Go on over and wish my good friend, Chelle a very happy birthday! She’s celebrating her 29th birthday for the 4th year in a row – – but don’t tell her I said that. After knowing her for what seems like forever, online (really – it’s about a year…but that’s only after we found out that our shadows crossed each other several times via the internet over the years) – – Chelle is opening her home and inviting Chris and I in for a home cooked meal Friday night when I’m in Atlanta!! I can’t wait to give her a […]

To all those hard working Father’s out there today – – I’m hoping you had a fabulous day! My father is currently in Iowa, at the moment. My mother bought him a hot air balloon ride and they should be finished sailing down the river. Up, up and away…… Happy Father’s Day, Dad! I gave Chris a Father’s Day card today. He’s not a biological father to anyone – – however, in the three years that he and I have been together, most especially in the last year that he has lived here, he has been more a father to […]

Hell hath frozen over! 🙂

I attended my sons graduation ceremony last night (from 8th grade – I’m not THAT old!). It was a proud moment for everyone. Today, his class is going to Great America to celebrate their last day of Middle School. It was SO hot in that gymnasium. I swear it was well over 100 degrees in there. What? No air conditioning in public schools? I’m sure, somehow, that is Bush’s fault. My Mom, Dad, my daughter and myself all sat together – fanning ourselves. It’s worth noting that his father was a no-show. He didn’t even call. Bastard. The principal talked […]

My daughter took FIRST PLACE in her talent show last night. She’s got herself a big ol’ blue ribbon for first place. There were 30 kids who participated….and she brought the house down with her singing. I watched her sing last night – – and had to hold back the tears, so I didn’t embarrass the poor girl. She got a standing ovation from the crowd of about 150. I was just mesmerized watching and listening to her. She nailed every note strong and confidently. I don’t remember being that confident at the age of 12. I was simply beaming […]

Busy day that is almost ending…believe it or not. I think I’m going to have to pick and post the top three captions to my Captions, Please? post that I made earlier – – you guys have some funny shit, I’m tellin’ ya. I already have my top caption in mind – – but I’ll keep it going for another day and post my absolute top three favorites tomorrow evening…maybe someone will outdo my current fav? Spent the evening glued to my computer — doing some upgrades for some folks, and setting up services for a new hosting client. Let’s […]

It’s not often that I’m home alone. Chris is gone. The kids are gone. It’s just me and the two cats inhabiting the household. It amazes me how very quiet this house can be! During the day – I loved it. At night, it’s beginning to feel rather lonesome. I was up early today and mowed the lawn – then got the stupid idea in my head to hand rake it. Doesn’t sound so bad, you say? You try hand raking 2 acres of lawn, then we’ll talk. Worked a little bit on some web work and web hosting details. […]
