This is more personal than I usually get on here.  Normally, since this site is sitting on the Internet where anyone can see it, I prefer to keep things somewhat casual. With the class reunion on my mind lately, something else has been on my mind too. It’s been bothering me for the last 8 years [...]

Just a really short post tonight, my future geek is cranky and not wanting me to be typing at all.  Guess it’s time to eat and go to bed — he is after all 3 months LOL I’ve started contacting old friends from high school though Facebook.  I tried on MySpace, but it was just [...]

When I was a senior in high school, my English teacher published a book titled “No Place But Here” about teaching in rural Vermont.  (Yea, I grew up in rural Vermont, farming country.  The population of cows was higher than the population of humans in the county I lived in. ) His book is funny, [...]

I’m writing this tonight with my future geek sitting on my lap.  He wants to be held and the only way I can manage that tonight is to sit him on my lap looking at the computer.  He’s starting to get fussy though, so this is a quick post. I’ve been doing more looking at [...]

Just a few notes tonight while I’m trying to wind down.  I haven’t been posting much, but that’s partially the joy and pain of having a newborn around.  I’ve also been swamped between writing assignments for the company I write for and going back to work.  And my laptop has been down for the count, [...]

Just a few random things tonight.  The day after Christmas… I meant to post a Merry Christmas yesterday, but I was trying to finish a writing assignment a bit early.  Since I couldn’t find any information online, I was getting frustrated.  I have a new article posted at Associated Content.  You can click here (opens [...]

Or maybe not.  So this morning, I sent my 17 year old son for his annual visit to his dad’s in Vermont.  He had 2 layovers, but since he was leaving out of Oklahoma City, it made sense.  Yea, ok.  First, the plane sat at the gate after they boarded everyone.  I couldn’t find anyone [...]

Ok, so I’ve been annoying my husband and son.  Since I’m not in the mood for Christmas, I’ve been trying to watch Christmas specials to find the Christmas spirit.  They would rather not watch all of the Santa Clause movies… I’m trying to figure out where I can watch the Rankin/Bass movies that we watched [...]
