on this bitterly cold thursday morning…

i am bracing myself to go get in my car to go to yoga.  i love yoga. i have to get the horrible skin graft thing on another tooth this afternoon.  cutting skin from the roof of my mouth and sewing it onto the gum in front of a tooth.  i will take many deep breaths in...

and march already!

ok, i realize that it’s not really “already” march, since it’s now the 19th. but hey, it’s only two days after st. patrick’s day and here’s this funny photoshopped photo of randy the leprechaun. yes, the photo has been there...

now that we’re more than halfway through march…

here are the final photos from february. not that i’ve been un-motivated or anything. here’s poor chester at the vet.  such a very very unhappy little kitty. and here’s mom’s birthday!  happy VERY VERY BELATED birthday, mom!  kevin is carrying...

and already another friday!

i don’t know how it happened. i continue to sit around waiting for it to warm up.  it’s gonna today, but then fuggedaboudit for the next who knows how long. grrrr is all i have to say to march. here’s the dining room, before we put all the furniture...

friday already…

seriously?  not sure how that happened.  they keep saying it’s gonna be warmer every day, but yesterday when running with mollie it didn’t seem so warm to me.  today better be the day – it’s march, already, time for warm weather.  let’s...

oh boy

i worked on my new banner last night and uploaded it this morning…and it’s not there.  sigh.  i uploaded it again, no dice. maybe it’s just on my computer.  maybe my web host is just really slow this morning.  if i had more energy i’d call down...

the oscars: CHEESEBURGERS FOR EVERYBODY!!!

i have been watching the academy awards; luckily i dvr’d it in order to fast-forward through the ads and the boring speeches. i watched a little of one of the pre-show red carpet blah blah blah look at my dress things, and kristin chenoweth LOOKED LIKE SHE JUST...

the toilet is in the living room,

in between the stove and the fridge, which was moved and then plugged back in. the plumber is arriving shortly to put them all back in the kitchen.  this will be very nice.  the grandfather clock is next to the stove, but last night kevin and garrick carried the...

WHOO, HOO, SHROVE MONDAY DINNER!

kevin wrote that nice comment about shrove monday so of course i had to look it up some more.  here’s some info for you, from wikipedia: Shrove Monday, sometimes known as Collop Monday, Rose Monday, Merry Monday or Hall Monday, is the Monday before Ash Wednesday...

an historic day!

well, today is historic cause of the announcement, but tomorrow will be historic because… KEVIN IS GOING TO MAKE DINNER! whoo hoo! it has something to do with the monday before lent, some traditional english thing, i can’t remember the name of it, but as i...

and they’re still calling it nemo…

i was wondering about the state of the weather channel anchors this morning – last night when i finally turned off the tv they said they’d be there all night, and i hoped there would be a saturday night live sketch, with the anchors at 4 a.m., crazed,...

nemo? or not???

well now i’ve been watching the NBC nightly news with brian williams, who DID NOT MENTION anything about “winter storm nemo.”  it’s just the “blizzard of 2013.”  he had some reporters, who were actually reporters (or doctors of...

FOR GOD’S SAKE HUNKER DOWN!!!

i keep watching the CONSTANT DRAMATIC COVERAGE of the HUGE BLIZZARD NEMO on the weather channel, and i can’t emphasize enough that YOU MUST HUNKER DOWN! i told kevin to hunker down. les is hunkering. there’s a shot on the tv of a semi overturned on the...

football

i don’t watch it, as i’m sure you know, but i did see a little of beyonce during halftime because we were out to dinner and i could see her dancing around, but couldn’t really hear her.  we got back and i didn’t realize anything about the whole...

sunday night

it is very quiet here. kevin is asleep. yes, it is 9:30 p.m.  fast asleep. all is good. goodnight then, mrs. h.

papa john’s bbq bacon chicken pizza (hold the bacon)

that’s what we’re about to have for dinner. onions on half for kevin. we were giving the kitties their flea/heartworm medicine that you squirt in between their shoulder blades.  winnie wasn’t happy about it, but we got it done.  next, chester –...

oatmeal.

that’s what i had for a late breakfast.  the old-fashioned kind, which only takes three minutes in the microwave. with raisins. i really thought this comic was funny. i like the way digger is wagging his tail, SO happy that he has got the rung. that is all for...

getting stuff done on this frigid friday morning…

and BA BOOM, a new banner!  i didn’t take any pictures worth making into a banner last month, so i found this banner in my website banners folder.  it was called “banner not yet used.”  it was taken some summer, and it makes me happy because the...

FREDDIE MERCURY

first, randy complained about me NOT POSTING ENOUGH.  then i got a snarky e-mail from aunt sandy, also NAG NAG NAGGING ME.  this was after i’d just posted my last post, which was even full of photos.  you just can’t please some people. yesterday i thought...

well, by now we all know

that michelle wore a red dress by…johnny chu?  jimmy yu?  jason yu, same guy as last inauguration, blah blah blah.  very anti-climactic, imo. it is supposed to be VERY DANGEROUS FREEZING RAIN right now, but instead it looks like jut plain old rain to me.  we...

OH MY GOD WHAT WILL SHE WEAR???!!!!

last night i wanted to see what they were saying about today’s inauguration, and on CNN there was much chatter, but it seemed to be primarily focused on WHAT MICHELLE WILL WEAR TONIGHT for the balls.  blah blah blah, the lucky designer whose dress will be...

thursday, AGAIN

as january ROARS along… here, then are my final photos FROM DECEMBER. the night before my show, we had a couple of people over to see the dress rehearsal.  our sweet neighbor bernice got up when it was over and seemed concerned about something, wanted to know if...

thursday,

and it’s gonna rain and i must get up and take mollie for a walk before that happens!  no wait, it’s already raining!  so a little YAY for that, but she does need a walk today and it’s supposed to rain a lot. if i wasn’t lazy and bad, i’d...

xmas, but i’m so over that…

well, here are a bunch of photos from xmas, which seems sooo long ago. the tree did look pretty good, even though it was dry when we got it. here’s this funny cardboard train that my grandmother got, i think, in the 50s.  i would tell you more about it, but...

“facebook friends” and a crannog

i got a nice note from ben, the one with the great song, who called himself a “facebook friend,” cause i referred to “facebook friends” in my latest entry, and i explained that i had originally written “facebook friends” with the...

today

so i posted a photo from the show on facebook, and i got some comments from some “facebook friends,” and my actual, real friend kelly wrote and asked how the show was, and i responded, and then she asked something else and i was about to type some more and...

the show!

part of the reason i haven’t been posting here much is because i’ve been editing together Gracetalk #5 to put on youtube.  of course i had various issues with doing it, plus i shortened one of the videos in the show because i felt it was just too long.  i...
