You know, it would be nice to be the kind of person who could sometimes do or say things *without* regretting them. I think that would be on my top three list of wishes :) Just to turn off a part of my brain.

It's really freakin cold out. I've been wearing the Prisoner scarf because it is a lot more effective than any knitted scarf we own. Knitted things have holes in them, hello? :)

Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »

My weekend

Hmm well I hope this post is appearing in my blog, maybe I am a bit confused by the changes. I was worried we would have a bad weekend, because we had no DVDs from Netflix or the library, and our AC isn't working and it's been really hot.

So we had our all-time record flood and it has dropped almost 6 feet since then but now they are saying there is going to be a second crest of the river even higher than the first sometime in April.

Don't go computer shopping at 6 AM...

I headed out to Walmart at 6 AM on Saturday, looked at the stats of the various computers,. Go »
