I’ve been grumpy, tired of Jake’s recovery.  I know that’s mean, he’s the one in pain, but now two weeks into it, I’m getting a little irritated.
I’m so irritated that when doing errands yesterday I saw a woman come out of a liquor store under the weight of a box of booze.  NOt a box [...]

This season of AI has been disappointing in a lot of ways.
Not in terms of the top three girls, but overall the season’s lacked drama–the Sanjaya thing didn’t grab me either way.
LaKisha, Melinda, and Jordon are fantastic, but the others pale in their presence.  I didn’t always agree with prior years’ standings, I’ve always had [...]

As you well know, periodically I’m sucked into YouTube–thanks Jaye Wells–and then I end up wasting untold hours, I mean minutes, watching useless though very funny stuff. I can’t resist piggy-backing on Jaye’s video choice.  It’s Will Farrell and his real life friend clowning around with the friend’s one year old daughter.  It’s called The Landlord.  [...]

I sort of am.
I’m a sucker for a sale.  I married a salesman afterall.
My poor roommates in Maryland had to suffer my inability to say no to Mormons and anyone else who came to the door. 
Upon opening the door, had I made instantaneous identification of person as salesman or preacher and slammed the door, my [...]

Okay, this is very weird.
There’s a bird–very pretty in its fluffy brown, mocha, and tan feathers and piercing red beak.  But, for the past few days it’s been ramming itself into two windows on opposite sides of the house.
And it watches me watch it do that as though very normal behavior for both of us.
Today, in major [...]

Okay,
These five days post-op have thrust me directly back into newborn baby mode.
Not me as newborn baby, though I might have shed a tear or two in complete horror at Jake’s insane screaming while attempting to jump out of the bed while still completely sedated–not asleep, but not in the there and then, either.
You know [...]

Hi guys,
I’m checking in really fast and I apologize again for not going to everyone’s sites.  I will just as soon as the smoke clears.
The tonsilectomy went fine, but the anesthesia made Jake insane coming out of surgery.  Like straightjacket material.  Weirdest thing I ‘ve ever seen…I’ll do a real post on that soon.  And [...]

Hi everyone.  Thanks so much for all the congrats on the award.
I’ll post a bit here and there the next few days, but my son Jake is having his tonsils removed tomorrow and this promises to be a memorable experience.  Either he’ll shock the hell out of me and have somehow borrowed someone elses pain [...]

 

The brutally honest and extraordinary, snappy writer, Jaye Wells, shocked me this morning by including me in her list of awardees for the Thinking Blogger Awards.
 
Jaye said:
“Kathie makes me laugh out loud. She is responsible for making me rethink my choice in underpants. She’s also a damned good writer. If we were sisters, she’d be the smart [...]

Well, the US Open is headed to Oakmont in a little over two months and things are heating up.  Yes, it’s snowing with windchills in the teens, but people in my little hamlet are letting it all hang out in the hopes that Tiger, Phil, or some other rich dude will plunk down cold hard [...]
