Working weekend

The week slipped past faster than I thought it would… and yesterday was pretty much a blow-out for work since school was out and all. Oddly enough, I was in bed and asleep before 9.
Which is why I was awake at 4-bloody-30 this morning.
Ah well, I’m heading into some work stuff that was supposed to get done yesterday, and didn’t. At least one of us did something useful yesterday – Mel updated the reviewers list and did some guest post queries for Belfire while she was at her mother’s. …

A Prize in Every Can!

Overheard in my kitchen last night as we prepared Imbolc dinner: “You get a prize in every can!”
Care discovered the ‘ping-pong’ ball inside the Guinness. It’s actually called a widget, and has something to do with the can and the gases and the head…or some such. I wasn’t paying attention. All I know is it was funny as hell when she was watching the bubbles flow down the glass instead of up, while listening to the ball bounce around in the empty can… She seems to like the flavor of …

Late again… I’m thinking I should just move this blogdom thing over to Thursdays all together. :-/ No no… I just need to strengthen my resolve, or some such.
Anyway, this week is reflecting on six things I wish I’d never done. I think I’ve already pretty much covered that in other posts, haven’t I? Oh maybe not. Damn it. I can never find a way out of these other than to stop doing them, and I won’t do that. Pffft.
6) I wish I’d not have been so nasty and …

Scratch That…

Was it only one post ago that I lamented how quickly the time is passing, and how soon the girls would be moving out?
Scratch that. 18 months is not coming fast enough. I am really, dreadfully sick to death of the constant bickering and sniping. Rhia can’t open her mouth without Care jumping all over her, and vice versa, and gods forbid anyone ask anyone else for something, because the world will come to a bloody damn end.
If for just one day, we could work together instead of constantly …

Ten Weeks of Blogdom – Week Four

Thanks to a recent windstorm, I was without internet for a few days, so this is late. I was back yesterday, technically…
So, we’re now at week four. Today, I’m supposed to write about seven things that cross my mind a lot. I’ll have to say, they’re almost all Belfire, work or similarly related, and probably boring to most of you. Nevertheless, here we go, diving in… avoiding the really boring ones.
7) What it’s going to be like when the girls are gone – contrary to popular belief …
