Well, I’m in the new house now.  I was without internet for awhile, thanks to a veritible cluster-fuck of things that went wrong (and thank you, by the way, to the dear cable company for that TEN hour window they gave me for when the cable man would arrive.  TEN. HOUR. WINDOW.  Yes, THAT is the epitome of fine scheduling.  They could only have been more vague if they refused to speak anything but Cantonese when I made the call.  And even that?  Is a close thing.), but am now back in action.  Yay, me!

I have entirely too much to do today (most of which revolves around spending money.  I’m pretty over the whole expense of moving thing.  It’s beginning to take a toll on my sanity (I now walk in small circles and mutter a lot.  And my eyes cross.) but I think I’m beginning to see the dim promise of a light at the end of the tunnel.  When I get to it? 

I’m going to SCREAM. (more…)

I made it through another week.  And managed not to post about the Disney trip like I said I would, either.  Well, things have been happening at an astounding pace, so I’m not going to apologize… I’m just going to sedate myself and curl into the fetal position.  And, really, isn’t that what life’s all about?

So I’m still supposed to close on the house the 25th.  Assuming, that is, that I’m not locked up by then for some pesky homicide charges.

WHAT?!?! (more…)

Yeah, I know, I know… it’s been two weeks since I posted last.  We all know that I’ve gone from a three-times-weekly poster to a will-post-when-compelled-by-threat-of-violence poster.  Accept this and stop STARING at me, for the love of GOD! 

Want to hear about Disneyworld? (more…)

Or at least pretend to.  Those of you that feared for my sanity will be pleased to note that I have reconsidered my original position and am no longer throwing myself in front of the home-building bus.  I am, instead, going to buy a home that was just built.  Saves wear and tear on my emotional/mental state.

And keeps me from having to shoot someone. (more…)

Yeah, today’s my birthday.

I’m officially old as dirt. (more…)

Well, one of us has an appointment today with a therapist.  Guess which one? 

(…)

Oh, now, that was just too easy. (more…)

I’ve now had the flu for a week.  A week.  That’s like nine months in flu years.  It sucks long.  The fever, the fatigue, the nose that wants to fall off after the six millionth time blowing it… it’s festive!  And you know what makes it even better?

When your nine year old gets it, too. (more…)

The world outside is buried in crystalline white.  There’s a quiet that comes with the snow that is impossible to equate to a mere lack of the usual noise… it’s like a sound vacuum, an absolute stillness that makes you feel like the entire world is actually only in your head.  I love the snow.

Pretty fucking ironic when you take into account the fact that I hate cold weather. (more…)

When it rains, it pours.  Or, if one lives in the heart of Tornado Alley, when it pours, high velocity winds come down like the wrath of God and tear down your privacy fence.

And then your heater goes out.  Just for fun. (more…)

I just, for the first time in EONS, posted new pictures on the Fllickr site that I generally neglect beyond all recognition.

In case any of y’all are interested.

Oh, whatever.  I’ll write more this weekend. 

Phhhttttt.
