Tomorrow is
Valentines Day! Wheeeee!
I just finished shopping for my husband and it was truly delightful - our 14 years of marriage has given us a great sense of comfortableness and enjoyment, not to mention a healthy appreciation of each’s other’s, ahem, sensual potential. I can’t post what I got him yet, […]

Morning everyone,
It’s been awhile, I know….but two days ago I was seized with an insane desire to bring Owlbert out of retirement!
Known as the Commander of Clarity, Owlbert’s site will be dedicated to identifying trends before the rest of the world does, thus giving readers the edge over their friends and colleagues.  He’s written […]

Morning,
Today as I dropped off my kid at the gym’s child watch, I heard something that made my heart smile.
My kid had forgotten to bring in his toy car in with him, and realized that after we entered the child watch place. Now, it was about a bazillion degrees below zero outside, so […]

Morning,
Who among us doesn’t remember the joys of configuring Windows for Workgroups 3.11? Or perhaps Microsoft Windows 95? Want to take a trip down memory lane?

Old Software Downloads

But don’t let the joy stop there - there’s also

Microsoft Windows 1.03 and other tools, 1985

Tandy Computers

You are in a maze […]

Morning,
Are you fed up, like me, with kids who can only speak or write in chatspeak?
Kids whose grammar consists of 99% “like you know” and 1 percent…actual intelligent conversation?
I know I am! Chatspeak is utterly banned in my household. In many cases, today’s generation writes on a level that wouldn’t be accepted […]

Omigosh, what a day.
With the exception of my beloved p90x, I worked straight for hours and hours. I’m currently building a community site that’s written in PHP (I know nothing about PHP) and I had to integrate PHP modules in specific formats.
In other words, I had to:

Configure the site
Figure out what needed to […]

It’s always ‘way smart
when one listens to their bodies…and takes it easy to the xtreme.
Okay, true, I did get my P90x workout in, but besides that, I gave myself permission to take a nap in the morning, nix going to the gym, and enjoy some nice calm work online.
But the thing that really made […]

One of the nicest things
you can give your spouse/family/friends/etc. is a great massage. And it’s even better if you can make your own signature massage oil to use with it!
I was reminded of this…because I just ran out of my latest batch this morning. So I had to whip up another batch, […]

Morning,
Today I awakened
and realized, my gosh, I feel like I’ve been run over by a herd of elephants followed by 17 steamrollers followed by a horde of toddlers who spied the FREE ICE CREAM! sign at their local preschool followed by….
So I made myself a huge breakfast, sat down, and took stock of my […]

Boy, I really miss sparring.
At karate today, I saw some sparring going on, and wow oh wow, did I want to participate.
Thing is, though…after 8pm I’m generally comatose, and adult sparring is from 8:15pm to 9:15pm.
No sparring during the day.
With my work schedule, it would require a change of my sleeping/working out/etc. time to […]
