Testing Windows live writer
As much as I don’t want to get any more involved in microsoftlandia than I already am (yes yes I know, I’m an MCSE, but I see all the shortcomings… well Blogdesk doesn’t deal with tags so well and I’m trying to see if this will. J and I are …
It’s a Mad World
Do you have a song that just cuts you to the quick? I have a few. For various reasons. I’ll give you, oh three here. The first one is the Donni Darko version of Mad World (originally written by Tears for Fears). When I hear this I am automatically transported …
Do Overs
Have you ever wanted a Do Over? Some time in your life– either a pivotal moment or a series of events that might have been turned around that you’d just like to roll back. I have some of those. But I wonder, how far can you go with that and …
Sing a Song
Let’s see if I can get this to work. A small vid of the Bean from my iphone Dark, but cute. I wonder if two will work. If this one doesn’t give you pause, I suspect you might be missing some important human attribute. yay, I figured it out. …
Tasty Bits of Cheese
This is really pretty and hypnotic Wheel of Stars This is also entrancing. The palindrome setting sound like Dr. Who. I could probably sleep peacefully listening to this. This video makes me happy every time I watch it: Kitty is a very bad mystic One of my favorite …
Untold Suffering seldom is…somebody said that
I’m very tired and my leg hurts a lot. I’m getting tired of the subject though. Small things. The Bean and I both really like Monster High Dolls. I was inordinately happy to tell her about Cat Town. She reads an episode or two a night. The theme song from …
5 Things
First before I get to that. Em got a solo in her choir. YAY!! We are proud. Also my goal planning with newboss and Mr. Principal didn’t go badly at all. I did talk with them about getting certified and they thought it was a great idea. I will not …
This used to be a mommy blog
And it still is because while I am many things–geek, reader, cat lover, wife–on the day the Bean was born, Mother became my chief identifier. I have always been independant. I’ve often gone my own way, usually uniquely attired. I didn’t just march to a different drummer, but a different …
Babbage the Basement Cat
Babbage Basement Cat Originally uploaded by jyllianm Just sharing this picture of Babbage our youngest. He is a fierce hunter. Every so often a field mouse gets in and either Babbage or Haru become mighty hunters and slay them mightily. This was the latest victim. I am considering giving up …
It was worth a try
I tried to go to work today. I got in the front door and started crying. Not all out sobbing mind you, but just overwhelmed by how much it hurt and how tough it was to get everything done today. I’m very much a creature of habit. My routines make …
we can rebuild her, we have the technology!
I’m going to try and rebuild my laptop. It’s barely creeping by. I noticed on ebay, as I was looking for more memory, that the Dell xps m140s are being resold for between $50 and $200. I have to keep it going for another six months though. Have to get …
Woe is me.
We had to put a chair in the downstairs bathtub (I can’t make it upstairs) so that I could take a bath/shower. I had to. I usually bathe daily (who doesn’t?) and I’ve had to skip Thursday and Friday. I’d taken a shower Thursday morning, but that didn’t count after …
My view on the couch
My view on the couch Originally uploaded by jyllianm I don’t have a lot to say today except OW. I have to keep the cats off my leg, which is easily twice the size of my other one. I’m clammy and everything hurts. Yuck. I don’t get around very well …
Dislocated ankle or what I did today
Dislocated ankle or what I did today Originally uploaded by jyllianm So after the pain killers kicked in I thought, well at least I’ll have something to write about tonight since it’s been kinda boring. Well I was headed to work today and…well in the last two or so days, …
Decorated Tombstone
Decorated Tombstone Originally uploaded by jyllianm Saw this on my walk tonight. It makes me happy that this one and the one next to it both had cute Halloween vases and arrangements. I wonder what they do with them when the time passes or the arrangment becomes too old?
Spooky night walk
Spooky night walk Originally uploaded by jyllianm So I’m trying to start walking again because I’ve gotten, as my daughter says, fluffy. I was doing really well for awhile, then school, then new job then…FLUFFY. Bleargh. I am going to try walking every day except Thursday and see if things …
