Just Dance

I'm watching So You Think You Can Dance right now. Mark went to the garage, and for reasons that only he will ever understand, he's taken the remote with him. So I sat, dreading the time until the big dope came back and gave me the Magic TV Stick. But despite my efforts to be annoyed with all things... Sign in to see full entry.

Poking the Bear

Justi posted recently about boredom on blogit. She talked about how some people read a blog and take it personally, or use the subject to pick a fight. And that really got me thinking, about how writing is such a personal experience, and reading is just the same. For example: I sent my manuscript to... Sign in to see full entry.

An ongoing date with the mail man

Oh brother, has it really been 6 whole days since my last post? Time really does fly when you're having fun. And yes, I've certainly been having a good time. Time well wasted, you might say. I think I mentioned that Mark got me a new game for my birthday--that's where the blogging absence started.... Sign in to see full entry.

Worried to the point of distraction

I've just gotten through catching up on some reading, and I find myself sitting here, staring at the monitor with a very heavy heart. I had a story to tell you, but I can't remember what it was about. I was going to say thanks for the calling cards, but that seems like a terribly inconsequential... Sign in to see full entry.

Quickie from Sira Land

Saturday was my birthday, and the celebrating went on for 3 days, so it was pretty hectic! Not much time for blogging, although I've been missing you all! The birthday fun started on Friday, with a girls night of movies, chattering and junk food. Mark was nice enough to vacate the house, so we could... Sign in to see full entry.

2 fathers, 2 horrible doctors, 2 reasons to worry

My dad needs new hips. It's not an uncommon procedure, but the doc's were surprised at the amount of damage to his joints--usually, they only see this type of stuff in people in their 70's (my dad isn't even 60 yet...). But he spent the first half of his life working hard labor jobs. He pounded... Sign in to see full entry.

Unpredictable Flavor Adventures

Mark and I had pizza for dinner last evening, because Mother Nature rained on our parade. Quite literally, actually. We'd planned a nice outdoor BBQ with the downstairs neighbor and a couple of buddies. Sort of a mid-week outdoor bash, if you will. A chance to Ring in the Spring, and have a few...

404 days, and counting

First, a bit of good news--as of yesterday, my car loan is officially Paid Off In Full! It's the first substantial loan I've ever had, and I take great pride in knowing that I paid it off early, without missing even one payment. My bank even called to congratulate me, which initially seemed like a... Sign in to see full entry.

Grand plans, gone horribly awry

First of all--thanks for all the great comments on my last post! I was rather taken aback by a couple of things: First, I was surprised at the number of people who showed anger at the neighbor who stopped by to say thanks. I suppose it's a sign of the times, that I didn't expect him to jump in, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Poo on my shoe

We have new neighbors, and they have 2 dogs. Big, Newfoundland dogs. For reasons that I'll never really understand, these people seem to have gotten the impression that it is perfectly alright to let these mammoth dogs roam free. No leash, no fences; nothing. The dogs ramble up and down the block at... Sign in to see full entry.
