Moose Tracks w/ the vanilla ice cream; extreme Moose Tracks with all-chocolate is a bit much for me.

I replaced my analog tv in December when it finally gave up the ghost.  The new flat screen is in the bedroom, a 32".  And boy-howdy--don't my DVDs look FINE on that screen!

I like to knit, and I like to read.  I like to browse and graze on the computer.  And I like to watch movies--especially when I knit.

Well, losing your mother at any age isn't easy--and at her age it would be especially difficult.  My mother died almost 43 years ago, and enough time has gone by so that it isn't at the front of my mind ALL the time.  But--there are times when it all feels like it happened just yesterday.

I like the wolf's point of view:  the groundhog came out today and saw his shadow, so--I ate him.

For some reason--some STRANGE reason--the earworm I ended up with today was, "Making Love Out of Nothing At All" by Air Supply.  And I'll bet a shiny new nickel I haven't thought of that song in at least 20 years.

I used to have a boss that popped bubble wrap, and we would always save whatever came as packing material so he would have it on hand.

I really hate this.  My mother died when I was 17, and it's especially rough when your mother dies and you're that young.  Graduation, wedding--and she isn't there.

I had to break down and replace my analog after it gave up the ghost.  Fortunately it died in December, and I got a nice 32" for quite the decent price.  I use one of those flat wall antennas and get 30 channels, and my DVDs look GREAT!

I did mine with the free Turbo Tax program--mine are easy, and TN has no state income tax.
