Well, I drove up to St. Louis yesterday with mom to pick up the li’l bro from the airport. He’s visiting from his current stomping grounds aka SLO(San Luis Obispo), in good ‘ol Cal-ee-forn-eye-ay. It’s great to see him again. His hair is longer than any of the girls in the family, and he still…

His first car, er truck? NO!!!
My baby boy is growing up, TOO FAST. He’s made a deal to purchase his first vehicle. A ’93 Ford Ranger, built with the capability to haul a fishing boat. Pretty close to his dream ‘first car’ anyhow. I’m not handling this very well. At all. Sniff.
Really Workin’ Out
So, I’ve been working out. Actually have made it 4 out of the past 5 days. It feels good. I’m really only feeling it in my back and neck a bit. I’m working into it slowly, since I can’t afford downtime from muscle stress/strain or injury. But as the youngest likes to quote “_Slow and…
Gimme a boost!
Well, it looks like I will be purchasing two of “these”:http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=3429539 for the little girls. At 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 they’ve both been using regular seatbelts, but now have to revert to child restraints a.k.a. ‘booster seats’. Indiana state law, effective July 1st of this year puts into effect that instead of the previous…
12 Days Until Spring ‘2005
So, I’m tired of this snow layout, tired of the cold, ready for Spring! I’m not sure when, how, or what, but I plan to start messing with a new layout SOON! Perhaps it’s what I need to lift me up and prepare me for what the beauty of Spring inevitably brings upon me –…
I’m a great-what?!?!
A great-Aunt?! That can’t be! That makes me sound *_OLD!!! _* Well, _his_ niece just had her first baby a few weeks ago. She’s adorable. And _he’s_ 4 1/2 years older than I am. And his sister was like 12-15 years older than him. And she was very young when she had his niece. And…
screech, scritch, hiss, haw
Well, it finally came – the poor UPS guy – he didn’t make it to our door until 7p.m. and he said he wished he could say he was near done, but he in fact wasn’t. And my dear, daughter was watching out the front window, jumping at every car passing, all day long. So,…
Ohhhhh spammers – dirty words to you!
Bottomfeedingscumsuckingspammers. Nasty spammers started relaying spam though my server and in the process managed to get our IP blacklisted at spamcop. Good thing I have great support through my NOC, and they were able to guide me to a way to shut them down. Then I had to go to spamcop and they do have…
Spring – psych!
I do blog quite a bit about the weather (when I do blog) but I pay so much attention to the weather. It affects me so much. My moods, my plans, etc. I have a “weather”:http://www.weather.com button in any browser I use for any length of time at all. I have the weatherfox extension on…
Back to Mac
Well I repaired “mom’s old Lombard Powerbook”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/starzabove/3820592/ – man, it makes me want to go back to Mac even MORE! So, I’m planning to do just that. I’m going to reacquaint myself by using the ancient 333mghz “Lombard”:http://www.lowendmac.com/pb2/lombard.shtml with it’s lovely bronze keyboard (lovely to type on that is, since I have always said that…
