I don’t know how we all lived before the internet came along. It’s funny to think back and realize that as short as five years ago it wasn’t the mainstay it is now. Now I use the internet more than I use the television and telephone combined. So you think I’d know by now that […]

Bear is now the ward mission leader at church. Which means that he’s in charge of the guys on the bicycles. They’re very nice boys (most of the time) and if you say no thank you they’ll leave you alone (unless they’re aggressive dillweeds), just to clear up any hate out there. So today they’re […]

This website: griddlers.net is trouble. I love puzzles, word searches, logic problems, etc. In fact Bear just bought me a huge 500 puzzle book from the grocery store and I finished it in a week. I can’t put the things down. Years ago I worked for a consulting company where my job was to basically […]

July 29, 2005
It’s time for yet another clearinghouse post for this dang 50 Book challenge. I’m realizing that reading 50 books won’t be a challenge for me at all, but the writing about them sure is a pain in my butt. These books have been sitting next to my computer for weeks, so long that the OCD […]

July 27, 2005
For the past few weeks I’ve been traveling like a gypsy, and I’m sick of it. I’m now grateful to be back in my own bed, to not have to suck it up and walk and walk and walk and pretend I’m having fun as I strive to not pass out. Plus, I missed my […]

June 14, 2005
Well meaning crazy people keep offering me advice that I politely nod and smile at as I think unkind thoughts. We’ve all heard them before: Just relax, it’ll happen when it’s right, try magnets, try changing your diet, try these crystals, try standing on your head as the full moon wanes, whatever. Aside from the […]

June 9, 2005
I know I’ve been whining a ton lately. I guess I go in phases. I’m up up up for a few weeks, and then crash. I was actually starting to pick myself up and dust myself off when I got hit with some bad news only in my world which revolves around me and is […]

May 27, 2005
Seriously, how do people on bedrest do it? I’m going out of my mind! Of course it doesn’t help that it’s been in the 90’s every day this week and our apartment’s central air is so crappy that it doesn’t seem to make it to the bedroom. I sweat like a pig everyday until the […]

May 24, 2005
I’ve been feeling vaguely panicked all day today. So much so that I haven’t done one dang thing. I just keep wandering from room to room, spending a couple minutes on moving the phone to the charger, putting a towel in the hamper, petting the cats, and then moving on. I’m so unsettled I can’t […]
