A Barrel of Nelsons

So, I haven’t been saying much lately about adoption stuff. That’s ’cause I haven’t got much to say.
Well that’s not entirely accurate.
I mean I’ve got lots that I could say, but I don’t for whatever reason. There are some topics I leave well enough alone because I’m well aware that I’m not an expert. There’s [...]

Okay, I haven’t really been inspired lately, I’ve got half-posts in my head, but not real posts, so I thought I’d give you all an update. And by all I mean the 3 of you that might look here every week or so.
What I’m Driving
So after the smash, crash, and it’s-a-total-here’s-some-cash deal with the un-named [...]

We saw Hellboy 2 last weekend. Not bad, not over-the-top great. That’s my vote.
I love comic book movies (or at least the concept of them). My dad’s a bit of a comic book geek, without having or spending a bunch of money on it. I remember him watching the cartoons when I was younger… X-Men [...]

Someone on a forum recently said she bookmarked my blog and couldn’t wait to read it. So I figured that I should probably post or something like that, eh? (Also, welcome any new readers… and old readers, regular readers, infrequent readers, readers who know me in real life, and readers who Googled something and ended [...]

So today is that day. Mother’s Day.
I just sent e-cards to my mom and Sara. Mom got a Maxine-based one since Maxine is her “thing.” And she got a cute cat one from the “Grandkitties.” Sara got a kitchen based one.
I’m going to call my grandma later, because not only is today Mother’s Day, tomorrow [...]

I’ve got nothing much to say.
They called this morning and my car is totaled. Everybody says, it’s great that I wasn’t hurt and then proceed to lecture me on what I was doing wrong. As if I’m not hard enough on myself already. As if I don’t know what kind of tragedy this is, and [...]

I think I should start with some sort of apology for the punch-drunk-babbling-whackiness that was my last post. If it didn’t make sense, don’t worry, I’m not sure it was supposed too.
I’m up at 6:30 a.m. when I didn’t want to wake up until 7:00 a.m. and haven’t been sleeping well, so the thought (and [...]

No. Really.
Frustrated and Angry. Frustrated and Sad. Frustrated and Punching Something…
It’s about all sorts of stuff.
My job. Dinner. My weight. My sinuses. The people I work with. The people I deal with who all believe that deadlines don’t apply to them. And then want to whine at me when the newsletter is late.
Work has been [...]

I don’t know V. I’ve never met her. Other than the stuff I’m about to post about and the basic information in the church records, I know very, very little about her.
Her mom is one of the more influential women in the church. Both her parents and her younger brother are talented vocalists, and [...]

Like I mentioned before, I’m starting to ease back into gaming as well as other things. I really do see this as a positive turn.
But it’s got me to thinking.
Way back when I was still pregnant and we were still talking to an agency about possibly placing through them, I can say that gaming was [...]
