Don’t Hate Me. . .

Blame Audrey for this one. It’s a video from a band out of Ann Arbor, Michigan. It’s truly bizarre, but in a catchy way. I can’t get the darn thing out of my head. This banana for you. . .

When Last We Left,

Alison was baking like mad. Heh. The concert on Thursday was excellent. These kids are very talented young musicians, and we were treated to a real variety of music. The jazz band played some excellent numbers and gave several kids opportunities to show their improvisational skills. They broke out the handbells for a few pieces, [...]

More Kittehs!

So these two pretty babies came to me needing some one-on-one because they were so skittish still. I can’t take a lot of cats, because the rest of the household would strongly object, but a couple at a time works out fine. Get ready. . . AWWW! They are going to their new home on [...]

Baking, Baking, Baking. . .

I won’t go into details, but I can’t really leave the house today. Tomorrow was going to be a baking day, because we have a band concert and a marching band event coming up this week that I promised baked goods for (yes, I know that was bad sentence construction. . .). Well, since I’m [...]

Time to Update Phones

Ah, off to the mall. Thank goodness hubby did all the numbers work so we know which store to shop in for the proprietary phone that can’t possibly work with any other wireless service so don’t even try! Next I think we’ll have to get the signal booster that mounts on the roof so we [...]

Snow Day!!!

When I looked out and saw snow, I thought with dread that we’d have one of those stupid delayed openings for school. It’s one thing when a delay gives the town time to clear the roads, quite another when the snowfall clearly has a long way to go before it lets up. Thank goodness they [...]

Let me be Vague.

I hardly slept at all last night. It has been a very, very long time since something has bothered me enough that it kept me awake and ruminating. I received correspondence accusing me of malicious (and in one case, illegal) acts. It was in the form of a Cease-And-Desist letter, and I knew it would [...]

Holding Things in Check

You know, despite all the therapy, medication, introspection, and self analysis, despite being older and wiser and having had all kinds of experience with all kinds of people, I still get these visceral reactions to certain things. While being told something that gets me defensive and angry still causes a physical reaction as well, I [...]

You Can’t Disagree with What You Don’t Understand

Here’s a little story I threw together this morning to put you in the right frame of mind. Imagine this: Cousin Angus is visiting his U.S. relatives from Scotland. One day he tells his little American cousin Mary that she’s very twee. Being young and sensitive, she runs away in tears and tells her mother [...]
