Some of you may have received this a bazillion times via email – I know I have. But each time I receive it, I laugh at the levels of irony represented within, so I’m sharing it here for those of you who haven’t seen it, and for posterity. Dear Tech Support, Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0, and noticed a distinct slowdown in...

I had my annual mammogram bright and early this morning and oh what an experience it was. Knowing that misery loves company I want to promote annual breast cancer screenings, I planned ahead and took my digital camera with me with the idea of taking a picture of one of my scans to use as the image for this post. Not that I need to have my ta-tas on display, but...

Ok, so remember when I told you about having typed the D key right off my laptop? Well, folks…I couldn’t take it any longer. I went on a dialing spree last week calling all manner of computer repair entities, only to find that no one had the keyboard my laptop requires in stock and they’d have to order it in.

I’ve had my programmer hat on for the last several days, eyeball deep in magazine-style themes for WordPress. I had installed WordPress locally here on my laptop because I wanted to develop a magazine-style theme for my coaching website/blog.

Ironically, we are celebrating Oklahoma’s Centennial this year. To wind up a year of celebration with a bang, Mother Nature delivers the worst ice storm on record for our state. A cool 45% of the state lost power in this storm, and over 6,000 linemen and other utility people came running to our rescue, some arriving as early as last Monday night. Our power...

No sooner than I get that last post posted, but our power went out. Not all that surprising – irritating, yes, surprising? No. Second Son and I called it a night and went to bed. I saw and heard the power try to come back on somewhere just before dawn, so I went back to sleep figuring it would all be back on when I woke. But, God had other plans for us. At...

I’m trying out a new piece of software today. You see, I have always been admonished to keep a journal, and over the years, I have made several attempts, but they were all short-lived, for one reason or another. Since the advent of blogging, I thought I’d finally be consistent with journaling – but alas – I’m not. There are some things...
