I Can Hardly Wait for Surgery.

A couple of months ago, I found a lump in my breast. I wasn’t really worried, because it was one that had already been identified (along with several hundred others) as a cyst – it was just a lot bigger than it used to be. So I pulled out the number for the place where [...]

Ugh – catching up.

Schools were closed for two days because of snow. Delayed opening for the high school for the next couple of days because of HSPA testing. Badly-needed dentist appointment missed because of snow, hair appointment missed because of lost track of time because of days off because of snow. Gotta reschedule those, have to schedule mammogram [...]

Here’s something fun:

See how well you do at putting colors in order of grade from one to another. I scored 16, which is pretty good, weaker in blues and greens than other colors, which I suspected. http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77

Something about Hacking.

We had what appeared to be an emergency last week, when one of the girls was told by someone she was IMing that he might have transmitted a virus to her that would completely wipe out her computer. There was much scrambling around for blank CDs to copy her files onto, hubby checked every possible [...]

Will it Work with Facebook?

I dunno. I’m trying out an app to see if it puts a note on my facebook page when I publish a new blog post. So this is a test. 1, 2, 3. . . You know the drill.

Oh, the things we do for our kids! Saturday was the day of the band competition hosted by our school. Lots to do, much rushing around, and of course I had made enough cookies to feed an army. I came into the school holding them in one large metal tray, and as I made my [...]

A Sad Way to Start a Birthday.

For the past several weeks, I’ve been nursing a couple of litters of kittens back to health, with varying degrees of success. The shelter released them to foster because they were scheduled to be euthanized, but had the potential to get healthy if they got the kind of one-on-one attention that a crowded, busy shelter [...]

Change of Life. . .

Well, not the kind you might be thinking. That, unfortunately, seems to be a long time in coming. Life, though, is changing. I didn’t realize how much the crap with Smart Carpet was stressing me out. I still have a bit left to go, because they pulled up the laminate floors and laid the carpet, [...]

Miscellaneous Stuff, I Guess.

I really wish I were better at long-term planning. A lot of the yard work I have to do could have been done in the fall or in Spring, instead of staring me in the face now shouting the accusation, “You have the sloppiest yard in the neighborhood! Everyone with nice yards hates what you’re [...]
