Gettin' grouchy
1 day ago | Personal | Comment ?
I damn near broke a desk, pounding my fist in frustration, over a silly little ad. All I wanted to do was research a host on a popular forum and I simply could not search for it. Each time I would click the search box that stupid little ad would fly open. I’d click to close, try again and it would fly open again. It made me fucking nuts. A little ad on the web should not make me this angry. And I was angry.
I couldn’t do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it.
Eventually, I had to step away and take a good look at what was really going on — what it boils down to is: I want to use. Something. Anything. Just so long as there is plenty of it.

We dropped Amanda (or Pooh, or RnBMandy, or Manders, or whatever the hell she is calling herself these days) off at camp yesterday. A wonderful camp that we are all very happy — thank-you Christine — she fell into.
The downside: my baby girl looked so very small next to that big building.
Then we have Nicholas — who doesn’t call himself anything other than grouchy — who should be hanging himself from cliffs in Yosemite as I write this. But he’s not.

He managed to break his arm three days before summer vacation started. Effectively ruling out Outward Bound, and pretty much anything else, for the rest of the summer. So, he gets to spend the summer at home and at the doctors, playing video games and watching his sister pack.
I think I’d be grouchy too.

I really need to put something here. Something about myself, something about this site. Something.
Maybe right after I add site navigation... say, a week from never.
