As promised, I’ve got a Saturday Shot for you!

But just the good stuff, I promise.
First, I have actually made headway with NaNoWriMo. Not as much as I’d like, but I did it. However, it does look like I’ll have to put it aside — and that I’ll explain later. At least I know I was capable.
Yesterday was a HUGE anniversary […]

Sometimes when I’m trying to write, that’s all that flash across my mind.
Bomp Diddly Bomp Bomp
Drives me nuts, actually. Especially now, since I’m supposed to be trying to finish 50,000 words by month’s end. Take a look in my left sidebar. See what I’ve completed? A whole whomping 5,000-ish words. […]

I just came home from a night of live rock n’ roll (details later) to find this:
ATKINSON, N.H. - Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band Boston, was found dead Friday in his home in southern New Hampshire. He was 55.

It’s the eve of the kids’ first day back to school. Am I excited? You betcha! This marks the beginning of my new year, and with the new year will come a new attitude, yadda yadda yadda.
I’ll talk more about it tomorrow — it’ll be a goals post. Declarative. I’ll […]

Last night, SoundGuy and I watched the movie Invincible, based on the story of Philidelphia Eagles’ Vince Papale. If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you do. Even if you’re not into football flicks. The story’s heartwarming, the acting’s great, and the soundtrack’s outstanding.
Seriously — it’s a Disney movie that opens […]

Here it is, Christmas Eve, and my shopping’s been done for TWO WHOLE DAYS! It may not sound like a big deal to you, but for me, it’s a record. Is your shopping done? Are you ready for tomorrow?
Just in case you need something to take your mind off all the prep […]

Looks like you all knew the Messed Up Tune! It was indeed “Life is a Highway”. That’ll teach me to work up a Messed Up Tune while watching a Disney/Pixar flick.
Good grief…is it Christmas yet? I busted my butt today to try and get all the gifts wrapped before the […]

I ran into a speed bump with my holiday prep — LittleDude came down with Strep. *sigh* Luckily, he’s going back to school tomorrow and I’ll finally be able to finish my shopping. Good thing, too, the kids’ Winter Break starts Thursday, and my goal is to have everything done by then. […]

Is everybody else slammed too, or is it just me? At least my shopping’s nearly done — early for me, believe it or not. Yes, sad, but true.
The good news is I haven’t injured myself in two weeks. Oh, wait. Scratch that. Last week, I tripped coming up […]

Christmas shopping still isn’t done, but at least the tree’s up and decorated. I think this is the earliest our tree’s ever been up — we’re usually last minute people.
Speaking of Christmas, I have to ask. Is everybody going through this cold snap? I’d find it hard to believe it’s just us […]

Okay, first order of business, last week’s Messed Up Tune. Tanya and Heather had it goin’ on — last week’s tune was indeed Patrick Swayze’s “She’s Like the Wind”.
Secondly, is anybody else having problems with this stupid Stration/Warezov worm? I’m not sure if I actually have it, but CBL now has my IP […]

We’ve had a pretty big weekend. MiniMe’s soccer team has been making up games rescheduled due to weather, so I’ve spent a good bit of time sitting in the biting wind at soccer fields. It paid off today, though — MiniMe’s team tied a team who’d walked all over them the previous times […]
