Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I grew up with a very Irish last name, so St. Paddy’s has always been one of my more favorite days, even if we don’t *do* anything about it. My brother, as I recall, used to delight in wearing orange on St. Patrick’s Day. I’m not sure if he still does that or not.
Neat tree
On February 16, we went out to Buck’s Pocket to look around. While there, we saw this very neat tree.
Invisible
I’m feeling particularly invisible, lately. If you saw my post a few days ago (though, at this point, I’m doubting anyone even reads HERE), you’ll have seen that it saddens me that nobody from my past has ever – apparently – wanted to contact me… and I feel like if I don’t go to the message boards that I generally […]
How many of YOU are there?
HowManyOfMe.com There are 144 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name? Apparently, I have a gross name. Snort.
I still can’t believe it
We did it. We bought one. They actually had one in at our Wal*Mart, and we had enough in the bank to cover it, so we did. We now have a Wii.
Things I would like to purchase
1. A new stove/oven with knobs at the top instead of the front, and more room between burners and/or more burners (may not be able to afford both, so would likely get the knob thing instead of the more burners) 2. A Canon PowerShot S3 IS 3. New (lower, not upper) kitchen cabinets with more drawers 4. A Wii There […]

Friends from the past
I find it a bit sad. I have made myself easily findable (on purpose) because we moved a lot when I was growing up and came in contact with a lot of people… and yet the only ones I’ve gotten BACK in contact with are ones that I managed to find doing my own searches. It makes me wonder. Was […]
Talk about weird dreams!
I dreamed that I & my dh and another couple were in this underground hideout place, and for some reason we had a wedding ceremony in which I was the bride and the other dh was the groom… after, I asked the preacher, “That wasn’t *real*, right? Because I’m still married to my dh and there hasn’t been any divorce, […]
Happy Birthday, Cheryl…
…wherever you are. I hope one day I find her again. I remember her every year… but she’s probably forgotten me by now.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
… and happy birthday to my friend KIM (who reads this blog!) and happy birthday to my friend Michelle’s oldest daughter.
Life Soundtrack
Got this from a friend’s blog: If your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be? Here’s how it works: 1. Open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod). 2. Put it on shuffle. 3. Press play. 4. For every question, type the song that’s playing. 5. New question– press the next button. 6. Don’t lie and try to […]
Found another fun game
If you, like me, like word games (board-style, not computer-based), you should check out Pick Two! My friend brought it over a few weeks ago and we enjoyed it so I had to get my own copy.
Happy Groundhog Day!
Good day to watch that perennial favorite movie “Groundhog Day” … I will have to see if I can find it 🙂 I predict spring starts on March 21… LOL

You know…
I always intend to blog more than I do. I don’t know why I don’t. It’s just something to make time for. I sometimes make up blog entries in my head, but they rarely make it to the blog. Bummer. I did find another timesucker the other day, that I really enjoy. We have a GameCube, and my eldest son […]

Kidney stones.
I seem to have started developing them. Thankfully, mine seem to be the kind that dissolve in acidic urine. My first experience was Dec. 11, and a day or two of taking vitamin C cleared them up. Late last night, I once again felt the telltale pain, and immediately got up and took 2000mg vitamin C and it eased up […]
