So, I’ve been spending a lot of time working on my crochet projects lately. I’ve actually had to repeat the same projects over and over, since I have a bunch of people I want to make them for lol. I’ve got dishcloths going, and towels with crocheted toppers. I’m actually focusing on being able to […]

To my friends and family in Virginia and North Carolina, please be safe.  It looks like Florence is only heading to Virginia and North Carolina at the moment, and possibly to DC. We’ve been inundated with rain from Hurricane Gordon over the last week.  To the point where the county I live in is not […]

So, like most big companies, we have a water cooler and big bottles of water delivered.  Many of the others in the office will empty the bottle but leave it on the cooler.  It’s annoying, but I can deal. I actually get a giggle most of the time, because dealing with the water bottles makes […]

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 […]

Last week, I didn’t say much, but I was definitely a frustration crier.  Then we had the memorial for my stepdad, and I couldn’t make it through the memorial without crying.  I had a bunch of funny anecdotes that I said during the memorial in Florida in February.  This time, all I could do is […]

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 […]
