Tuesday, the electrician and the plumber showed up. Once they were settled in (hubby was working from home that day) I took the kids to popcorn park zoo. It was a nice trip, the animals seemed well cared for, and the kids had a great time feeding them, especially the bears, who were crazy about [...]

So, Friday both the kids had sleepover parties to attend. Hubby and I broke out the movies we couldn’t watch with them. First we watched “Monster”, the movie with Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci, about serial killer Aileen Wuornos. It was a pretty darned good movie, and Theron had a lot of guts to look [...]
So the Zurlos came down with the Snellen kids in tow, and hubby took them off to the beach while I headed downtown to take my Oral Proficiency Test in Spanish. I met them afterwards. The water was cold, which kept the adults out, but didn’t deter the kids. We ate terribly unhealthy boardwalk food [...]
Carolyn came in this morning from the back yard, insisting that I had to rescue the fish that were caught in the pond plants. Sure enough, they weren’t caught, they were laying eggs. Looks like Eric is a girl fish. It’s funny to watch. Dennis pokes Eric around the pond. Bruce is in hot pursuit, [...]

I wonder – what motivates a person to assume the room was dead before they entered, or perhaps that it’s full of bored people waiting for strangers to come and engage them in conversation, hoping beyond all hope that someone [...]
Just had to share a couple of fun things that showed up in my game. . . Trinni Viska got a little turned around here. Sastina has fallen asleep standing, stinks to high heaven, desperately needs to go to the bathroom, and is as uncomfortable as she can possibly be, but her husband Kwando [...]
Hyperemotional. Maybe it’s a paxil withdrawal thing. Maybe it’s hormones. Maybe it’s the old ADD emotions finally set free from Paxil. Whatever, I could do with a lot fewer days when tears are the first reaction to any setback. Too old for that shit. As they say. At least the guy at the Toyota dealership [...]
OK, so when we got the trees taken down, I asked the tree guys to leave the chips for mulch. then they asked me if I wanted more, and I said yes. this was a good thing until I threw my back out, and I was left with scraggly gardens and a huge pile of [...]
I have to pat myself on the back here – I’ve done a lot of landscaping changes without spending money, just moving plants around. It helps to have been gardening long enough to know which plants can be hacked apart to make new ones, and which ones make roots from cuttings. . .all that stuff. [...]
