I’ve recently been introduced to a new game that has me hooked. It is called the Kingdom of Loathing. I learned about it through an article in Games Magazine. Here’s the lowdown: this guy wanted to make a game one week, so, he did. He used sketches, and the magic [...]
David and I are taking a break from blogging (if you haven’t noticed). We will pick up again after Thanksgiving.
I might sometimes give everyone out there a little bit too much information at some point in the future, so please forgive me in advance for any times I might do that. I know some of the people sure to read this will be family, so please take whatever I say in the future with [...]
My Friday started like a normal Friday… except that it was a period Friday, meaning I was expecting to get my period. Expecting, more accurately, to get cramps signifying the beginning of my period. I got neither cramps nor period. What I did get was a two-pack of Equate brand pregnancy tests from Wal*Mart, cotton [...]
Tonight I discovered Ann Taylor. I have never owned such fine clothing as I now own.
Yesterday, while walking through the Alamo Dome parking lot, we all got to see a 2005 Mustang up close and personal. Check it out. I’m sure it will take me some time to warm up to, and not just because the weather finally took [...]

While the rest of the US was busy worried and voting for the presidency, David and I along with the rest of the CPMS and CRMS band [...]

I like judging because I judge my lesson kiddos and get to take comments on their performances. Plus, since I’m not a band director, I get paid. Also in [...]
So we voted tonight. We’ll be out of town the entire day Tuesday (San Antonio to the UIL State Marching Competition to support the CPHS band) so we decided to go tonight, the last night for early voting around here. After a trip to the mall, which did not have voting we found out, we [...]
Okay, I have to admit, David and I do not watch the news. We do not subscribe to a newspaper, nor do we read “news” sites online. We are pretty detached from “news” in general, including the mud-slinging of politics. David watched some of the Bush-Kerry debates but I did not. So I have a [...]
Have you ever stared at a picture so long that you feel like you will have it with you always? I am currently enjoying such a time.
I am blown away by the prints. I did not expect all of my pictures to turn out… yet they all did. And how beautifully! I have [...]
