The Tornado

Nope, that?s not some war-torn third world country, that?s Cabbagetown in Downtown Atlanta, taken last night after a tornado tore through there. Cabbagetown seems to be hit the worse, partially because it was the main residential area to be hit (The Dome/CNN Center got hit hard as well – during a basketball game at the Dome). Up here in Buckhead got some tree debris thrown around, but nothing other than that, thankfully. I feel for

An Exercise in Patience

This is the first year that I have to get an emissions test on the Equinox, and man, the day I?ve had? Yes, I?m the slacker that waited until the week prior to my birthday to remember that I needed an emissions test, but I didn?t know that it would take me going to four different emissions stations to be able to finally have the certificate saying that I passed. See, there?s this software update

The Flu Invades

I seem to only be able to post here when Elizabeth?s sick lately, and I?m not sure why. The Flu has invaded Elizabeth?s Kindergarten class, and she?s been out of school since Monday afternoon when we were asked to come and get her. When I spoke to the lady in the office, she said that there were already 6 other kids out in just Elizabeth?s class that day. What sucks about this whole thing was

It?s Thursday, right?

The Bad – Elizabeth is home from school today because she woke up in the middle of the night with some stomach bug, which is currently wreaking havoc on her system. The Good – BabyDaddy gets to stay home with her and I get to go to work, missing out on all the puke-tastic fun. The Good – I got my delicious Green LG enV yesterday. The Bad – I went to call Elizabeth?s school

The Haves and the Have-Nots

I was off of work on Friday because they?ve laid a moratorium on overtime at Big Ol? Company, so while I was doing the dishes that have been glaring at me over the week, I saw that BabyDaddy got dropped off from being in NC all week. Him getting dropped off from the work truck isn?t the best news, I?ve come to realize, because he got laid off. All of their field guys got laid

WP Gurus Needed

I futzed around yesterday, trying to recover my archives, and while I think I might still have my old MT entries somewhere on the old laptop, I think everything since I made the switch to WordPress (whenever that was, because I can?t really look it up right now, can I?) is gone. Or at least, not bloody well accessible to me. I keep getting a 500 error every time I try and access any of

GAHHHH!

So yeah? there?s been a problem the last few days with the blog, which has so far made me completely re-load WordPress. Let?s see if I can get any of my archives back.

When it Rains?

It floods. Oh, Georgia may still be in a drought, but my bathroom was filled to the brim with water when I came home from work today, as the toilet tank has a gorgeously long crack that runs from the top right corner of the tank to mid-way where the tank attaches to the bowl and under that connection. After using up all the towels in the house and some of my dish towels to

All Grown Up

This morning was the first morning that Elizabeth allowed me to drop her off at the front doors of her school instead of walking her into class. I?ve been looking forward to this day since she started Kindergarten, because I thought it was the next step in her growing up to be able to do simple things like get to class by herself, and we?ve been talking about January being the cut-off for me walking
