Which Way is the Dancer Spinning?
This link came through on one of the mailing lists I belong to. I’m not ashamed to admit it kept me fascinated for a long time. I managed to see her spinning both directions. The coolest part? SoundGuy and I watched her together, and there were […]

Things never happen when you want them to.
Here in North Georgia, we’ve all been praying for rain, but have seen very little. We did manage to get some early this week ( ), just not enough to make a difference. But that’s not what this post’s about.
Normally, it only rains […]

Five stores it’s nearly impossible for me to pass (and shopping’s not even one of my favorite pasttimes!):

Sorry I haven’t responded to comments yet — such is the life of a mom! I’m hoping to get that done in the morning after SoundGuy leaves for work and before I get back to processing photos from MiniMe’s soccer games (I’ve probably got close to 1000 yet to go through!).
Anyway, late as I […]

Five movies I love to watch when I’m feeling down:

So I’ve been battling some emotions lately, some stress, and like an idiot, I go and read the newspaper today. Apparently, Atlanta-area lakes have reached critical point and the Army Corps of Engineers is partially to blame; they found a new dinosaur (well, his bones anyway) in Argentina; a street-racing 15-year-old killed somebody in […]

I haven’t been around much lately, mainly due to fatigue. I just can’t shake this constant tiredness. I thought I might be coming down with something, but SoundGuy pointed out that I’ve been very stressed lately, and for me, stress manifests itself physically. When I considered the headaches I’ve been having in […]

5 driver-types who annoy the hell out of me:

I’ve been pretty absent the past week or so — I apologize. I guess I should amend that statement to specify that I’ve been absent from the internet, because I’ve been here and busy as all get out. I somehow managed to wrangle myself into taking pictures at MiniMe’s soccer games and LittleDude’s […]

Five authors I enjoy reading:
(These are not necessarily my top five authors, and they appear in no particular order.)

I think I’m in love, y’all (ooh — how Britney was that?).
Seriously, did anybody else watch the premiere of Pushing Daisies? My local newspaper called it weird; for me, it was the perfect amount of weirdness. Like a combination of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Wonderfalls with a bit of paranormal oddity […]

I don’t do bugs.
What I mean to say is I don’t do well with bugs. They freak me out, and I’ve been known to go a little nuts when they manage to get on me. My children find this amusing, and even Tess enjoyed once being treated to a demonstration of how I […]
