Not The Carpet Capital For Nothing 03.07.10

Mom Is Doing Amazing 02.22.10

It’s hard to believe that a week ago tomorrow, I was fairly convinced that we were going to lose mom either entirely, or at least how we’ve always known her to be.
Her surgery was at 7:30 on Tuesday morning, and they actually didn’t get started until 9:30 because they were trying to get her knocked [...]

Update On Mom 02.04.10

Mom is doing as well as to be expected right now.  She spends most of the evenings when we get home from work laying on the couch to ease her headaches.  It seems as though her headaches are becoming more frequent, and I would imagine it would be from any growth that may be occurring [...]

LOST Season 6 02.02.10

Season 6 premiers tonight, and I’ll without a doubt be watching it.  I’m sad to see the series wrapping up, but can’t wait to see how they pull it all together for the finale.  I’d eventually like to buy the entire series and watch it again without any hiatuses between seasons.

Tiny Snowman 01.29.10

We got just enough snow today to have work canceled around lunch time because the roads were becoming so slick and icy.  I told the ladies at work as we left for lunch, jokingly, that we were going to go out and make a snowman.  Since work ended up being canceled, and we did end [...]

Cat In A Box 01.23.10

My cat must find a sense of security and safety by hiding out in baskets or boxes around the house.  This is a picture of her that I found on my camera that I took a couple of months ago.  She will usually find a box and make it her hangout for a while, so [...]

Conan’s Farewell Speech 01.23.10

I’ve enjoyed watching Conan O’Brien bash NBC with their much deserved bashing over the past week or so, and especially after enjoying those moments I hate to see him get screwed out of his show.  It’s going to be interesting to see who he signs on with next and where he goes from here.  But [...]

Icy Roads Today 01.08.10

It’s pretty obvious by looking at the road closure map, that we never get enough ice or snow to really make preparing for any really worth it.  The way it usually works is if they call for anything, we get nothing.  It’s really not that much different for what we got yesterday evening.  We only [...]

Explosions Last Night 12.30.09

Last night we heard and felt some explosions, but had no idea what it was.  We wasn’t sure if it was an accident or what, but from the way it felt, we imagined it being something less than a mile away.  My dad guessed that it was dynamite somewhere, but we couldn’t think of anyplace [...]
