My Brother’s Byline

So here is my brother’s first byline.  He is finishing college and writing for a local newspaper.  I’m going to forget it’s about hunting.
I pull it up, I read it, I see his name next to the words staff writer, and let out a big whoo-hoo.
Ems walks in with a deep purple smoothie moustache and [...]

New Books, Farm List and A Random Thought.

I have an hour for lunch on Friday’s and with not much to do am heading to library on a weekly basis, so you will see the girls and my book pages getting updated on a weekly basis.  You’ll also see that I have started listing the illustrators on the children’s books because so often [...]

Lizzie, hope I’m not disappointing you too much as I have been doing absolutely NO CREATING  these last few weeks.  Too busy with sick girly.

Lost- Right?

So are  you getting yet, that Thursday’s posts are going to be about Lost for awhile?  If you’re bored, go ahead, move on, I understand.
So what the….why can’t each episode be five hours long?  45 minutes is not enough!   I much prefer watching them on DVD, so I can stay up all night.
Speaking of [...]

The Hearing

Had me filled with anxiety.  Not that I didn’t feel qualified, but over the fact I would have to testify in front of him (and his mother as it turns out) about all the goings on in the last eight months.
It felt good though to be sitting there by myself (with my lawyer of course) [...]

Silly Dog.

I am way too keyed up about testifying at this custody hearing tomorrow and all the drama surrounding it to go into much detail, so I will just post the results tomorrow.
Having been up all night with Ems last night in a vomiting frenzy, I am off to bed early.  Luckily my sister dropped off [...]

Hot Pockets

Remember how funny I thought it was on Lost when Hurley threw the Hot Pocket at Ben?  And the ensuing conversation about what those things are?  I found this today and had to laugh out loud, really loud, embarassingly loud.

Just a Quick Hello!

Things are definitely looking better today.  Boo is up and about, with only a spiked temperature somewhere about 2am.  She ate breakfast and is harassing Ems which is a good sign.
I just got done blogrolling and just went through a variety of amazing quilting blogs, so now I am inspired to finish the three quilts [...]

Saturday 1.24.09

Sorry I couldn’t come up with a more original title.  
The wonderful part of having the world’s kindest grandparents living next door is that not only did they care for “down with the flu” Boo all Friday while I was at work, but also kept her overnight.
It felt weird to leave her there, ill, but [...]
