“Woman, you did it again! Where on earth have you been?” Yeah, even those who IM me haven’t seen me around much. And definitely no e-mails… I’ve been on a mission since last Saturday evening. “What happened Saturday evening?” I had a couple “friends” contact me through Facebook. Friends from a life I’d all but … Read more
Quote of the day from Timmy: “Did Daddy become a weather doctor to help the weather feel better?” He asked us this as we were walking through a parking lot in a foggy drizzle. He’d been cooped up indoors for the past 2 days and is ready for the weather to feel better. Many of … Read more
My Jacob turns 6 today! Enjoy the warp-speed trip through memory lane: Jacob at age 1 month: At age 3: Just about age 6 (school picture):
Dave came across the film Biloxi Blues this evening on Encore when he was surfing channels. This has to be one of my favorite movies! Matthew Broderick in the 80s was the cutest thing in the world. He’s still pretty cute now — he was a hoot in The Producers and I wish wish wish … Read more
How many of you knew that I could sew — show of hands! Yeah, that’s what I thought. Not many. Enjoy this gallery of things I’ve made. Mainly costumes, as you will see. Jacob wants to be a Jedi knight for Halloween. Okay, that doesn’t seem too hard. He showed me his Mace Windu action … Read more

This is what Jacob greeted me with this morning. At least he said “Good Morning” first. No, my house isn’t that filthy! As you’ll remember from my Pros and Cons posting at the end of last month, our neighborhood sits just north of a large cattle farm. When the wind is from the south or … Read more
Wild sunflowers are in bloom in E. Nebraska and W. Iowa. They’re just popped up all over the place, like how Queen Anne’s Lace pops up in PA and WV, and how wild thistle grows on the sides of the highways in NC. So I pulled a Maryann and pulled over on the side of … Read more
Today was Timmy’s first day of preschool at a church up the street from us here in Bellevue. He was great going right into the classroom, picking up his nametag and getting involved in the centers scattered about the room. Then it was time to say “Goodbye”. He became a terrified wreck and it took … Read more
This caught my attention tonight…I randomly came across this blog when searching for some information about how the Republican National Committee chooses how many delegates get sent from each state (it isn’t as cut and dried as the Electoral College). Statistics fascinate me — sure, I’ve been exposed to enough statistics in my work and … Read more
