We didn’t leave until nine the next day. We slept in. Half way through Nebraska, the Jeep decided to get weird. It overheated about five times; we were able to travel about 25 miles in each hour for several hours: stop and fill up the radiator and five one-gallon jugs with water. Get on the […]

Juni has ported Stardock’s weather icons for WeatherPanel. Get ’em here.

It’s official: I have permission to take time off work and everything: We’re going to Colorado for a week and a half. Maybe two! Brett’s taking a ‘working vacation,’ and will be taking tools with him. I’m not sure exactly what he’ll be doing, but it’ll be construction. I will have the Jeep and time […]

I just bought Calendar Plus because I’ve decided I like it, and my trial version was about to expire anyway. It turns the useless Calendar layout into something robust and useful. The maker of this plugin, SBSH, also makes something similar called PocketBreeze which apparently does the same stuff Calendar Plus does. I ran a […]

Good Lord but I’m getting tired of waiting on my husband! LOL! Pamper, my ass! Brett finally decided that the couch – uncomfortable as it is – is not a good place to hang out when your back’s a mess. This means that he’s been hanging out on our bed instead. It also means that […]

It’s chilly and dreary out. It’s been raining off and on all day. The four rugs I put on the laundry line last weekend have never dried and at this rate they never will. Sigh. Brett’s back is still fucked up. It was better Thursday, but he made the mistake of going to work Friday […]

Well, this is a story about a blemish and the little embarassments life can dish up. I was sitting in my car taking a break. (I’m […]

I’ve redone the site. I’m going to move many of the old pages into MT as entries so I never, ever have to mess with them again and they’ll be updated automatically whenever I update the MT templates. Some stuff I’m just going to delete. I have so much crap on my server I can’t […]

Last Friday, Mr. Brett hurt his back. Badly. A group of small muscles in his lower back were so swollen they were pulling his spine out. The man could barely move. He spent the weekend in pain, stuck on the couch. Joe found him a muscle relaxant that put him out like a light for […]

I was catching up on reading blogs this afternoon. I went to a friend’s blog and then followed a link to one of her friends’ blogs… and holy shit, The Sloth is a funny, funny blog. Especially the post for August 17th! Normally I would’t mention a blog twice-removed, but the chick writes with such […]
