That’s who I’ll be tomorrow evening as the guests begin to arrive for Patrick’s “Dead Alive” party. Think I’ve got just about everything I’ll need for the costume–or Patrick’s got things that I don’t have like black nailpolish and lipstick. Should be fun. Gotta get up early tomorrow to clean up the house and make […]

I’m almost afraid to go to bed tonight. You see it’s pouring down rain again and, while the roofer says everything is patched, I thought that to be the case when the rain started last week. But it wasn’t. I feel like I used to feel years ago, debating whether I would get lucky and […]

Something (or someone) is posting comments to my website every night! I believe Patrick called it a “bot.” Anyhow, the name they use is either Online Casino or Free Online Casino, and they post just random comments that are obviously from some kind of a canned program. I’ve gone through and deleted them twice now, […]

I’m currently watching the National League playoffs (final game) and St. Louis is winning (top of the 8th, ahead 4-2) over Houston. This is good as I despise any team from Texas. I’ll be rooting for Boston in the World Series no matter who they face. Why not? They’ve not won since 1918, so it […]

My roof is leaking in the family room! Right down the middle of the back portion of the room…for those who have seen the room, it’s the lower portion of the roof that is covered in wood slats. Fortunately, it’s dripping in the middle…so far. That means I haven’t had to do a massive moving […]

In honor of all the new Lakers (and a couple of “old” ones), I’ve replanted my official Laker garden out front! Knowing we would probably have rain this weekend, I got all the purple and yellow (and a few white) chrysanthemums planted in the bed under my new bay window yesterday. They look quite beautiful, […]

Yes, amazingly enough, it’s raining! And that’s wonderful! Part of my glee is the result of not having seen rain for probably 6 months so it feels extremely refreshing to see everything outdoors covered with sparkling droplets of water. The best part, though, is that NONE of that water is inside my house! This is […]

I’ve looked at all the various polls and have heard the newscasts, and all seem to agree that John Kerry won the debates. If that’s the case, how is it that so many people across the country still favor George Bush? All I can figure is that the majority of GW’s supporters are not being […]

The Lakers lost the first preseason game of the year. It was a really strange game…I couldn’t recognize most of the players and it was hard to think of them as the Lakers. Kobe was great–35 points–but no one else played that well. I expected more from Lamar Odom, but maybe as the season goes […]

…and I finally dropped at about 8 pm tonight resulting in falling asleep on the couch and missing the end of “Designed to Sell.” Oh well, not like I need to know what to do to sell my house someday–I’m doing all the important things right now! I hit all the usual shopping spots this […]

About a half hour into the Presidential Debate and Dubya seems to be floundering. Kerry is very well spoken and Bush seems to be doing a lot of ums and not making any definitive statements. Bush’s responses are to say that everybody is doing a lot of good work while Kerry is giving facts. Some […]
