Decepticon

Sunday, July 7, 2002

For some reason I didn’t plan on this happening. With me as his mum, and all. My sweet little man is turning into something of a little jock…and daredevil. It started with sliding down the slide, facefirst. The he busted out his smackdown wrestling moves. Practiced on yours truly, and perfected at daycare. Then [...]

Hair Today

Saturday, July 6, 2002

Or now for something completely different. And frivolous. After weeks of working too many extra-long days I found myself, miraculously, with a day off. I spent the morning with the little man…but the afternoon was all about me. Felt a little guilty about it, but mommy needed a little time to herself. So mommy [...]

Too Close To Home

Saturday, July 6, 2002

I should mention the day wasn’t excellent for everyone. As my guests arrived they all spoke of some happening a couple of blocks over…with police blocking off the intersection and re-routing traffic the long way around. Now I am thankful for my friends’ collective tardiness. I’d set bbq-time at 5pm. Most arrived around 5:30. [...]

Festivities

Saturday, July 6, 2002

The 4th annual 4th of July BBQ went well. It was an excellent day, overall. The weather was perfect. We had good company, good conversations, and good food. Guests were hugged and kissed repeatedly by the little man. Scrabble and Uno were played. Fireworks were viewed. And the mosquitoes were, for the most part, [...]

Hey Wait…

Wednesday, July 3, 2002

I’ve spent more time than usual working today. For the man. As you do sometimes. Sleep deprivation is getting to me and the Parker separation is excruciating. This is the third night in a row that I will have worked late, and next week promises more of the same. Sigh. To cheer myself up, [...]

Disorders Of Arousal

Tuesday, July 2, 2002

Oh yeah, went sleepwalking again last night. Though I didn’t get very far. Nor did I injure myself. Or others. Which could easily have happened. It was another suffocatingly hot night. I’ve got just the one window a/c unit upstairs. Decided the little man and I should have a slumber party in the computer [...]

Publication Day

Tuesday, July 2, 2002

What a productive lunch break. Several new finds to show for it. First of all, Coraline. I’d had my calendar marked for this day, but it just kinda sneaked on past…what with me refusing to believe it’s already July and all. But then I checked Neil Gaiman’s journal. Now I’ll have to head over [...]

Truth - Justice - Zod

Monday, July 1, 2002

An email list I’ve been on for a while has, deservedly, been accused of frequent intellectual masturbation. More often than not I just skim through the messages. Sometimes I outright ignore them. But occasionally the listmembers come through with worthwhile nuggets. I was thoroughly amused when I was directed to this site, devoted to [...]

Dancing Screaming Itching Squealing Fevered

Monday, July 1, 2002

Hot hot hot. Despite the heat, I can’t believe it’s July already. It’s officially summer. And a damned brutal one at that. Some sort of cosmic payback for the mild winter, I guess. So remind me again…why do I live in a place where the pavement buckles and blows up in the summer…and plumbing freezes [...]

The Kalends Of july

Monday, July 1, 2002

So where did June go? I sort of trailed off towards the end there…posting less frequently than I’d like. As life gets busier I have less time to comment on it. Leaving all kinds of juicy tidbits unremarked upon. Some topics have been blogged to death lately, but I always like to throw in [...]
