Drive Me Crazy

Nothing turns me into a snarling, growling, epithet-hurling harpy faster than bad and/or rude driving.  I grew up and learned to drive in Atlanta from the inching-across-town on the “connector” days to the days of Spaghetti and Malfunction junctions.  If you’ve ever driven in Atlanta, you will know what I mean.  A trip to LA [...]

Disaster Magnets

Have you ever noticed how some people just are? No matter what they do, “stuff” just happens to them. They don’t seem to want it, they always say they want the opposite of what happens, yet it continues to happen. Specifically, I’m thinking about my daughter and cars. In the 11 years that she’s been [...]

Undecided

The “undecided” in the title reflects my inability to properly title this piece. I feel scattered in about a thousand different directions. Monday, G came home with a new car. A 2011 Subaru Forester.  A lovely car, a BEAUTIFUL car. I drove her to Denver in it yesterday and it’s a dream. She traded in [...]

Another Whirlwind

G. got a new computer this week with a 1 TERABYTE hard drive and 8 Gigabytes of memory.  I am envious, as I cannot upgrade my computer because my work platform won’t work with Vista or Windows 7.  So, I am going to upgrade my memory, but it sure won’t be 8 gigs!  She also [...]

Some Days Really Are…

…perfect. Today was one of them. We actually slept until around 7 am, which is late for us (especially me!). Thanks to a Benadryl I had to take in the middle of the night for my damned itching, but it worked, at least. I didn’t scratch myself raw in the night. So, the sun was [...]

I Can’t Even Begin To Describe It

Yesterday, I took daughter to work again. As I’ve discussed here before, I really hate daylight savings time, but I think maybe I’m coming to terms with it. Since it started SO early this year, it was still in that “transition” period which happens in March, where suddenly the morning light is coming back and [...]

Drive Me Crazy

That song from Fine Young Cannibals has been running through my mind all day. Why? Well, let’s see….I got up at 5:00 a.m. today, tried to get a little work done, but found out that I had a problem with some of the sound files I had gotten and that my usual player would not [...]

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like….

Snow!! After getting about 7″ this weekend (see above photo), it started really snowing again this morning right around the time the boys showed up. I already knew the daycare was not doing bus runs to school, so the boys stayed about another hour and then I was off like a herd of turtles. I [...]

Grumpy’s Back!!!

Hello, anyone out there who might be reading. Well, I’m back from Spain. Actually, I’ve been back for a month now, since October 1. My feet just flat gave out on me, and I was in such pain from walking–not blisters, but pain every time I set my feet down–that I knew I had to [...]
