It’s day 8 of the roof construction. We were told it would take 2 weeks. We knew it would be a major disruption. We know the crew is working as hard as they can around the Texas weather. That said, I’ve got to vent. This is a whiny post. You have been warned. I’m so

How My Day Is Going
I have not one but technology-related professional crises on my hands. Two! This is me today. Bleargh.
Yarn Love: Expect the Unexpected
Gordon collects action figures. (Please don’t send him any. He already has pretty much everything.) When a new package arrives to the house, he almost always informs me that the purchase is a “preorder.” As in, it wasn’t a recent splurge, but something that was paid for long ago. I don’t care if it’s preorder

The God of Falling Short
This Tuesday Gordon and I had an interview with a senior media relationship coordinator of Western Carolina University. Gordon graduated from there with a BA in History and a minor in Political Science. I didn’t graduate – my scholarship was cut and I couldn’t afford to go – but I did attend for a bit.

Texas: Hold My Beer
Texas: Hey you know how you and Gordon sometimes wax poetic about moving to Australia, with beautiful beaches and nice hot weather, and random wildlife that tries to murder you? Me, rubbing my eyes first thing in the morning: Mhm. Texas: Don’t go. I love you. Look, I’m really trying. I made this just for

A Trip to Sams
Yesterday we went to Sams. About 3 weeks ago my father informed me during a Skype call that a routine scan found “3 dots” in his lungs. Nobody knew what they were. The dots could have been masses or something else. This was very alarming because Grandfather died of lung cancer. He also smoked unfiltered

Bossy BDH
How to bring out the bossy side of BDH: tell them you are planning a vacation. You guys kill me. It’s humid! There are bugs. There are cars. Y’all have never seen Canyon Lake exit during summer, when it’s backed up for 5 miles down I-35. Hehe. Sadly it is quite humid where we are

Writing Hours
Over on the Facebook fan group, a wonderful person named Sharon explored the Hidden Legacy Houston and took videos and pictures. I particularly loved Sharon’s video of the Arboretum, where she found the exact bench where Nevada and Adam Pierce met. I wish there was a YouTube video so I could link it. But if

Texas Storms
Had a horrible night last night. First, I had a nightmare that I was being chased by a giant monster through some ruins. I woke up because I was breathing too hard and looked at the clock. I’d only slept for a couple of hours. Then Sookie, the elderly bulldog, starts hyperventilating and craws onto

Poorly and Stupid
In 1861 Charles Darwin wrote a letter to Charles Lyell, a Scottish geologist, who besides his many scientific contributions, also advocated the use of geological surveys and explained the cause of earthquakes. Darwin, of course, brought us the first version of the theory of evolution, fundamentally altering the entire field of biology and irrevocably influencing

How We Become Our Parents
I’m having a really frustrating day. SPF/DCIM authentication is an evil torture, created to make people go nuts, and I’m sticking to that story. I think I might be getting dumber. Braining seems to be more difficult, especially when it’s something that’s not in my typical wheelhouse. Or maybe it’s just the lack of sleep.

Closet Questions
This weekend I bit the proverbial bullet and tackled my closet. I hadn’t cleaned my closet in 5 years. It doesn’t seen to bad until you consider that when we moved, I simply transferred the hangers from one house to the other. Some of my clothes were so old, they could’ve gotten their own driver
