In the 70’s and early 80’s, there was a very serious movement against the rash of rampant kidnappings. On a national level, from that era people probably most remember the tragic story of Steven Stayner, the boy who was kidnapped at age seven and turned up again as a sixteen year old. Though he was […]
I really am. I used to sing pretty well–no promises now–so I LOVE karaoke. I just don’t love singing in front of everyone much. Have to work to tune them out. It seems the babies love my addiction, though, because last night, we found a Singstar game with mikes on clearance for 15 bucks! I […]
I admit it. I kill crickets. I hunt them down. I threaten them. I kick at them and I yell. And as of this morning, I’ve killed 4 of the little bastids. Unrepentantly. Die, cricket. Die. Now, I know, some folks think it’s good luck or heartwarming to have a cricket in your house. I […]
I’m not sure what’s up with me. I need to write. I WANT to write. But the moment an opportunity comes up–however rare–I can’t seem to drag myself to the word program. Even to edit. Oh, darn you excellent procrastinating skills! But on the upside, I did a whole bunch of laundry! What are you […]

Sister Pet is visiting with me while Hubby heads off on business trip to NYC. We have plans to play “Deadspace”–Gory space game where the dead bodies get turned into alien zombie monsters, muy cool–and a whole blender full of margaritas. The real problem will be getting the house clean before hubby gets back. So, […]
Yeah, you’re probably wondering… “She left?”, since I’ve been a suckish blogger. What happened was that my power cord literally popped from the inside and I couldn’t get in to replace it until last night. I can’t TELL you how much I’ve missed my computer, lol. Even better, cord was under warranty and so I […]
I try to think of myself as a patient, reasonably thinking person. (Hubby might disagree with this, but we’re talking MY POV) I do my best to be circumspect about most things, because getting all blustery about stuff just wastes energy and might get in the way of a solution. But some days, you just […]
