Woo! Got lots to update about. First off, I finally got some Halloween toys up on Etsy. In about three days, I managed to make ten jack-o-lantern balls. Kind of a crazy amount, but they really don’t take all that long, and since it’s not like I have much else to do beyond laundry and (supposed to be) cleaning. I think that most of the pictures turned out pretty decent. Here’s one Continue reading →

The past couple days have been filled with sporadic headaches. Generally I could attribute them to forgetting to eat, not having any caffeine in my system, or the weather fronts moving through. Yesterday’s, I believe, was due to all the time spent both on-line and on the phone. I spent the better part of an hour grumbling while taking office proficiency tests on-line for a local temp Continue reading →

Well, been a bit since I’ve updated. That happens. Lessee what’s been going on in the Doyle household. Friday night, Rook came over for some help with his economics homework. He and his group are making a miniature version of a theater, and he needed help making an arcade game and a popcorn machine. I’ve got the arts and crafts stuff and skill, so I helped him turn his design Continue reading →

K, well now that I’m back at the house and with my computer, I can ramble on about yesterday. Ian and I got up early (way too early for the two of us nightowls) and got dressed up before heading out to his parents’ house in LGT. We were meeting up with them because we were going to ride with them to the funeral home in Washington where Ian’s Great-aunt Irma was. She had Continue reading →

I can’t decide whether the temperature outside is nice or not. When I got up this morning around eleven (after going to bed around 7:30), I headed out for the post office. I decided to walk because it’s not even a mile away from here to there. At first, it felt pretty cool outside. Then as my unexercised corpse plodded along to the square, it felt a lot warmer (rather I felt a lot Continue reading →

After much confusion and debate, Ian and I decided that this is our wedding anniversary. How we keep forgetting, who knows. Oh wait! I know: this was an arbitrary date we picked for an arbitrary ceremony so the government would recognize us as a couple. Cynical much? Yeah. At any rate, this would be our… Seventh? No, sixth wedding anniversary. That sounds right. I think. Continue reading →

Not to so quickly push my prior post out of the way, but I had a few thoughts and wanted to blather a bit. At any rate, I dunno if any of you read the husband’s page, but he’s got a fun little debate going on in the comments of a few of his posts about politics (which is funny ’cause he’s really not all that political just like I’m not) and in response to some comments about libertarians Continue reading →

The internet was down all day today up until about an hour ago. Without the web, I couldn’t check my comics or webpage or anyone else’s webpages. I also couldn’t play WoW. Since I felt like playing a game, I installed the Sims again on my machine and started playing. Almost immediately, I wished I had the internet to download a patch that would keep the neighbor’s pets Continue reading →

Like the title? I thought about entitling this rant as “heel, toe!” as if ordering the toe to calm down, but I decided I liked “heal, toe!” better because the rant’s about my injured toe. Still, it’s funny, right? I mean, get it? Heel? Toe? Yeah, I guess I’m really about the only person around who’d get a kick out of even thinking about the play on words for a rant that only three or four people will Continue reading →
