I’m not very popular around here. It’s been dancing around in the 80’s these past few weeks, only dipping down in the 40’s overnight, and I’ve been WHINING ABOUT IT! Seriously, people, it’s September. It’s Fall. I should be putting away the Summer clothes and pulling out the warmer stuff. Long sleeves, cuddly fabrics, darkerContinue reading “Autumn!!!”

When Apples Attack!
I love my iPad. In fact, the only tech thing I have right now that I love as much AS my iPad, is my iPhone. And that’s saying a lot, considering the fact that I was a PC person from the start, and considering the fact that I try not to jump onto trends andContinue reading “When Apples Attack!”
Cheap Tweet
I miss Twitter sometimes. There, I said it. Yes, I deleted the App from my iPad months ago and stopped Tweeting altogether, but recently I’ve been missing it just a tad, and today, while reading an excellent Guide to Promoting Your eBook at Smashwords um … guide … I was reminded what a good andContinue reading “Cheap Tweet”
Oh Siri, I didn’t mean it !
Needless to say, I LURV my iPhone 🙂 Just like I Lurv my iPad. Only my iPad didn’t come with SIRI. Yes, yes, I know she’s not perfect. There’s a running gag on the radio: “Siri, tell my wife I’m leaving the gym.” “Texting your wife – You are sleeping with Jim.” But if youContinue reading “Oh Siri, I didn’t mean it !”
Kicking and screaming (with delight)
Hello 20th century ! Yes, I know it’s the 21st right now, but that’s how far behind the times I’ve been. UNTIL NOW! So the other day, my oldest sister was over, we were celebrating her birthday, and she shows us her brand new, husband-bought-it-for-her-birthday-present iPhone 4s. She’d had a crackberry for years, used itContinue reading “Kicking and screaming (with delight)”
What a dumb move
I’m one of those jerks you work with who never takes Leave, so it piles up and piles up and eventually I find myself in a Must Leave situation, where I’ve stored up the maximum allowable and have to use the remainder or give it up. That happened years ago, which was my plan allContinue reading “What a dumb move”
Randomosity
Every now and again I look up, gaze around, and am shocked to find I’m not the only person on the planet ! I know, right? Well it’s easier to concentrate on important stuff these days. I got rid of Twitter, so I’m not pissed off anymore when I realize everyone is busily bobbing aboutContinue reading “Randomosity”
You have to try these Teas
My sister and I went tea shopping the other day, to stock up on some staples. I was almost out of Lapsang Souchong and Darjeeling, she wanted more Lemon Lavender Mint. Then she spotted a couple of new ones that I hadn’t given a second look. Normally, I go for the earthy teas – teasContinue reading “You have to try these Teas”
Adjustments
I’m gradually getting used to the idea that I can’t just phone my Mother, or drive the 5 miles to her house to have dinner. It’s not easy, there are highs and lows, but I know that’s normal and it’s gonna be that way for quite some time. I’m also getting accustomed to using thisContinue reading “Adjustments”
What it’s really like
Have you ever read an obituary and seen the phrase “She died at home, surrounded by family and those she loved”? It sounds almost comforting, doesn’t it? Like a desirable way to go, if there were one. Lemme tell you what that’s really like. Friday, December 23rd. We were told by the Hospice nurses thatContinue reading “What it’s really like”
