Last minute woes Today was a good day, at least for a while. I found my missing (two months!) DDR game, and dinner got compliments, and my adventures in digital scrapbooking were successful, so when I took Ben to TaeK…
Off track With Gordon at home, I've been tackling a few things that I needed to do that I just didn't have the muscle for, like changing the light fixture in the hall, and clearing out the basement. These are two-man …
Things you don't want to come home to Today, I had a few things planned. I had a bible study group that I attend Wednesday mornings, plus I needed to go get an oil change, and if I could, grab some groceries. It st…
Cowardice with Elegance That's a funny title, isn't it? It's the name of one of the alien attacks in Space Channel 5, a very silly game I bought for the Playstation 2. Since the game only uses directional buttons an…
Girl Scout cookie time! I went door to door down my street with Sophie selling cookies today. Girl Scout cookies are terribly easy to sell - everybody likes them and will buy them. The hard part is that these are my n…
Drip drip drip I wish I had RipariusCaninus's advice before we yanked those beds all apart, but what's done is done. Jim found a tiny slow drip on the seam, which is as we feared. The only solution for aq seam rupt…
Bed, continued I examined the mattresses last night, with no success. I can't see any that could be leaking. Jim has a few things he's liek to try, but he was way too tired to mess with it last night, so it may not …
Wet the bed (or vice versa) It's creepy when you are my age, and you wake up to find yourself in a puddle. It's not pleasant at any age, but I'm neither young enough nor infirm enough to be excused for such a lapse. …
In the birdhouse Tonight, Jim lead the Cub Scout den in building bird houses. He didn't remember it, but this is not the first time he's done that. He did it when Gordon was seven years old. At that time, I recal…
Phone home I went out to put some letters in the mailbox (yes, I do that on occasion), and found a cell phone siting on top of my mailbox. It didn't belong to anyone I knew, so I suppose one of the many walkers that co…
To share a cuppa joe Ben: Me want coffee (I think he thinks he's the Incredible Hulk) Me: I don't think there is any more in the pot. Would you like the rest of mine? Ben: Yes. (pauses and examines the cup) What side…
Cost-effective swimming I was taking semiprivate swim lessons last year, much to my own benefit, but this year the other woman studying with me dropped out, for reasons unknown. The aquatics director had said previousl…
Giving, but how? This tsunami disaster is so appalling, and it comes right at a time when everyone here is feeling fat and happy, so that it is a very natural thing to want to give. To that end, nearly every relief org…
Card photo In case you were wondering what photo I used for my card this year (click it to see it larger): From left: Ben, Gordon, Sophia, Jim, and Juliet
Whine whine carp carp (depressing blog, better to leave while you can) My mother has made her way completely around the hamster wheel. First she says that I complain too much, so then I only call her when I feel like …
