I’m having trouble with Eartlink this morning. the area code split and thereøs a big mess with the phone company and earth link.we used to have compuserve, but I left it only on the wife’s computer.now I’m on the net with the free Alta Vista ISP, but it sticks banner ads in inconvenient places.
My son has a karate test this morning.he knows the kata but has not memorized guiding principle #2.
So far I’ve figured out that we have to call the neighboring area code, 314, without the 1 in front. Our windows 98 computer lets us store that phone number, on our Windows 95 computer, I have to delete the 1 every time I dial in.
I alsi have AltaVista ISP, free, no problem there with phone numbers.
I watched Star Wars and about half of Empire Strikes Back with my nephew last night. All through both movies: “Luke is such a whiner.”, “Ewww, she kissed her brother.”, and, after the relevant scene, “You stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder.”
There’s a big storm brewing, there’s a fire roaring in the fireplace, and I’m reading up on how to subvert and overthrow governments. What a way to spend a weekend!

Single life is pretty cool. All of a sudden, I have this freedom to be a normal teenager. It’s nice, and I’m making the most of it. My friends and I have scheduled weekend events where we can go and “get the mack on.” It’s utterly shameless.
I had a great time while I was in Oregon with friends, and met some pretty cool people in the lodge and ice skating. Snowboarding sucked, so I just didn’t do it, and instead sat around in the jacuzzi savoring teh fact that I was a state away from my pyscho parents.
I went to a Weird Al concert tonight. It was pretty cool, but he left before anyone could get autographs, which disappointed me. I was gonna try and score one fer Opal.
I was toddler free and husband free all day. Ran some errands with my daughter and spent the better part of the day at Borders moseying about looking at books. Bought a book with a credit I had and only ended up paying $4.90 for $22 worth of books. Such a deal.
My house is still in a piggly wiggly ( not the grocery store to you southerners) state as the coverting the master closet to a home office is in the winding down phase. All that is left is we have to paint the room and put the equipment and stuff in it.
Donated two more bags of clothing and stuff to charity, bringing the total bags donated to 8 this year alone.
It’s 445am and it’s raining.

Hey, Borders here we come. We now have Borders credit cards so we can earn $5 certficates. My friend has a GM credit card. He’s stuck buying GM’s and had earned a $2000 discount last time he bought a car.
At work right now Oh well, almost done. I’m definitely thinking Taco Bell right now… Mmmmmm (drool)… Taco Bell. Damn this is mundane! Wait! I have something to liven this up! When I get home, I’m going to do…LAUNDRY! ::crowd cheers!::
We went out to dinner, and we let the kids split adessert. We must be slipping.Anyway, my son was reading the menu, and he weants to know the dessert of the day from the waiter. Even I’ve never asked for that. But the waiter didn’t know. Applebees.
We had a full-fledged Texas thunderstorm come through Friday night - including hail (pea sized only, thank goodness) The wind knocked over my mailbox (the wood was rotting below ground) and picked the storage shed up and set it back down about a yard to the left, completely caterwompus.
It will be a week on Tuesday since I have stopped smoking (with the exception of a couple this weekend). Im proud of myself after almost 20 years of smelling like an ashtray.
Trying to force myself to buckle down and get ready for my sis and her family who will arrive this week, but I had such an awesome weekend, cleaning really seems mundane now.
We are, each of us angels with only one wing,and we can only fly by embracing one another
Talked my parents into watching our kids for a couple of hours so we could go out and actually do something. So we decided that we wanted to see Fantasia 2000 at the IMAX theater at the Henry Ford Museum. We drove all the way over there (45-50 minutes of freeway driving), only to find out that it was completely sold out. I then suggested that since we were at the museum, we might as well look at some of the exhibits. The lady behind the counter tells us that it will cost 12.50 each and the museum closes in one hour. Well, screw that. We drove all the way back home and went out to eat at a nice restaurant instead.
Forgot to mention it yesterday, but it was 71 degrees in town yesterday. If this is global warming, then bring it on!

Sunbear, once I mooch a scanner off of someone, I shall post a baby picture. I promise.
Shadow: Are you going to go to the Van Gogh Exhibit at the DIA? I have to order tickets and I cannot wait. The DIA has such crapola exhibits ( Mummies and stuff, I mean, so it survived a buncha years. Biiig deal.) and finally they get someone really good there. Yeah!
Hubby’s grandma turned 80 last week. She’s a great old lady that has been through a lot. She’s trying to have her life story made into a TV/ Mini series. Personally, I don’t think it was all that exciting ( enough for TV) but then again, watching German TV, it would probably be considered ROOTS or North & South ober there.

I moved this weekend. My roomie’s place from Oklahoma City, and my stuff from the old apartment, all into a spanking new apartment one complex down from the old one. I’m sore all over today, even after the ibuprofen.
I sent boxloads of stuff to Goodwill and threw away boxloads more in preparation for my move to California in June.
My tax return is spent, but I have cleared up all but one of the debts I accumulated during a breakup last year (note to self: never ever be the only signer for rent, utilities, et al). My car is paid off, and all I have left are sundry, mundane expenses. I’m almost free and clear. Yay!
Here’s a fun little thing I learned about Taco Bell. Apparently, they don’t actually cook anything in the building. It is all cooked in a distrbution center, frozen, shipped, and then reheated in the restaurant.
Mmmm-mmm good.

Just got back from a week in San Francisco. Gave a presentation to a publishing company there and was propositioned by one of the clients…after dinner at which he showed us all a stack of photos of his wife and baby daughter. Eeew! What IS it with men?
It’s the way it is. The nice guy genes don’t spread as far. After all, we couldn’t all be nice people, there would be too many of us. Nobody to kill each other.We need to balance population and slimeballs.
