Not that I hold a grudge or anything

After yesterday’s experience with Midwest Airlines and their customer service I needed a little pick-me-up.
This editorial cartoon made my day:

So now we know the truth.  It’s all about the money, isn’t it?
Maybe Midwest Airlines should have offered me these options:

I think I would have pressed number 3.  (At least I’m honest.)
And last but not least:

Good news…

I didn’t paint this weekend, not a single room inside my home. 
I filled my time with another activity. 
I stained!  It’s not painting, it’s staining.  I should say “we” stained.  We: meaning our whole family.  Well, except for the cat.  I don’t think he would’ve been much help, and besides, the cat doesn’t accept cash, but the [...]

Science Geek?

Or is it possibly something more sinister?
These are the posters that are in my son’s room.
  Periodic Table of Elements
  A Current World Map
 Poster of the Solar System
His room is a beautiful dark royal blue.  He even has:

This is a popcorn ceiling.

I am not sane. 
I have painted [...]

There was a way to blog and reorganize my office at the same time. 
Since I should work on the office, I will leave you with this cartoon.  The fun haikus will give you a glimpse into the mind of a child. 

And just in case it cannot be read you can find it here.  Since we [...]

Telling it like it is.

My daughter is very good at this, and it started when she was quite young. 
Turning the clock back 7 years now to a summer when she was only 3 years old:
“Beppy,” as she fondly called herself back then, was born with a need for speed.  She loved to fly down the sidewalk on one of two [...]

Did I buy one of these?

Anybody want my writer’s block?  It’s really cramping my style.

Teacher Quiz

This is a quiz I found and thought it might give a few of you a good chuckle.
Are you a true teacher?  Take this quiz to find out!
1. Do you ask guests if they have remembered their scarves and mittens as they leave your home?
2. Do you move your dinner partner’s glass away from the [...]

And the words of the day are…

1. Disrespectment: Something disrespectful that causes embarrassment to another party. Example: According to my daughter “making fun of the president in a video game is disrespectment.”
2. Combinated: When a combination is combined. Example: According to my son “they were combinated to make the ultimate defense” (I’m sure he’s referring to a video game.)
3. Paradimensionalalienaphobia: This [...]

Don’t you hear it too?

Here’s the link to the comic on xkcd.
Why do people keep writing comics about me?  Why?  **giggle**

Thanks for being patient with me as I work through this technical stuff.
