Queen of Rambles

There is no rest for the weary over here. I am compelled to get all the pictures edited, captioned, uploaded and ready for public consumption Right Now. I can’t stand having unshared photos. It’s an addiction or compulsion or something Not Good. I also seem compelled to use inappropriate capitalizations. Have [...]

We made it back! It was actually a really easy trip despite a big delay in Tulsa. We didn’t think we’d make our connecting flight, but instead of a two hour flight time we were only in the air for an hour and twenty minutes so we landed, jumped on the next plane, [...]

Perhaps you’re a little too obsessed with Battlestar Galactica when you no longer threaten to throw your kid off the balcony. Instead you threaten to space him. He’s not going to have any issues at all growing up. At least none that a good counseling session with a cylon can’t cure.
My to-do [...]

Tonight calls for a quick entry because I’m in super-turbo mode and can’t stop until my to-do list is complete. Thanks to Robert I didn’t have to agonize over a PhotoShop project. I made a seriously crappy invite for my grandma’s 80th birthday party but I suspect I’m the only who will realize [...]

One day of craziness done. As you may have guessed, I barely scratched the surface of my to-do lists. I was felled by the cold from hell and don’t even feel guilty. It helped that our visitors’ plans changed and changed and changed and then changed some more. In the end they [...]

I am very irked right now. The maintenance man told me he would be back at 9 am sharp to finish re-tiling the shower. I got up early just to make sure my private bits were covered. It’s almost 11 and he still hasn’t shown his face.
ARGH!
Anyway, on to the real meat [...]

Why is it when you are so tired that you’re shaking and dizzy and start to repeat words over and over and wonder what they mean (I can’t be the only one who finds words lose all meaning can I?) you can’t go to sleep?
Erik was a good boy last night. He screamed through [...]

Ears aren’t infected. I figured as much, but since everyone always says “get the ears checked, get the ears checked!” I did. We did get an inhaler for his cough and boy oh boy is that fun to administer. The nurse and I did it in the office. I think Mike and I [...]

You may have noticed my lack of postage last night. It is my habit to snuggle up with my laptop after Erik falls asleep and take care of e-mail, write a journal entry and stare blindly at any interesting web page I can find until I sink into sleep at 11 pm.
Last [...]

I don’t have much to say tonight, so I’ll leave you with a video of the crazy baby instead. He was feeling pretty feisty this evening so I tried to record his favorite activity–flinging himself backwards. It’s not easy to video him because he really wants the camera. I guess you get the [...]
