Ah, my dear daughter…

So Rye calls me today from work to ask me something as that is our main from of communication this week. I am asleep when he goes to work at butt o’clock am and then I go to work before he comes home and he is asleep when I get home..anyway..he mentions to me that Scarlett has seen some election commercial on TV that has her all fired up. Apparently,…


Just bits…

So I was pleasantly surprised this AM to find that my blog piece on the grant money for South Dakota’s adoption awarness training was featured on “Sufingmama Blog Carnival”…lol..I forgot that I even sent it in! “Carnivals” are like a “best of blogging” kind of thing..but what is really, really important is exposure of the truth..so hopefully alot of other people will get to see it!! Of course, now I…


Itchy

I am plagued with the itchies. I have NO idea what it is. I have never had skin issues before, or allergies, or hives, or anything. I don’t have dry skin and the heating season has not come on us yet so I cannot blame the forces air heat for dying out both my skin and my bank account.

I fell..

DOWN!! At work last night..what should have been a quiet Tuesday night, especially with me working the patio..in October!..last week I had TWO tables all night… exploded in some random busyness.

New Country

One of the things that has taken this nation by storm is MySpace. I have the ability to say that I joined a million years ago, when it was new and not “everyone” and their brother was on the dern thing. Our fiend Murry was all about getting Rye and I to get on it, though we thought it was way lame at the time. Now of course, since then,…
