This afternoon marks the end of DS2’s 15th trip around this old sun of ours. 15 times I’ve watched the seasons change with him.
He’s at that gangley goofy puppy-man stage where he and his friends’ voices are changed or changing but they still talk and giggle all night at fart jokes (and probably sex [...]
Some of the things that made me smile this week:
Having DS1 be decisive after the college recruiter/admissions officer presentation. He doesn’t want to go there, but I LOVED that he knew it and said it.
Watching my boy have his senior pictures taken.
Not having to stress out on Sunday because my approval essay was already finished [...]
Your result for The Who Would You Be in 1400 AD Test…
The Prioress
You are a moral person and are also highly intellectual. You like your solitude but are also kind and helpful to those around you. Guided by a belief in the goodness of mankind you will likely be christened a saint after your life [...]
So, it turns out this tension/lack of caffeine headache with nausea I’ve been fighting all day is probably actually some sort of gastrointestinal bug.
I say that based on the way my gastrointestines are reacting to dinner. (I’m making the huge leap of faith that it is NOT the debate that is making me feel [...]
Ok. Maybe not the most “dance-able” 70’s tune. Still, it’s been going through my head for a couple of weeks (for some unknown reason) and today, at the coffee shop, I see an article about Joe and the Boys (a.k.a. The Eagles.)
I dial up the YouTube this afternoon and asked DS1 (a.k.a. mono-boy) if he [...]
The varsity soccer team is all sick. At least one of them (possibly two) have Mono.
DS1 has been dragging and complaining of "feeling like crap" for a couple of days. I thought it was a cold or the crud that’s been going around. Until I heard about the mono yesterday at the JV game.
I’ve [...]
Given the economic news, I think I’m glad I know how to make clothes, make soup and can food over an open fire.
Don’t worry. I still don’t care for cleaning.

My boss LN, met with his (our) new boss this afternoon. The meeting invitation said something like "I want to go over budgets with you. I met with CEO this morning and need to examine job duties for future state."
So, as you (and I) guessed, he came back from the meeting with interesting information. New [...]
It started raining around 6:30 this morning. My muscles are sore from yesterday. I suppose that means it’s all working, but I’ll be honest and say I wish the numbers changed faster. I feel stronger and have more muscle in places I never thought I’d have muscle, but I want the pad of fat below [...]
Background: I was chosen last for kick-ball, and anything else that required picking teams.
When we played bombardament and dodgeball I was a target, not a teammate.
I was smallest and although I was champion skipper in kindergarten, I was the slowest because my legs were short.
I can still walk under a volley-ball net without stooping.
Gym was [...]
