It seems somehow odd to be blogging after so long. Life, then Facebook, then life again seem to have just gotten me in the habit of not blogging. I swear fb is bad for the attention span, twitter too. Having to limit thoughts to fit into their little boxes seem to play havoc on the mind. It is easy to get into the instant gratification of nowdays, but, I can blog on my phone right? lol I really

yes, this is me, dusting off the cobwebs and blogging on this blog.... I will try to gather up all my old blog posts from other blogs into this one. hard for me to spend too much time on the computer(on my phone right now) as my laptop died and am on hubby's desktop and for some reason it doesn't feel right to be on it much. weirdness I know ... just bad juju .... I probably should catch ppl up

Take the quiz: "What Historic Woman Are You?"Queen MedbQueen Medb was an Irish queen, and what a queen! She ruled HER WAY or the HIGHWAY. When arguing with her husband over who had the greater fortune, she got so mad that she called a war on a neighboring kingdom to capture a bull so that she'd be wealthier than her husband. She was impulsive, temperamental, and passionate, just like you. But try

And as it would be thats the only load of laundry that needs to be washed! I'm trying not to let the tiredness catch up to me. I got my Crochetville Spring Secret Pal I'm so excited! Also

Remember the boy's bad day where his father had called and then hung up on him? He called again this weekend (the sperm donor that is), wanting to talk to "his son" since he didn't get to on his birthday. I am like : "Hang on you talked to him on your birthday!" He: "I did? Oh I forgot I guess" Me: "Yeah and you hung up on him." He: "No my phone card ran out on me." OK thats a resonably

Should KC sign Ty Law? I'm not sure... Law offers the Chiefs T.O. effect The article is basically saying the Law going to KC would be like TO going to Philly... not sure that is a good thing to be compared to as TO is a punk. I understand the principal behind it though but not sure that Ty Law is what the Chiefs need... they need SOMETHING though.

Then we went to goodwill and another thrift store, might as well not have cuz I crapped out on yarn. goodwill had a bag of three old half used skiens but nothing I couldn't live without so I left them for someone who needed them more.

No big C in his spleen. Couple other things but they weren't concerned and the dr didn't request to see him Must be too busy- QUACK. Although this is good news, (no cancer) it leads to the question of What's wrong then? Wouldn't you think the dr would want to know? Geesh.... He goes for more bloodwork hopefully I can get him to make an appt with another dr.

Hehe catchy title huh? When I think of yarn I think in terms of color, how soft, how pretty, what I will make and for whom. When David thinks if yarn he sees plastic tubs of yarn floating around his head like cartoons stars after being hit. Does that mean I have too much yarn? To an outsider, possibly. To a yarny? You can not ever have "too much yarn"... that phrase doesn't exisit in our

This mornin started innocent enough. Except I was cold and stiff. The boy got up before 5 cuz Daddy was going to work. Well the ok day ended up going way wrong early cuz I managed to hurt my upper back. Why oh why can't do these boneheaded things when David is home? I think it's not as bad as it was cuz I'm sitting here typing without crying. I'm leaning up against the heating pad though. I

Also feeling very pmsy, tired cranky short tempered etc The boy for the past two days instead of sleeping late on weekends like he usually does has gotten up at 5 both days. So I have had no cuddle time this weekend at all. :( No Cuddle Makes Mommy Grumpy I have that feeling you

Yeah, me and the boy have been up for a bit. He woke up I got up to let Daddy sleep since he doesn't get to do that much. Course since this house is old and one of those open houses where you have to walk through all the rooms to get to anywhere you need to go he doesn't get much sleep. But we try, which means I speed all my time whispering "Sean, hush" "Sean don't stomp" "Sean don't run through

Coffee in hand I set out this morning on the computer adventure that is my morning routine. The house is silent as the boy is still asleep as it should be; He had such a rough day yesterday. The Sperm Doner called him as it was Sperm Doners bday. So he wants to talk to the boy. My trying to be nice get the boy up from where he was supposed to be trying to go to sleep for a nap to talk to him.

You Are 24 Years Old 24 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

David was up and down most of the night. The boy refused to go to sleep till after we went to bed. I laid in bed listening to him play until he finally got quiet. He was up before 5 before His Dad left for work again. Soooo needless to say I am very tired and cranky. Worried... Got another secret project almost finished last night. Got an idea for a hat.

Since I have blogged so much about it lately. I figured I better clear things up. I have Graves Disease. Now my thyroid WAS overactive, in 1992 when I was diagnosed I had a goiter which is an enlarged part/all of the thyroid. I also had a spot that was abnormal which they feared was cancerous. So as a result of that and the fact my thyroid was waaaay over active they decided to remove instead of

Just when I had been gathering things for a package to cheer up Sutty who's been having a rough go of things lately, she goes and sends me a package. I had no idea I'd be getting such yummy yarns!!! Also a handmade scarf which is totally beautiful (love those colors!) And a bracelet and sachet. Thank you again Sutty!!!!

I took the tree down. Usually when I do that I end up reflecting on things. Today I was struck by the realization that each year I take the tree down according to how the year went. If the year and Christmas were good then the tree comes down slowly and with some regret that it has to come down at all. If the year and Christmas were bad then it is hastily taken down and stuffed away as if to

lol OK well maybe not that bad, but I do have a headache. (Now I know why I hate drinking anything other than a couple glasses of wine) I hope everyone had safe celebrations for the new year. Now... it's time to take down the tree and the yard decorations and all that stuff. This year crochetwise has lots of possibilities. I am in a Hat Swap and already have the person who I am supposed to

Well it's the last day of the year. It always brings reflections. Happy Birthday to my Mother, although you don't read this I'll say it just the same and will call you later. This year was alot; I think for everyone. We moved twice, second time out of state to new job and new world. We lost some people, who will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. We met new people and gained new

OK folks... over the next few fews this blog may at times go all funky. Reason being, I am in the process of setting up our own domains website. I will eventually transfer my blog over there, don't know if David will want his there or not. Now why will this blog go funky? Cuz I will be backing it up and to do that I have to change some things. BUT I don't know when or even how long it will

Beats the hairy heck outta me but I think the cat has something to do with it.
