Lebanon is too far to go for a haircut!

I've had the same hairdresser for about 10 years now. She's a great lady. Never argues with me. Never tries to dye my hair crazy colors or style it in new and "trendy" ways. She just cuts it the way I like it, at just the right length, and lets me go on my merry little way. It's a great system! I've... Sign in to see full entry.

My Adventure in the Parking Lot

I went to the doctor yesterday, and the wait was pretty long. One glance at the waiting room had me scurrying back to the peace and quiet of my car - the place was full of hyper kids and neglegent parents. I got settled in with a good book and was all set to pass an hour reading, when there was a... Sign in to see full entry.

It's been a pretty quiet day today. Mark worked some overtime, came home long enough to say 'hi' and have dinner, then went out for a few beers with the boys. I got a lot of writing done, which is great. I even looked up the number for the local jail (turns out its a maximum security prison - who... Sign in to see full entry.

All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!

Last night, Mark asked me what I want for Christmas. This is a big step for him. The last 2 years, I've asked him if he wanted me to give him a list, and he said "no no, I already know what I'm going to get you - you're gonna love it!" The first gift was a home theater system. Sounds pretty cool,... Sign in to see full entry.

No time for blogging!

Wow - it's been a busy couple of days! My parents came for dinner, which meant a full day of house cleaning and cooking. Mom's a neat freak, so there was no way I could let her see the mess that I usually live in. Not that I'm a slob or anything - but the house tends to get...cluttered...especially...

Apparently, I'm the meanst person in the whole world!

I had to take my cat to the vet today. She's not sick or anything - it was just time for her yearly check-up and shots. I loaded her into the cat carrier without any trouble. She actually really likes the carrier. It's like a little kitten cave or hiding place or something. I took her out, buckled... Sign in to see full entry.

A Few Germs Never Killed Anyone!

There seems to be a lot of new products on the market, full of anti-bacterial and disinfectant chemicals. When I was a kid, people just used the normal cleaning products, and we all survived just fine. In fact, I think we're healthier because we were exposed to a few germs - it's made our immune...

Stupid Stinking SNOW!

I opened my front door to collect the paper today, and found snow all over my deck! I should have known this would happen - yesterday was the first time in a month I didn't put the car in the garage. Now, I have to go get the oil changed today, and that means I have to brush off the car! I can cope... Sign in to see full entry.

Sira's Land of Spookiness is under Construction!

Well, project Halloween has commenced! I've got all sorts of great decorations - my faves are the neat little skull lights, funky big foam tombstones, and, of course, the pumpkins. Mark even surprised me with a fancy pumpkin carving kit! I have pumpkins that look like vampires, really cool ghosts,... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't worry - I'm sure the prisoners are friendly!

I've been working on another novel for a while now, thinking and plotting and planning. I sat down to start the actual outline, and realized there was one major glitch in this particular story. The main character is in a maximum security prison. I've never been to prison. I might break the odd... Sign in to see full entry.
