Stupid, stupid back. Or stoopid, stoopid owner of a tricksy back. Either way.
I had a spasm the likes of which have not been felt since, oh, um 4 years ago, when said stoopid back decided to let me know it didn’t dig the daily 4 hour driving time and 8+ hours of sitting at a [...]
Yep, I got me a shiner. Only, on the chin.
Today, I got in a fight with a bungee cord and lost. (This is probably proof that I should pay more attention-slow down-quit trying to do 10 things at once, or, that I am just very, very clumsy.) Because I am very classy and haul a [...]
Halloween ended with my kids coming into possession of more candy than they can ever possibly eat and me not blowing chunks. Yeah!
Ozzie, the Indian brave. Excuse me, Native American brave. Er, indigenous peoples brave?
Ivy, showing off some Pikachu tail.
Hope you had a good one!
I woke up at 2:30 am feelin funny. Not good funny, hot and cold funny, scratchy throat and rumbly stomach funny. And then I threw up. So, yay, I’ve got the flu. No fairie costume for me. No trick or treat. And I have a midterm Tuesday, so if I’m laying around I really feel [...]
Ivy has amassed quite a collection of makeup supplies lately. A couple of the homes we’ve cleaned out had all kinds of Mary Kay and Avon makeup samples in them, clean and sealed, so I let her have some of them. She has a special box, full of her jewelry and makeup.

Often while sacrificing my own feelings. Somehow, I just end [...]
Sunday I had the bright idea to try and sort all of my neglected flower beds out in the space of a single day. (Note to self: Plant something that doesn’t require weeding.) And so, for the first time in several months, I am having back spasms. I almost forgot how much those suck.
Luckily, I [...]
My dad just called to let me know my Great-Grandma Dora passed away. While I’m sad for our family I am glad she’s at peace now and not trapped in her body anymore. Last week I stopped by to visit her and she smiled at me and I couldn’t help but exclaim “There’s Grandma!”. She [...]
I think I may apply for the nursing program at school. Actually at the two schools in my area that offer an RN program… since both have a pretty packed waiting list and determine placement based on grades, test scores and random luck, I figured I should apply to both and get into whichever lets [...]
Saturday morning I was puttering around in the garden when I heard a terrible hissing noise and found one of my cats engaged in mortal combat with, of all things, a hamster. A hamster who had obviously seen better days, as one eye was swollen shut and half of an ear was torn off. I [...]
