met me and I told him how wonderful he is. He’s proven that even more often in the last …
oh Christmas
I hope in the new year I’ll be back to updating this more frequently. It isn’t like we’ve had a shortage of goings on. We’ve been very busy– parties, visits, visits from others, cookie making with my friend L (we’ve been friends pretty much for over 20 years, yow–the cookie …
There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep
~Ralph Waldo Emerson Lord what a day. The Family care committee put the food boxen together today. 11 families 2 big boxen of cans and dry foods and one giant bag of frozen foods of various types each. And each family got gifts for all their kids. It was cool. …
Speak your mind
I am realizing slowly that it is very important to speak my mind. I’ve been way to nice for too long and that allows people to get away with too much, much too much. So my goal for the coming year–telling it like it is, standing up for myself in …
“Adversity is the first path to truth.â€
~Byron I think I’m about to hit the library again and pick up some Romantics. It’s time to revisit them and other Victorian writing. I disliked many of the Victorians in graduate school, which was rather heretical. I spent my time either with Chaucer or Shakespeare or in later ages …
Going Forward, Looking Back, all and only tangents
OK then, my friend A isn’t here yet and the Bean is playing Jumpstart 1st grade (smarTYpants) on her computer. So I’m going to blither a bit. Yes, her computer. It used to be mine, but I started working on videos with effects and music and such so I needed …
BOOM!
I may post actual content later, depends on if my friend A comes over. I wanted to get this up though to qualify and say…I MADE IT. I know they have a seal of completion but I love de kittyhead. Technorati : nablopomo
THE Bean’s Fire story now with Ninjas
By The Bean “I saw a big smoke outside the art room window. And I thought it was a fire heading for school. My mommy came to pick me up and I said it was a fire in our neighborhood and the teachers were worried. We had to go home …
Learning Karate
Took Bean to her first karate lesson today. It was fierce and adorable. I told her she’d have to be serious and pay attention and she did great. She is not lacking in confidence–jut threw herself into it and tried everything full throttle. She wasn’t the lest bit shy and …
Wine and Boiling Turkeys
Sometimes no matter what you do you are wrong. How do you find a Zen state with that suffering? But let’s move along then shall we? I wish I could like wine the right way, but I like wine the silly way. by how it tastes. I’ve spent quite a …
Drab dribs
I find myself getting the urge to just post “Hello, I’m still here and this is a post.” But I won’t. Exactly. I’m trying to reschedule the little happy hour thing we were going to do but canceled because of J’s mom’s injury. Only 6 more sleeps, as the Bean …
small things that likely make no difference
One of my favorite webcomics I guess you’d call it making fiends got a spot on nickelodeon! Em saw a bit of it, asked to see some more. I took her to the website and we watched a few. Rather immediately she said her favorite was Vendetta. Ah, apple and …
