A sweet friend sent me an email this morning with a long article by someone named Jelaila Starr entitled “Weight Loss and the Ego/Inner Child.” Now, I tried, really tried, to read it. All of it. But I couldn’t get…
Usenet Withdrawal :-(
I’m annoyed. For some reason Hamster quit working on either of the PCs I like to use, and I can’t get my usenet fix. Or I could get it if I were willing to switch to a newsreader that will…
Well, There’s One Bit of Good News
The rescued hatchlings lived through the night. I feel better now. I’m letting the kids sleep in and then we’ll drive down to the wildlife rehab place. The only sound other than the constant hum of various PCs is the…
Stupid Nest-Destroying Jerks
The chimney guys decided to move the nest to a bush next to our front steps. But they weren’t very careful and the nest fell apart, babies hitting the ground 4′ below. They are still moving, so the kids are…

The chimney guys arrived at 10:49. I was on the phone with the landlord’s wife at the time, because she’d called to see if they were done yet. These guys look SO YOUNG. I mean, I wouldn’t mind seeing them…
Well Finally!
I’m sitting and waiting for the chimney guys. Again. The chimney odyssey has been going on since July 2001. I’m quite serious. And today, finally! the whole danged thing (okay, except the stone inside, I guess) is supposed to be…
Back to boring brown
Okay, so I’m not a redhead anymore. I colored my hair today and used a different color that seemed closer to the color of my roots—a really dark brown. Sam is home and hasn’t mentioned it at all, so I…
