Hi Dad!

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Remember the incident here? Well, tonight I was sitting in my favorite chair, watching Seinfeld on channel 39 (TBS), and knitting. The remote was on the end table, not anywhere near where I was knitting. Seinfeld ended at 8, and the Yankee game started. I didn’t think anything of it, until I looked at the [...]

Ugh

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

So, last Saturday morning, I found what I thought to be a spider bite on my leg – similar to a mosquito bite, but larger & very itchy. By Tuesday, the red mark was 3 times bigger than it had been on Saturday, and was beginning to take on the appearance of a bulls-eye. I [...]

Hi Dad!

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

Today is the feast day of St. Anthony, and Dad and I always wished each other a “Happy Name Day” on June 13th. My husband and I were in the kitchen earlier, he was seated by the table, I was standing by the sink, and the TV was on, and the remote was on the [...]

Woah! Big storm

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Now I understand why my husband dislikes having trees near the house: This isn’t even our tree-it just fell from next door onto our front lawn. Technically, it isn’t even a tree, just a branch, but the trunk was a little over a foot in diameter. We were fortunate that there wasn’t more damage – [...]

Ugh…Monday

Monday, May 10th, 2010

I hate Mondays…especially when said Monday starts off around the freezing mark, and is supposed to hit only 50 – a perfect November day, except for the fact that IT’S FREAKIN’ MAY! Ahem-sorry. I didn’t want to get up this morning, I’ve only had 1 cup of coffee, and I’m sitting in traffic. UPDATE: Well, [...]

Glad for a rainy day after all…

Monday, April 26th, 2010

My daughter and I were watching TV, and since the house felt chilly and damp, I decided to use the fireplace (a frequent occurrence around here). During the show, I started hearing a loud rumbling, so we muted the TV and CRAP! The noise was coming from the chimney! Now, I knew that a chimney [...]

The Three Amigos

Monday, January 25th, 2010

This past year has been a very bad one – both Aunt Tillie and Dad passed away within a short time of each other.  The Stalker had moved away the year before, due to health issues, to be closer to her children. Love you and miss you, Dad. Technorati Tags: My Life

Hobbies…

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Someone (Hi Barb!) asked me at our weekly Stitch ‘n Bitch what my hobbies are.  Hmmm…let’s see: Knitting Quilting Gardening Photography Web-stuff (building websites, playing with new software-Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, etc.) Building Access databases (yes, it’s fun) And for the last year or so, my favorite thing to do which can suck up hours upon [...]

Dear baseball,

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Dear baseball, I think it’s time you and I had a little talk about this stupid policy of not letting a game end in a tie. It’s almost midnight, and I’ve been listening (or, rather, the WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD) has been listening to the game since 7pm.  My Dad loves the sport, but, being 92 years [...]

School picture day…

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Senior pictures were taken at The Boy’s school yesterday - Jacket and tie were required for the guys. From his reaction, you would think that The Boy would have preferred having all his teeth pulled out with rusty pliers.  I finally convinced him I’d drive him to school so he didn’t have to ride the bus [...]
