Settling In…Sort Of…

You can’t really tell in the picture of the kitchen-in-progress that I posted below, but I’ve already kinda-sorta started settling in.
Many many years ago Claudia, mother of my heart, gave me this beautiful sculpture she’d created. It’s something I’ve always loved and is one of my most treasured material possessions. When Husband installed [...]

Picture Requests

My last post generated two requests for pictures. Here they are:
Claudia, here’s the kitchen as it appears on Tuesday, February 28th, at 8:30 in the morning.

Oh, How I MISS It!!!

I spent the better part of yesterday at WeedWoman’s house in the boonies. Just to give you an idea of the relative isolation, one of the “tourist” spots in her general area is (and I’m not making this up here) a STOVE MUSEUM. I’m thinking we’ll have to go at some point, just [...]

The Plight of the iPod-less

So, the other day, I was coming home from a class when the battery in my new iPod fizzled out (note to self - buy a damned car charger!!).
Have you seen Jerry Maguire? Remember the scene where Jerry is driving back from the Cushman’s after having just sealed their deal, and he’s in [...]

These are the People Running Our Country

I’m just beside myself.
But wait! It gets BETTER!! Go here and read the article. Note the sublime eloquence of Cheney’s spokeswoman. Yessir!
Just when I think I couldn’t be more embarrassed to be an American…
