Weirdest thing... After the 16 days at Pennsic, and being in stupid pain more than half the time, by the time I left, I was starting to feel much better.... And, lo and behold, 3 days home and I'm back to where I was 3 weeks ago... :(

Okay, now I am thinking that the short, sling chairs and the air mattress helped much more than I thought. My couch hurts, my computer chair hurts and I wake up stiff and bound up every morning. (that last was not literal).... My furniture is out to get me!

What can I say? I took my daughter to Chicago last week to audition for American Idol. They asked her to sing two songs, but during the second song, they held the hand up and said, "No thanks." She was hurt, but not upset. Basically, since they didn't send anybody up with a golden ticket for about 2 hours, it was curious what exactly they were looking for.

It was not bad for a weekend drive, since Chicago is only about 5 hours away, but she had to take three days off work to go. We left We... read more

My husband keeps giving our cats the plates after dinner to lick, cuz they beg all during dinner. Why he is feeling this type of guilt, I haven't got a clue, BUT, now he is offering them bits and pieces of food while he is preparing food.

Of course, it has gotten worse lately with my pain management.... In fact, more bitching about husband, but while I am sitting ... read more

I have so much to do and can't do any of it because of this freaking pain. It's isolating me so that I am not a social anything right now. I don't want to talk, or be touched, or move, or anything. And, for some stupid reason, I am constantly hungry!

I went out for an hour to get some of my shopping done and came home angry and pissed off, mostly because I couldn't take pain relievers and drive, so I haven't taken anything. My house is a disaster and my husband is not doing a damn thing. I... read more

Back to school shopping is horrid! Unfortunately, since my daughter is going to a technical academy at General Motors University, she has to wear business casual. So, no jeans and cute t's and such. She needs slacks and trousers and jackets, and so on. Nothing too short. With her bod, it would look too whorish. So, we'll keep it classic, tailored and layered.

Today and tomorrow are all the back to school sales. Use the credit card, get an additional 15% off! I also have an SCA event about... read more
