As everyone knows, I do know there is global warming, I just wish it would come HERE! Not only has it been colder than ever at night since about November, but apparently after the rainstorm that is due to pass through here tonight and tomorrow, another big wind is going to hit and then a...

Another brain fade
Ok, I am not joking, but I really really did have something float into my head last night that I wanted to write about! **POOF** Sigh...so I feel obligated to fill space anyhow.I don't know if it is that I seized the moment and went to Oxnard, if it was the conversations we had there,...

Girl Power
Being the political junkie that I am, Thursday was quite the day. Even though I was at work, I used the CNN Pipeline service to stream the audio and video from the House floor so that I could watch the historic events unfold. First, the vote for the new session's Speaker of the House. Then... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year!
I am safely back at home. So much to say, with very few coherent brain cells available! Let's see - after getting *plenty*, if not more than enough sleep over the two nights in Palm Desert - I think I've had maybe 8 TOTAL over the past 72 hours. So please forgive the unorganized spewing... Continue Reading →
I got out of town!
Yay! M threw together some arrangements using his sister's Marriott points and we are currently at the JW Marriott in Palm Desert. We get a couple of days of R&R and then I will head up to Oxnard with he and his brother to help them finish a home improvement job up there. It's either... Continue Reading →

As soon as she told me that she is 5 weeks along, I said "Another August baby!" Yep. Which means that at my busiest time of the year, when I am... Continue Reading →
Bonus second post!
I have often been teased for being always on top of things. A few people gave me a hard time for already having so much holiday prep done right after Thanksgiving. I realized just now that I should not be giving a false impression of myself. I am by no means on top of life... Continue Reading →
I thought I would show off the lovely angel that Polisigh from Dkos gave me. A New Hampshire handcrafted piece. I was looking for something to put on this wall last year, and she solved the problem for me!This weekend was supposed to be all about baseball. We had a tournament out in Lakeside and...

Change of plans
No tournament for Alex. We fell short of players. Not surprising given that it is the weekend before Thanksgiving and we did not find out we needed players until late Thursday. I spent a lot of time on the phone last night and again this morning trying to sort this out. I'm first of all... Continue Reading →
