      • yet another band?
        02/22/15
        Well it appears that I may have a third band. It depends on the interest that we get from others, but there may be a return of Crystalfish, one of my more successful and fun previous bands. Crystalfish had a following in the early '00s and played a great deal as a cover project, mostly in the O

      • Holy crap, Chloe is back to school!
        08/13/14
        Wow, Chloe started 2nd grade this morning. Time really does move quickly with regard to children growing older.... Everything else goes at the same pace, but she grows faster than I ever expected. I am unemployed at the moment, looking for the right job at the right place so that I don't have t

        This is the Sears & Roebuck catalog page showing the standard version of the kit for the house that i used to own at 174 Grove Avenue in OND. Great Stuff!

      • Screaming bunnies
        08/21/13
        I've been disturbed lately by my cats attacking the baby bunnies in my yard. Bunnies have the most blood-curdling screams when under attack, it's surreal. You can't stop hearing it even after the screaming stops. And they're so cute and soft and it makes me so sad when Midnight a

        04/05/13
        I've had a headache non-stop for three days because of all these little golden Lindt bunnies all over the house. They're delicious and velvety and creamy ... and my insulin-resistance means that they make me feel awful. Why can't i resist them?!?!?!?!

        So the men from Reload (reloadcincy.com) called me yesterday and may need me to replace Cindy. Her health has been getting worse. I feel so badly for her! Let's keep it hush hush though, it's not a done deal.

      • The ex posted something nifty
        04/03/13
        My ex husband posted an entry on a Facebook Dayton Musician's group page that I found thought-provoking. He complains of the lack of "scene" in the area and the ensuing conversation points out that both bands and venues are failing in their promotional duties. Bands arent self-promoti

        03/11/13
        So the hallway where i just painted all the trim is the smallest little section of my house .... it links three rooms and two closets together and the five doors had to be painted, along with the casing and floor base with show molding ... and i also extended my paintign to the baseboard and show mo

        ...you get up and work on some obscure .asp code? I did that last night. glad i did actually. although i didn't fix the problem with the program i was working on, i went to bed and had weird dreams about SQL connection strings. when i woke up, i knew exactly what the problem was, even though i

        11/08/12
        Yeah I know, two blog posts in as many days... who is this and what has she done with Jane? The cats have relaxed a little. Thank goodness. Midnight woke me up probably a dozen times last night and it's showing on me today. Trying to stay out of sight because the bags under my eyes make it look

      • Poor kitty!
        11/07/12
        I feel so sorry for FluffHeart and Midnight. They both had surgery Monday, both were "fixed". Midnight is taking it much harder, being older and a male accustomed to roaming about freely. The pain medication they take is nearly gone now so i hope they are both going to be OK when it's

      • lies etc
        09/11/12
        I spent most of the spring and summer being deceived, and in each case it was by people I trusted. When someone lies to you, it takes a little bite out of your faith in humanity. So it's wrong to lie for a few reasons. You dont just cause bad feelings between you and the person to whom you have

        03/14/12
        I've broken out the Suzuki and rode her twice so far this spring, once Sunday and once yesterday evening. Saw a biker at the damn and i couldn't wave because i was at the stop sign and had my hand on the clutch, but i smiled real big and he smiled real big right back. I could tell he was t

        I don't think this first skin graft has "taken" at all. It moves around too much to stick, if you can envision that.

      • AWESOME!
        02/27/12
        I have just the best friends and co-workers in the world. My boss Julie Sprinkel, the Practice Manager at DSI, found me an oven and a dishwasher for my new house. Then the next day my FORMER boss Mike Minnich from NetGain Information Systems just up and GAVE me his washer and dryer. Those items, alo

        02/23/12
        It's not feeling so great since yesterday when they removed the vacuum. Dr. Garg did some work on the still-deep lower wound and it really hurt, i think there is some left over pain from that work. and the super-fragile graft he applied yesterday can't possibly be staying in one spot, it&#

        Well I decided to start blogging here about my recovery from my knee injury because so many people have been asking me about it. Often!

        Some history is in order first:

        Our company Christmas party (I work at DSI, a GI practice with several offices in the Dayton area) was on the

        It's dorky I know, but i am really looking forward to launching the new DSI/DECL SharePoint 2010 server. It's a big project and a change in internal corporate paradigm. My favorite kind of project! Got a book about 3" thick on Server 2008 R2 and another book about 2" thick just a

        I have decided to sing again. I know a lot of my friends will be pleased to hear this but it does mean a long hard slog to get my old girl body back into shape. i also need to find a reliable babysitter! Any volunteers?

        10/18/11
        well, was going to play EQ tonight but got logged in and realized my sore throat was going to be really annoying. logged out of the game and left myself in my guild's ventrilo channel to hear some friendly voices.

      • wow that's a lot of road
        10/18/11
        I went to four out of the six branches of my company today. Lots of driving and lots of hardware. The sky looked so amazing in Springboro around 1pm, my jaw fell open and i stared up for probably five minutes (fortunately i wasn't driving at the time).

        09/28/11
        I started my new job today. I was around ADULTS all day, it was uncanny. I didn't tell anyone to take their hat off or put their shirt on and I didn't ONCE have to tell anyone to pipe down or put away their phone. It was really weird. And quiet. I liked it a lot even with the lingering sen

        09/22/11
        So i cleaned out my desk at OIC today. I'm kind of ambivalent about leaving. Sure there are problems among the staff but where is that NOT true? But really the thing that i will miss is all my kids. i love the kids. :/
