Kristin! My friend L. and I were just talking about you a couple of hours ago. She and her husband M. saw you and Drew over New Year's, and she said, "They look so happy together. Just so happy. And Drew looks much better than he used to. Handsomer, or less sloppy. I'm not sure. But so much better than before Kristin."

Awwwww! Thanks for telling me. You made my day.

Sent a message.

Gah! Earworm!

...Sent a message up the hill,

Asking for the buried treasure,

Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,

"With our brothers we will share

All the secrets of our mountain,

All the riches buried there."

Ah... the song that inspired an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man.

IKEA. we met my DS and BIL there. We had no plans to buy. Goodbye 100.00 dollars. WE also have a list of stuff that we will probbably want in the future. and a couch in the future .

I finally figure out why December was a better than usual month. we bought nothin gfor the house.

Actually, I am very happy with the light fixture we bought. and the wall mount magazine holders.

Oh my gods, One Tin Soldier. I haven't heard that song in ... wow, I don't even know.

The doctor has had my mom on a low dose of Prednisone for over a year, to keep her lupus vasculitis symptoms under control.

I don't think I've ever heard of lupus vasculitis! Learn something new, as they say. And yeah, a low dose is optimum.

Soooo embarassed to admit how many times I saw iBilly Jack!

Mom just learned a sad truth. Calling me after I caught part of a Lifetime movie will lead to me telling her how to have affairs with her friend's sons. With names. Cause I know her. Turned her into a stammery thing. It was fun. She started telling me how this artist guy is soooo cool, basically. Which, he is. And I know this because I went to school with him. Poor stammery mom...

Oh, and she's putting a new roof on the house.

And considering flooring. Eternally.

[Yeah, she'd hate knowing some of the things I will talk about on the interwebs.]

"It's never lupus." What? I'm a House fan. It's what we do.

tiggy, is anyone doing construction around your house or work? Have you been close to where someone is getting a new roof? Those nails can sometimes linger for MONTHS as our roofers a couple years ago managed to leave a few in our yard and the street.

I hate flat tires.

Mmm...after a little troubleshooting our ancient printer, it appears to be kaput. It was free and it's at least 7 years old so I won't complain but still. I hate the thought of replacing it. But we really do need a cheap printer around the house for directions, DH's work, etc.

unfortunately work is right next to railroad tracks and CSX is constantly out there working on it and leaving behind little gems. plus, we have a gravel driveway and that's just a breeding ground for every possible tire slashing thing out there.

i've probably had 3 or 4 flats since i started working there. back in october, when i had the other one, 4 other people had flat tires that month too. it's ridiculous, but the boss won't pave the whole driveway and getting the CSX guys to clean up after themselves is apparently asking too much.
