various things
Posted Jan 8, 2004
For one, I can't believe it's been about a year since that Winter Meet last year..my goal is to be in England in time for the summer meet. Sad that I won't see Blues in his long coat though..pity. There's always the next winter meet I suppose 
.
Just when I was wondering if perhaps Joseph would stop having asthma trouble, he gets a virus and is back on the nebulizer treatments. He's definitely one to keep me on my toes. Oh oh, apparently when he went to bed last night (I was still at work) he told Grandma to make sure 'his baby' came in to give him a kiss when she got home 
.
Nyssa on the other hand has been creeping me out by calling me mother. 
Work is ok..learning the management thing.
I'm trying to con James into getting me a new website hosted. It's always seemed to me a pity that there doesn't seem to be a centralized spot for organizations to get the word out about protests, meetings, etc. etc. Basically, in the infancy of the site (since I have little time), I would maintain a big ol' events calendar. What do you think? And how about a name? I was thinking like causehub.net or something.
Jamie seems to be enjoying being busy with a new online job. That would be why he rarely posts here (that's what I tell myself anyway . If you need him, he's most likely lurking on slashdot or userfriendly

Not something I say frequently..

...but I wish I had HBO. 
They're going to be showing a screen adaptation of Angels in America (both parts - 6 hours) starring Meryl Streep and Al Pacino. Ah well. There's always Survivor and Hollywood Squares on CBS

The jagular is going to get me..

...either he or some other phantom trouble. Shadowboxing is a funny thing; for all that it's an exercise (ha) in futility, I still keep pounding away. Too bad too.

The cute report.
Posted Dec 2, 2003
Well you know kids - they say the cutest things. But mine even more so because they are the best most smartest children in the whole buzz lightyear planet universe and then that all!!!
Anyway, Nyssa this evening was cuddling with me, and out of the blue says, "Manna," (hybrid she made up of 'Lanna' and 'Mamma,' and aint that the cutest f*cking thing you ever did hear? 
"when you were a baby and I was a grown-up you were in my tummy, and when James Daddy was a baby he was in Joseph's tummy!"
Not to be outdone, at bedtime Joseph sang a very *very* long impromptu lullaby to his 'babies.' A few days ago he found three beanie baby sized animals - a koala, a kitty, and a bear - and used his little train engineer hat as a makeshift pack/bed for them and started referring to them as his babies, and has been quite nurturing to them. His lullaby was themed along the lines of 
'Lullaby, pleeeease go to sleeeeeep my babies, I will proteeeeect you' and would add in verses like, 'don't worry, I will not let the jaguar get you,' or 'mooommmy, you can touch one baby if you're caaaareful,' (eventually my patience was rewarded with my being allowed to touch each baby once ). Then he cuddled up next to his hat o' babies and was ready for sleepies. Well, after trying to lecture me about precisely how much light was needed in his room so his babies wouldn't get scared. If that isn't projection, I don't know what is . He's gotten quite a lot of verbiage to back up his quick-to-be-indignant little personality. Today at dinner he was trying to tell me that he didn't like the skin on his roasted potatoes. I was only half-listening and kept telling him to just eat his dinner. Finally he raises his voice a bit and says, 'Mommy, will you just listen to me for a minute please?!' Hehe..don't know where he's heard that before 
. It's also funny how moralistic he's become. Going to visit his Mormon relatives in Boise, he told them that they shouldn't eat turkey or fish, and when he came back, told me that I should pray to heavenly father. Once again, I had to break out the 'people make choices' speech. 
At least he listens and observes enough to pick these ideas up.
Oh yeah, passed the drug test, I did. I'll start work on Monday. In the meantime, I need to pester my mom to buy some more yeast, because baking bread has been my current method of keeping the demons at bay, so to speak. I must say, I'll be very glad to not have to work in food service. Imagine! Having my hair down if I want. Imagine! Not having to boil my hands every two minutes (I was invariably the most annoyingly scrupulously clean waitress in a 50 mile radius). I'll just try not to think about the tip income I won't be getting. Mostly it will be nice to get to wear clothes that I wouldn't take anywhere near a restaurant kitchen.

My website...
Posted Nov 29, 2003
...seems to be password protected.
At least we're getting cable internet again this week, so when my website is finally accessible, it won't take an hour to load . It *is* a little image-heavy. I think when I'm sufficiently inspired, I'll create a site called something like truncated.jeremiad.org. Or maybe..appendication. Seeing as it would be an add on site that I would actually..add to occasionally. That would be the idea anyway.
I have to get up for training tomorrow (though apparently the drug test results aren't in yet). 'twill be a jolly time of learning where to stack NY Times bestsellers, and how to deal with irate video renters who disagree with the assessment of late fees on their accounts. And of course how to document loss of inventory in the childrens section due to toddler nibbling.
Other than that...my pickles come home on Sunday! 
. I physically ache when they're not with me. And the roads to Boise and so d*mned bad this time of year. You can imagine how a bondocks, mountainous state in the *US* feels about road maintenance . Cross your fingers for my babies' safe return .
