So, after boasting about my middle child and only daughter programming a robot for her STEM class final, my youngest is applying to be in Robotics club. Apparently, they only have 10 kids total who can do it, and only 2 out of the 4th grade – the remaining 8 will be out of the […]

Someone told me the other day that I take too much on myself. I’ve been told the same before, and I know it’s right – I started to say suspect, but I have a dear friend I could see rolling their eyes at me saying that it might not be correct. That’s a good reason […]

LOL so I started this post a week ago, and had to stop.  But, all I got done was the title.  Now I get to figure out what I was going to talk about.  I’m pretty sure that I know what I was going to say.  There’s so much of my life that’s in limbo […]

I listened to the most recent podcast for Nerdificent this morning, and now I want to watch the Twilight Zone.  I can remember watching these shows when I was younger, and I found some of them unsettling.  Now, I suspect that I’d probably find them as unsettling, but not as creepy. I have been trying […]

This year, my middle child and only daughter took a STEM class. In this class, she did various things, including take pictures and work on the yearbook. At the end of the year, the members of the class had to do a project. The project she chose was to program an M-Bot. One of her […]

So, we get from Oklahoma to New York, and the clutch went out. On a Sunday. In the middle of the interstate off ramp. We had to pay for a tow, then a hotel. I walked the .5 miles to the dealership at 7:30 am. They couldn’t look at it until after noon. Total cost […]

I might actually have gotten my hosting moved.  I’ve been trying to get everything done for a week, so we’ll see.  I have until 6/9 to test it out, and then my old hosting is going away.  I’m paranoid that I’m going to lose something with this site.  The rest, they are just simple designs […]

Scrolling through the TV guide tonight, I found the American Chopper reboot. This is one of the few reality shows I used to watch, though I preferred Monster Garage – a bit more fabrication and a bit less drama. I have enough drama in my life without watching pointless drama on TV. Anyway, the Teutuls […]

So, it’s been a while since I posted.  I really try to keep up, but time gets away from me.  So what’s a girl to do? In March, my stepdad died.  This is the man who raised me after my parents got divorced.  He’s been my stepdad my whole life, since he and mom were […]
