Random Thoughts Edition.
I’ve got a ton of things rolling around in my head today, so I’m giving you bullet points.
• Yesterday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. MLK has always been my hero, and I have all my life been sad that I was born too late to actually see the man. Alison, [...]

Auntie gave me a printer/copier/scanner for Christmas, so now I don’t have to impose upon O’Mama’s generosity to scan things like the girls’ baby pictures, which were taken before we got a digital camera, or my most favorite Calvin and Hobbes strip:
Sadly, Flickr is being pissy this morning, so I can’t use it to format [...]

Ugh.
Someone I love and care for very much has a hard time doing things that are good for her; things she KNOWS she ought to do (or, more to the point, not doing things she knows she ought not to do).
I’m finding it difficult to tread the line between being a supportive friend who lets [...]

For my birthday, I was gifted with a pair of certificates; Kizz gave me an Amazon gift card and Mr. Chili gave me a pass to buy some stuff at iTunes.
After almost a week of consideration, I’ve decided what I’m going to get myself from Amazon. I’ve had my eye on the Indiana Jones [...]

Pun intended.
I have a yoga class to lead at 10:15 this morning, and I’m approaching it with a healthy helping of trepidation.
I’m still not completely well. I am moving about much better than I was four days ago, to be sure; I don’t have to crawl up the stairs anymore and I can turn over [...]

A couple of my blogging friends, who happen to reside in more southern climes, have made mention lately of the way their regions handle snow (or, in Bo’s case, the way they DON’T handle snow. A town without a plow! Can you IMAGINE?!).
For these friends, I’m posting pictures I took literally five minutes [...]

While I’m celebrating a birthday, someone I care about is mourning a loss. Please go on over to California Teacher Guy’s blog page and offer him condolences for the death of his father, who passed away this morning.
And if I go while you’re still here…
Know that I still live on,
Vibrating to a different measure

The Birthday Edition.
Today is my birthday. I will have completed 39 laps around the sun as of 10:15 this morning and, if it weren’t for the fact that my back is still not right, I’d be feeling pretty good about today. My 30s have been, all in all, pretty damned great, and I’ve [...]

Mrs. Chili is in need of some comfort, Dear Readers, and she’ll get it any way she can get it.
This morning, Mr. Chili kindly lifted the Crock Pot from its cabinet and plugged it in for me. I measured out a cup of cream and three cups of milk, a tad more than a quarter [...]
