It’s creepy; trust me.
Wednesday, October 30th, 2002So anyway, imagine this. It’s 7:30am. You go into your son’s room to wake him up and to start his day. He’s lying in his crib, on his stomach, but his head’s up, he’s awake, and babbling the way toddlers babble.
And then you see the big smear of blood on the crib [...]

He rocks so totally.

I don’t think so; I used a bunch of change to buy [...]
The day is done, the sun is down
Wednesday, October 23rd, 2002I went to Jo-Ann’s tonight to get some red fabric to line Otto’s Dracula cape (which I am making this weekend, really!). Anyway, I picked up a bolt of red lining fabric, and Otto immediately wanted to hold it, so I let him, preparing myself for the tears and screaming when I had to [...]

Tuesday, October 15th, 2002Ah, Dream House. A good end for a long day. :^) Richard and Tanya and Steven (their newborn son) Landry and their 11,000 square foot house. Who the @(#*&)(@*& needs a 11,000 square foot house? I mean, sheesh. That’s like over 7 times the size of our house. Yipes.
I’ve [...]
nanowrimo
Monday, October 14th, 2002I think instead of doing nanowrimo this year, I’m going to try and write a 120 page screenplay in November. I had an awesome idea last night, and during the day I’ve been fleshing it out more. It’s much easier for me to write screenplays these days than fiction, so I think that’s [...]
aw yeah!
Saturday, October 12th, 2002Mamma Mia! can be summed up in four words:
OH MY FRICKIN’ GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had an INSANELY good time. Insanely.
Can I go again next week?
oops.
Tuesday, October 8th, 2002Note to self: when complaining to your sister about how your domain name hasn’t propagated yet, make sure you’ve actually ORDERED the domain name.
Gimme 3 more days. Promise!
I think he’s on crack.
Tuesday, October 8th, 2002Mr. Whitney said this to me yesterday:
“I got home and had an hour to relax before you came home with Otto. I wasn’t going to do anything, just sit out on the porch and look through my furniture books. I went up to the bathroom and rehung the toilet paper holder while I [...]
stuff
Monday, October 7th, 2002I am sitting up in our spare room typing this. I had to print out more receipts for daycare, and we’ve got the printer upstairs since there is absolutely no room on my desk for a pin, much less a printer, so up here it is.
Not much is going on. Otto [...]
Swiffer, I heart you!
Saturday, October 5th, 2002Thank God for the Swiffer.
Otto has been playing with it for the last hour and a half – pushing it all over the first floor. I’m getting stuff done in the meantime, and the floors are getting (somewhat) clean.
Hee hee!
Friday, October 4th, 2002Yesterday, I was transcribing a letter for George. He was giving two sets of tickets to a client for a silent auction they were having. Two for The Lion King and two for Mamma Mia! in Toronto.
I went into his office with the letter and my best puppy-dog eyes, saying “Is there any [...]
I’ve joined the 20th Century.
Friday, October 4th, 2002I bought my very own domain name!
I want to get something up there before I announce the address, so hopefully by the end of the weekend I’ll at least have a “hi, this is me” message there.
I also am contemplating Moveable Type, since you can categories entries which I think is really cool.
A few days’ entries
Friday, October 4th, 2002Tuesday
Itís Tuesday. It needs to be Friday.
The high temperature today is supposed to be 86. WTF? This is October, this is ìshuffling around in the fallen leaves wearing a warm sweater and jeansî weather, not ìswelter in shorts and t-shirtî weather! We started doing Cider Runs two weeks ago! Dammit, I [...]
argh argh
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2002I would give my right arm for a Mike’s Hard Cranberry Lemonade right about now.
(And yes I’m aware that since I’m left handed, that’s not as much of a sacrifice as it might be for someone else.)
