A very different and fun game night was had into the wee hours of this morning (check out the post time). Megan and I made our way to visit with some of my many new Village Players friends and play some Star Trek and James Bond Scene It with a little Trivial Pursuit thrown in. […]

Our new bird is so cute! Not having parakeets for years has made me forget how pleasant they are to have around. JJ chirps and sings, and even when he’s quiet, he’s adorable to look at. My husband (who is not known for his patience anyway) mentioned the other day that he’s having trouble with
It came quickly, but my laptop screen died. I wasn’t sure exactly what happened but there was a quick blackout of the screen. I now have my laptop attached to an external screen. After doing a quick search, I think what the problem is. Either the backlight or the inverter are going bad. They might

Last week I really could have used a Thursday night pick-me-up from my favorite show, The Office, but alas, no new episode. I was sure I couldn’t be disappointed two weeks in a row, but this week’s ep is also a re-run! Then I started thinking about how it’s been in the news lately that

Since I was unable to deliver it vocally, I will post it for posterity. I would like to first thank everyone in the three shows I was in for making me feel so welcome this past year. I want to thank all my directors; Virlyn, Beth, and Travis. I want to thank everyone sitting at
Tonight was the annual banquet/awards for the Village Players. Someone once thought that the awards were known as the Hickies. Personally, I would change the name right away (“I got a Hickie…where’s yours?”). Presently, they are known as the Villies. I must say that I believe my table of family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed the

Today was Aunt Carol’s memorial service. It was really difficult but a very nice way for friends and family to gather to celebrate fond memories and the long, hard fought battle she waged for a remarkable 7 years (even more remarkable knowing that her original diagnosis was 5). We arrived at the funeral home around

As you might have read in an earlier blog post, I received a pet store gift certificate for Christmas from my husband. Today I spent it – I picked out the newest member of our family – JJ the parakeet! When you adopt a pet parakeet from a pet store, the workers have to barge
Another tangents’ blogger made comments on reading the Harry Potter series. I am currently reading a series by a different author. I’m reading “The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant” again. While I know that some people don’t like reading a long series in succession, that is usually my goal. I like to finish the story. I

It took two nights, but we finally made it through the sci-fi 80’s thriller, The Abyss. What is with me and all the science fiction lately? Not usually my cup of tea; I guess I’ve just been enjoying a change of scenery. One reason for wanting to watch the Abyss is that I was very
