• Back for Sanity

  April 3, 2020

  I don't really even know what to say, aside from I'm tired, cranky, irritable, getting a bit emotionally overwhelmed to the point of near numbness - intellectually I'm terrified of this virus, emotionally I'm so drained I'm only really feeling it in spurts. Distance learning is tough, the kids do...

• Title?

  May 7, 2018

  Wow.  I was pregnant with Speck when last we spoke. Speck starts kindergarten in the fall.  He'll be 5 on May 29th (and is, in fact, a he.) Took me forever to get back in here, I don't have the old email address and apparently I've used more passwords than I thought...spend the other night…

• I won’t talk about it

  December 14, 2012

  because it's everywhere.  Too close to home.  I will say that now, more than ever, pray for peace. Other things though - Massages are wonderful.  One of my good friends is a massage therapist and certified in prenatal massage.  She came over today and worked her magic, and for...

• Yearly Entry Time

  December 12, 2012

  Maybe I'll write more often, but honestly, no breath holding, okay?  I don't want anyone passing out while waiting, and while I feel like I *should* have tons more time for things like journaling, it doesn't ever seem to work that way. Let's start with news...It's literally been a year, yike...

  Yesterday at MommyD's work, the Bagel Guy (who handles part of the mailing list, he's an outside consultant from upstate NY and comes in 1-2x/mo) came in, informed everyone that while OCdam will retain ownership of Turtle Creek, he will no longer be in.  He then proceeded to fire the COO (wh...

• R.I.P. Common Sense (stolen w/permission)

  October 15, 2011

  Stolen from SUSAN WEST.  Thanks Susan! Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense. Who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated ...

• I like meat

  October 12, 2011

  Let that be known, right from the get go.  I like cheeseburgers, steak, chicken, turkey (I'm drooling thinking about Thanksgiving coming up), fishes, duck, bacon, and most other tastey animals.  If you do not, don't read on.  Just stop now.  PETA, in my book stands, for &...

• #WardingOffVampires

  October 11, 2011

  That was my "tweet" on Saturday.  Went to the local Garlic and Harvest Festival Saturday, it was a blast!  I can honestly say I was more excited about it than I have been recently about amusement parks or fairs. When Dread Pirate and I started seeing each other* I wa...

• Weekend? What weekend?

  October 2, 2011

  And it's Monday again.  Where did the weekend go?  Oh right, on Saturday I had to drive up to deliver orders then stopped at my Mom's and argued with Dread Pirate over stopping at my Mom's (he felt that I should have sensed that he didn't go out for the day and gone home instead…
