Better…
Things are better than the last time we spoke. I’m still working on Oktoberfest, but it’s only for a few more weeks, you know? Then I’ll never, ever have anything to do with it again (hand to God). I can stand it that long! My work for Debbie is chugging along, and still involves trying […]
Gonna kill me
Oktoberfest is gonna kill me. All (!) I’m doing this year is handling the signs and banners, and still…it’s going to kill me. Scheduling appointments for Debbie is gonna kill me. I now have a part-time job (yes, because business had become that bad) working for my friend Debbie, and she has a lot of […]
I was mistaken
You know what I said about feeling better? I was mistaken about that. I’m feeling quite a bit worse, so I think I’ll take to my (our) bed with a cup of herbal tea, the animals and my iPad. And possibly Linda O’Neal’s scarf. And some leftover Mexican Garlic Soup. When one is under the weather […]
Spammy comments
I just (at long last) went to the Pending Comments section of this blog and looked at the 140 comments that were waiting for approval. (What you see below is copied and pasted without change or, obviously, correction.) Yesterday, someone calling themselves looky commented on a post from August, 2010: Actually, I?m a blog starter. […]
Two more days
The temperature in our part of the world has been around 100°F for a few days, and it’ll be that hot again today and tomorrow. But then a strong cold front will be coming through, and the high later this week — the high! in July! in north Texas! — will be in the high 70s! In case […]
How hot is it?
I went to the bank this morning and sat at the drive through, listening to this. And this is what it sounds like around my house. I swear, it could be 10°F outside, and hearing those would make me start to sweat. Maybe it’s because I’ve always lived in warm climates, but the sound of […]
Whew! I think I’m back….
Well, that was a mighty pause, wasn’t it? I haven’t been away, or ignoring my blog(s). I’ve been migrating them to WordPress, and it’s been a bear-and-a-half. Seriously. There were many, many compounding problems, first with redirects, then with what appeared to be DNS errors but actually turned out to be a server issue that only […]
I cleaned out the fridge
…and that’s the recycling that’s left. You understand, there were also plastic storage containers and glass jars that went into the dishwasher (and, curiously, a plastic bag half full of cooked noodles). I realized a few things: I should actually finish the Heluva Good dip before I buy more. I shouldn’t buy cream cheese nearly […]
Holidays
I started to post this on Facebook, as a comment on a friend’s post, but realized it was going to be too long. She said, “I’m always bemused by those few who think that this time of year has always been and should only be about the celebration of their personal savior’s birth — those […]
Sorry for the long silence
Sorry to be away so long. I actually had posts for those last few days of November, but we were visiting my family in San Antonio, and I was having too much fun to take time to post. Right now we’re in the middle of Icegeddon, the second time in a few years that the […]
