Interesting job.
I have accepted a job converting a book to HTML. It’s interesting – would be more so if I *understood* what I’m reading! It’s PHYSICS AS THE PROCESS OF OBSERVING 2D AND THE RESULTING FIRST ORDER PDE by Dr. David Maker.
Love in the house?
I didn’t *mean* to. I knew better. But he got my goat and I did it anyway – I yelled at my son. The windows were open. The neighbor who already thinks poorly of us was sitting out on her front porch – directly across the street from my open window. Now, *I* know that my son & I apologized […]
Lunch smells delicious.
We’re running a bit behind today… I didn’t get to bed until after midnight, so I didn’t get up until after 8. I just can’t function well on six hours a night (the plan is to get up at 6). Anyway, Rachel is fixing a vegetable lasagna, without a recipe, with stuff we had on hand. It should be ready […]
A God thing.
Ladies’ Array continued today. We had a short opening, four workshops and lunch. In my second workshop, the teacher had door prizes: two books and three angel figurines. The first four people drawn chose the two books and two of the figurines. The remaining figurine was an angel with a baby. The teacher chuckled and said “Maybe this is prophetic… […]
Ladies’ Array
Every year since 1999, my mother-in-law and I have attended the Ladies’ Array at Madison Baptist Church, which is about an hour from here. It is always a great time of refreshment, conviction, and resolution, as well as fellowship. This year’s “keynote speakers” are the three Hutson sisters (daughters of the late Curtis Hutson) – none of whom still have […]
Last night’s dream was almost amusing.
I dreamed we went to visit my Uncle Albert (I don’t have an Uncle Albert)… and he was in the Army. While we were there, our cat scratched herself all raw and bloody all over (we have been treating her for fleas because she scratched herself open in a couple places) and we asked Uncle Albert to take her out […]
I only slept about 15 minutes!
But what a dream. I dreamed I had a baby… it was a girl, and she was only about as big as David was… but was alive. Her lungs were working fine. She was a bit floppy (like David was) but was ALIVE. Then John Luke came in to have me put on his sandals and woke me up.

Do you like Calvin & Hobbes’ snowmen?
This blog entry by Michelle in Alaska shows how her children made THEIR snowmen… very amusing!
Great quote
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the […]
Monday, Monday…
Why are Mondays so difficult? Getting back in the swing of things after a restful, relaxing weekend (or even after a busy, hectic weekend, for that matter) always seems difficult. It must be something about inertia… either way, the “normal, average” isn’t what the weekend was, usually. We had my youngest sister-in-law in town for the weekend, which meant my […]
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 […]
