Life in general and randomly

Mom and Dad came for a visit. We were running like crazy, I don't know why. My life is chaos, I guess. Even though we try to keep activities to a reasonable limit, and eat supper together almost every night, we still are going a hundred miles an hour with our hair on fire. Mark went to Panama this week (that's why he is in Airline Hell currently), Zach got his driver's permit, Dad had a birthday, Easter, and on and on and on. Mom and I got Dad some Benny Hill DVD's for his birthday. He was quite surprised...

Mom and I did manage to make a flannel quilt for Tess (I need to finish the machine quilting...) and a bedspread for my bed, the fabric for which is well-aged, having been laying around my bedroom for months. I am working on some blocks, bright bright colors, I just cut some fabric into six inch squares and started messing around with them. I think I know what I am going to do, but not 100% certain yet. Gotta finish more of them and play before I decide for sure.

I saw the doctor on Tuesday -- I am in remission, and get to FINALLY get off the prednisone in two weeks!!! 5 mg every other day for two weeks and then I am done. No more beach ball head for me! YAY!

You like me! You really really like me!

Or maybe you just find me horribly annoying and are about to let me know. Go ahead, I can deal.

So, whatever, you know, leave a message. Thanks!!!

Okay -- updating my profile because I never removed the guinea pigs from it, even though they have been elsewhere for months.

Um...new obsession (HA) the elliptical trainer in the garage. I hate the thing, but today I burned 395 calories. I know. I so wanted to burn 5 more to make it an even 400, but then I would be at 50 minutes and 19 seconds, so I would have to make that round out to an even 51 minutes, and then the mileage could be rounded up to a more even number, and then the calories would be just a few away from 450, but then I could do just a few more seconds, then another few hundredths of a mile, and so on until finally I would fall off, hit my head, end up in the hospital with another nasty concussion, and gain weight because I am bedridden. It was so much easier to just burn the 395 calories.

We moved from the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona to the almost Arctic of Anchorage. I like the winters of Anchorage better than the summers of Tucson, so far.

Still have three kids, the oldest one is a freshman at the U of Arizona (dang it, now I will have to edit this again in a few months), the other two live on Fort Richardson with me and the dogs and the husband.

Other obsessions...my camera, my IPod Touch, my sewing machine. Fabric. Definitely fabric. Dishes. It's a thing females in my family have, an obsession with dishes. Pottery, and earthenware. Silver, definitely. Not crystal and china though. I am not a big fan of the fussy and overly ornate, and both crystal and china tend to fall into those categories, to me. Plus if I have delicate dishware, then I can't have the kids wash the dishes or put it in the dishwasher.

Other than that, I weigh too much, sleep too little, am very liberal, rabidly pro-choice, find it insane this country does not have universal health care, and think the world may be a better place with Obama at the helm. Oh, yeah, and chocolate. Much much chocolate.
