No-Brainer, Amazon

Just when I thought I’d heard the worst, I read this post.  Now, the post itself is totally mind-numbing – that a game like this is made and sold – but the comments are unbelievably hateful – on the side of male gamers defending the game – and only seeing it as a game.
Basically, the [...]

Sometimes memory is a little off

Happy (I have a salt shaker – a cat – from the kitchen table)
My sister sent me some pictures my Mom wanted me to have – pictures of my childhood – a very early childhood – six weeks and on up to what looks like 8 years old or so.  In some of those pictures, [...]

On the other side

Well, the birthday was yesterday and it came and went.  I guess this time of life is for introspective meditation – but nah.  I see no need to dwell on the past – every bit of it made me who I am today – oh, I have regrets, but I can’t go back and change [...]

Deadliest Catch

I’m a cowboy – on a steel horse I ride – I’m wanted – Dead or Alive – John Bonjovi sings the Deadliest Catch theme song and I can see the boats pitching into the waves.
It was a wild trip tonight, with Jonathan falling into the space between his docked boat and the pier – [...]

I abhor housework

Housework – Ugh.  I know – it needs to be done, but crap, it’s mindnumbing.  Mike and I washed and sealed the kitchen floor today.  It needed a good scrubbing and I’m not even going to mention how mediocre the floor was put in – in the first place.  That’s a whole other blog – [...]

I just don’t know

Last night, I was wrestling with WordPress to add some photos (okay, media).  I’d click the tree icon, but it wanted a URL location – so I closed it.  I have my photos on my computer.  So, I saw the Add media button, so I went down that path.  Well, 57 photos added to my [...]

getting ready

I cleaned the floors, dusted the living room, Swiffered the floor (is that a verb now?), cleaned the kitchen and picked up all the clutter – getting ready for the weekend – we’re selling our house.  It’s a bad time to be selling, but here we are – wanting a new life in another city, [...]

You never know…

Yesterday I was in a hurry.  I had some beading projects to start and I watching West Wing on my portable DVD player.  I used the computer to watch them, but I remembered I had this little portable.  So now I have my big monitor in the center, a laptop to the right of it and [...]

Still the wind…

Again today – the wind was blowing.  I went to the post office and dodged tumbleweeds the whole way.  Some of those suckers are really big – I always thought that they were just plants that had dried out and they were just woody.  But as I found out – they have big thorns too [...]

Sharpie Art Challenge

Here’s the basics – I signed up to  make 30 cards in 30 days.  I am making them a diary – I choose one thing during the day and I draw and write about it.  I might resort to dirty dishes if the day isn’t particularly exciting.  I am using Sharpies and AD markers – [...]
