do we glow yet?

We invaded a top secret gathering of the Oak Ridge bloggers and took some sloppy spy camera shots. Can you identify any of the bloggers? The ride there was so quick it shouldn’t count as out-of-town but they treated us wonderfully with food and entertainment. Our ride home was very quiet. We need a Knoxville […]

gettin’ geeky wit it

Last night’s tv choices were so bad that I found myself staring, slackjawed and forehead scrunched at Korgoth of Barbaria. Except for hee hawing like a donkey when the characters rolled their multi-sided dice, I’m not sure what I think of this show. Take a peek and decide for yourself. Earlier in the evening I […]

mom update

My mother has moved from the hospital to a rehab center. The place is immaculate and designed to look more like a hotel than a medical facility but it is way on the outskirts of town (far west end of farragut). I am making daily laundry runs to her and cat feeding runs to her […]

be diverse

A big name female, political blogger posted this story. Right here in Tennessee, one female blogger took her story in this direction while another female blogger took her story in that direction. I won’t say what I think because I’m not a political blogger and nobody cares what I think about politics. I point it […]

multigenerational fun

On Tuesday I almost posted about how much fun I was having spending the morning at the hospital with my mother having a bad reaction to the pain meds until the school called about a sick child. Then, I hysterically shrieked at a nurse about pain medications (“Stop using this and try something different. Now!”) […]

school is like, okay

I have written repeatedly about Tommy and Noah’s school trials and tribulations. I don’t say much about Sarah’s “academic performance” because without any effort she pretty much makes straight B’s with a few A’s thrown in for no clear reason. When I say no effort, I mean lazily do as little as humanly possible so […]

blingo and iTunes

My little brother won on Blingo and since he signed up under me, I won too! I went to iTunes to spend my $10 credit and wandered around the mega-site like you do when you go in the grocery store without a list. I ended up buying: Abacab by Genesis Mary Jane’s Last Dance by […]

would you like butter on that

More than 24 hours after my mother first settled in her hospital room, I was crawling on the floor to adjust her beer cooler iceman wires and I found a piece of popcorn. A big, white popped piece of corn was just under the bed. I wasn’t disturbed by the fact that there had been […]
