Oh, my goodness. Redneck Wedding is freaking hysterical.

The heat is out in my apartment. It's not an emergency like it would be other places, but it's extremely uncomfortable. No likey.

(The cat, of course, is smug in his double-thick fur coat. Damn cat.)

Aw, poor K-Bug.

Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today.

It's coooold out there every day!

aw, man. I'm gonna have to be somebody's Fuckcake of The Day on Monday. Fucking tech companies and their fucking 'self-guided" tour things and...just, argh. But I promise I won't say that to the person that picks up. But Norton can kiss my crippled Irish ass with my next computer, I swear.

I guess the concept of the bowl is lost on me as my galley of a kitchen is always arms reach from the trash bin, so why make another dish to clean when you can drop stuff in the bin. I guess I could see it in a larger kitchen. Maybe some day I'll have one of those. :: sigh ::

Andi, does your mom fall, age-wise, into the "senior" bracket? The Cincy community centers have a lot of activities for seniors -- fitness, coffee hour, book groups, tax preparation, shopping trips, lunches, etc. -- and it looks to me like the Cleveland community centers do, too: [link] (scroll down to "Seniors Fifty and Fit*;" it's not all fitness-related -- it looks like there's various social activities, etc., too).

She's a bit further out from any of those locations, but I'd bet if I don't come up with a better search, I could call them and ask for referrals closer to her home. Plus if there is some kind of phone buddies system set up in the area, they would surely be able to put me in touch. Thanks for your help with the links, Teppy.

OMG, my body hates me. Full sneak communist attack. Blarg.

K-Bug and I went to Color-Me-Mine while the boys went to see I am Legend. I haven't painted pottery in over a year and forgot how relaxing it can be. I just have to remember not to go on a Saturday afternoon next time. Too many little kids. Get offa my lawn.

I have it on right now! And if my primary computer hadn't just commited suicide...see tech if you have any experience with eMac death...it would be FG!

Thanks Sparky. Walking with Sassy on the Mall sounds fun. More fun than hiding from the snow. I think that the cold wouldn't have been so bad if I had thought of taking asthma meds earlier. Oh, well. It's all a learning experience, right?! A learning experience made much easier by all the help here.

I have broken down the boxes in my second bedroom. Now I just need to empty the boxes that are still full.

And I went to the grocery store (and spent too much money). And made cupcakes. And chex mix. And played Scrabble (a friend came over). Later we will go out to dinner, and dancing. Yay.

Tomorrow people will come over for the Superbowl, and I can continue to work my denial muscles up until late on Sunday night when I go "huh...I guess I *don't* have to get up in the morning..."
