hawaii video

ok, so at least i can add videos with you tube…but i know there must be a way to just put a video up here without it having to be on you tube. on a website i was looking at, there were videos posted and it just said it had adobe flash player. but now i...

wednesday!

ok, NO MORE CRAZY PHOTOS OF ME TODAY!  MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO! not so much, but still, i finally have some pictures that i’ve taken over the last few days.  some of them seem so old now because SPRING IS SPRINGING UP all over the place! here’s a...

more crazy crazy photos…

clearly this whole crazy-photo aspect of my fabulous new computer is aimed at children – AND I LOVE IT! so here are a few more photos that i couldn’t help myself but take… the angel and devil flew all around my head; the angel saying...

happy good friday!

and i hope it’s a very good one for you… i wish i was getting some chocolate easter eggs.  i need these EXACTLY AS MUCH AS I NEED A HOLE IN THE HEAD, but i want them anyway.  but it’s GOOD that i won’t get any. VERY VERY GOOD.  because of all...

it’s a VERY FANCY COMPUTER, like i said…

but in case you have more technical savvy about computers than me and very very fancy isn’t good enough for you, here’s all the information from the side of the box: it’s an HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook.  it has an AMD Turion II Ultra Dual-Core Mobile...

OH MY GOD

new computer.  UNBELIEVABLE. it has a webcam with all these crazy pictures and things on it…i took this picture, but then i also made a little video but i cannot figure out how to put the video into the body of the text here. i know somebody knows how to do...

in terms of things that suck…

i’d have to say that traffic court here in springfield isn’t so bad. i wonder what it’d be like in LA – i remember going to the DMV, an entirely different thing altogether of course, but also having to do with driving – i was actually...

last day of march

it’s going to be warm and beautiful and i’m going to spend my afternoon in traffic court…well, it should be interesting.  different.  my just desserts after being so happy about not having to do jury duty… wayne took my laptop away yesterday. ...

the moon…

kevin took this picture with his phone, then added this cute border.  his phone does many fancy things. the moon has been beautiful.  i took a couple pictures of it on sunday night – here’s one of them. then, last evening, jim called to say that i MUST...

no more amoxicillin in this lifetime…

aunt sandy wrote to me, asking why i’m taking the prednisone.  i guess i failed to mention that the dr. on friday said i’m allergic to the antiobitic i was taking after the tooth-pulling.  it is called amoxicillin and i must NEVER EVER TAKE IT AGAIN. ...

prednisone

dad says it’s his drug of choice – when he had shingles, the doctor gave him prednisone and he says it made him feel like he was in his 20’s again. when i went to the doctor on friday, that’s what he prescribed for me.  i’ve been taking...

one thing better, the other – not so much

my computer seems to be working fine now.  whew. here’s that photo from last night.  beauty. i actually look WORSE this morning.  my left eye is even more swollen, so fetching.  i’m going to call the doctor when the office opens. as i wrote last night, it...

A Tale of Moronitude: Viruses, computer and otherwise

first:  in the past few days my computer has been acting a little suspicious – notices popping up saying there was an alert, you know, that kind of stuff that pops up sometimes…and then, yesterday, i was reading something online and all of a sudden the...

the continuing saga of the hillbilly…

today amy cut and colored my hair and then blew it dry and puts lots of fancy hairstyling products in it and it looks FANTASTIC.  so if i just don’t smile really wide, nobody will know i’m a hillbilly! there was a patch covering the gaping hole, and some...

spring…

you wouldn’t know it’s the first day of spring today.  it’s cold, windy, gray. friday, though, it got a little bit warm.  when i looked out on the deck, there was a duck.  i don’t recall ever seeing a duck on the deck.  this one was clearly...

white pelicans!

on thursday morning i couldn’t see the lake at all because of the fog. zero visibility. a couple of geese were down in the yard, and when i went outside they started complaining loudly that i was interfering with their stroll. i figured there wouldn’t be...

NO ROCK CANDY!

one of the many admonishments on the very detailed instruction sheet for post-op tooth care  said “You should not eat very hard foods, such as rock candy, for about eight weeks.” ROCK CANDY??  is that the first thing somebody is going to think about after...

blue, blue skies…

at least it’s sunny here today, after a morning of lots of fog, but we so rarely have that vivid, intense sky like in key largo. here, finally, are the rest of the pictures of that trip. these are a few photos that dad took – here are some of the many...

tooth-yanking survivor!

Whew.  i was going to write yesteday but it wasn’t till last night that i had the energy to open up the laptop, and then it was only to see if we could watch something instantly on netflix.  putting together any kind of coherent sentence was way beyond my...

the hillybilly phase

it’s about to begin, in just an hour or so…i have to be at the oral surgeon at 8:30 and i’m sure they’ll first make me pay the HUGE AMOUNT for the pulling of the lone tooth…and then i get what will hopefully be really good drugs because...

the pressures of academia.

as i’ve written before, kevin is enrolled in not one but TWO classes at lincoln land – piano class and something like music theory only they call it something else.  he missed a whole week of class because we were in key largo, then they were on spring...

never mind…gus was right.

ok so just forget everything i wrote about “parade” the musical.  it was really, really good.  all the people were great, as i’d figured they would be, and paul presney puts on a show like nobody’s business and the music was really...

today, saturday…parades of different sorts

i was a reader at muni auditions all day, since 8:30 this morning.  that’s a mighty early hour to be out and about – i can’t imagine singing so early, but there were plenty of people doing it.  last sunday i saw quite a few good people, but...

florida florida florida

there has been no sun at all today.  it started to rain a little bit when we were running, and it’s been raining ever since, and it’s just supposed to keep raining… florida, a very blue place.  when we got back from driving down the keys, mom, kevin...

20 minutes…

that’s how far we ran (or shuffled) today. we were running (shuffling) across the field and all of a sudden kevin was zig zagging along instead of going in a straight line.  i felt like we were running MUCH FASTER than wednesday.  i asked him why he was doing...

CUTEST DOG EVER

i just can’t seem to get a handle on much of anything this morning, but i did take this picture of mollie who was looking so sweet, and so at least have to share that with you. we’re now about to go running which i’m really not looking forward to...

INCREDIBLY CUTE KOALAS!

my aunt sandy sends me many, many different forwarded things.  sometimes they are DIRE WARNING, sometimes they are pictures of different things, mostly cute animals.  I LOVE THE CUTE ANIMAL PHOTOS, but none of them, NONE OF THEM, has been as cute as these INCREDIBLY...

more photos of greenery and sunshine…

we did have plenty of sunshine and WARM TEMPERATURES here yesterday, but things are still pretty darn brown. this is kevin on our first day of vacation, enjoying the local cigar he bought at the cigar shop in key largo. the next morning we started heading south, and...
