I have a quiet evening here, finally, but I have so many scattered thoughts tumbling around in my brain that I cannot form any of them into a cohesive post. So… just natterings, then! I visited my ex-husbands Facebook page today (I don’t believe I have him “friended”, though we are friendly) and came across [...]

I’ve just started my second year at the University of Phoenix, Axia (or junior college) division, so I thought it would be a good time to give my opinion of the school. There is a lot of information out there, and potential misinformation, and I might as well add to it, no? Bottom line: so [...]

Well. We’re still here! I’m not sure why except that maybe my server ( www.site5.com – with whom I’ve been a faithful customer for 4 or 5 years) has decided to add to their general awesomeness by giving me a few days more grace period? That’s the only thing I can figure out because if [...]

Gah, I have a familiar song going through my head that refuses to identify itself. Why don’t computers have ears? How perfect would it be if, instead of pulling your hair out in frustration, you could just hum a few bars into the computer mic and have it come up with the correct name? Also, [...]

I need to pay the server bill but I won’t have the spare money until next week sometime, so after tomorrow my sites will probably be down for a day or two. Not that anyone will notice all that much difference, since I have been in Bad Blogger mode for the past week or two [...]

The one I have isn’t mine, you know. Or, it is for all legal intents and purposes – it’s on my driver’s license and leases and all that type of stuff. Not to mention my website. But it’s still not mine – the last part of it, anyway. It’s my ex-husband’s. I didn’t change my last [...]

Although, lately, I’ve been mostly leaving stuff alone and just puttering around here, on this site. I am not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. A good thing at the moment, I think – but a bad thing in the long run if it means that I’ve just lost interest in [...]
