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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 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 …
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 …
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 …
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 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 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 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 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 …
I seem to be having a lot of them lately. I can’t tell if it is because I haven’t hit my stride with work this year –just never have. I seem to get no breathing room to think, just go from one emergency to the next. I know I’m doing …
Does Adventure time seem like it isn’t for kids? Are cartoons much more like a weird head trip than they used to be ?(H.R. Puffinstuff and Lidsville excepted) Are jobs asking way more of us than 5 or 10 or 15 years ago? Kids know more in 3rd grade than …
Bean Meets Lady Catherine and her mount Originally uploaded by jyllianm Bean really loved the all female jousting company. Beautiful and well loved horses and some great skill.
