Thanks to Holly’s Birthday Present post, I wandered over and created an account on Twitter. Lord only knows why. Holly’s Birthday Bash idea is genius, but I already have all her clinics, etc, so that wasn’t reason enough to sign up. Ah well, if you’re interested, feel free to follow … Continue reading →
Carpal Tunnel Beginnings
I’ve been waking up in the morning (and sometimes during the night) with numb and tingling hands and fingers. According to my mom (who recently had surgery in both hands to correct this) and what I’ve been reading, this is a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome. As much as I … Continue reading →
Z9
Last summer, Hubby’s cell phone took an unexpected dip in a stream. The wonder was that it recovered after about two or three days of drying out. This morning, the screen died, and we decided three years was pushing our luck, so we wandered back to the AT&T store today, … Continue reading →
We Found the Internet
We’ve been thinking about this for awhile, but since we’re preparing to be away from home for possibly most of the next three months, we thought this would be a good time to spring for it. I headed to my favorite ATT Store this morning and picked up an ATT … Continue reading →
Trip Preparation
We got up to light rain this morning. I’m glad we got all the tree branches out yesterday. It sunned up around ten, so I vacuumed the bed of the truck. I have a cap and BedRug on the bed. We’d been hauling dogs, rocks, and firewood in the back, … Continue reading →

Fifth Grade Fights
It dawned upon me yesterday while reviewing How to Think Sideways materials that my Muse and I are at about the fifth grade level. Back in fifth grade, there were lots of schoolyard fights — usually about stupid stuff. In an earlier lesson, we were to generate three story ideas … Continue reading →
Kindle and Its Ilk
I read a blog post yesterday morning extolling the virtues of Amazon’s Kindle. Intrigued, I clicked over to Amazon and began reading. I was nearly convinced. I flipped over to Sony’s site to read about their device — the Reader Digital Book. The Sony comes (if purchased before September 20, … Continue reading →
Current Reading List
I picked up two more books in the past two days, but here’s what’s on the nightstand now: Failure is not An Option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond by Gene Kranz. I’ve met Mr. Kranz and was fortunate enough to get a personalized, autographed copy of … Continue reading →
Feline Firsts
Yes, I am amazed. For the first time, we have all three felines in the garden window at the same time, and nobody is fussing: As you can tell, the lines of demarcation are getting a little closer together. If you can’t guess, Natasha is on the right side. … Continue reading →
