um… wha..??

This just in from my blog stats page…

Someone found my blog by searching for:

“how to make plaster severed fingers”

Really? How the hell did that get you here? I don’t even want to KNOW why you want to know that information.

[Ha. Ha. It brings up this!]

and we didn’t get a wii before because?

I have had a lovely evening of kicking Shawn’s butt at Tennis on the Wii. I am so in love with that thing and the tennis game that came with it. Baseball is fun, too, but I am awesome at tennis. I even made myself a little Mii character (which is essentially a little thing that looks like-ish me and dressed in purple!) and Shawn made a little him-Mii and then I crushed him in tennis. And bowling.

I rock at the Wii, yo.

It’s sad how good I felt after just that little bit of activity. I bought a bike in the Spring and have I ridden it once? No. I suck. I don’t even have the tires blown up all the way yet. The weather has been horrid here and it’s just not bike riding weather out there. It’s either pouring rain with storms (and lately scary water spout things!) or it’s like 200% humidity and so smoggy I can’t even breathe if I STAND outdoors. No way I am biking in that.

So sad.

I think the Wii playing helped with the nervous energy I have had this week. Although it’s still bad because here it is almost 11:00 pm and I am UP and ON THE COMPUTER. Though it’s on my lap in bed. Heh. We’re getting cozy, Molly and I. Bow chicka bow bow.

Ok, so yeah, that’s it for now. I have been updating my book blog and um, surfing on Facebook and Twitter and Neopets. I think I am internetted out for the night.

Word.

free dogs to a good inedible home

So we got home from work this evening only to find that our dogs had eaten one CD-ROM (Paint Shop Pro 8) and my 1GB USB key (in purple). All that was left were teeny little bits of chewed plastic.

Sigh.

Last week one or both of them ate a part of our floor (which was coming up after being flooded by the storm that knocked our power out for almost 4 days.

The week before was the kleenex.

I am so not amused.

I only have one dog crate, so I don’t know what to do. I don’t know which one to crate when we leave. I don’t know which one is the instigator in all of this.

It’s seriously pissing me off though.

spam update – july

Spammers seem to have moved from insulting me and making me feel bad about myself to telling me I have PhDs waiting for me if only I reply to their emails! I am being offered all sorts of honourary degrees. How cool!

Now I just have to pick what  I feel like doing and chose something that would give me awesome salary options. Woo!

family reunions, sometimes they happen

I was out at my mother’s cousin’s place today for a family reunion for the Hewitt side of the family (my Grandmother’s family). This was something I was both dreading and looking forward to. I am not a huge family get-together person (or any get togethering for that matter) but I was really looking forward to seeing my cousin, her family, her parents…. and I knew it would mean a lot to my grandmother since only about a month ago did many of us get together for my Poppop’s funeral.

The group shot was rather complicated and I didn’t get one myself, I’ll have to wait until it’s sent around via email for people to grab. I want to post that with the one taken from the reunion about 15 years ago at the same place. The eldest child of one of my cousins was almost 2 years old and this time around he had just graduated from high school. My time flies.

I did get some shots of Sheryl and I. One came out great, one… well, I’d be happy if all my little roly poly parts weren’t there.

Once I get my copy of the group shot I’ll stick it here with the scanned photo of all us “kids” from 1993!

This was my weekend. Yesterday I stayed home in the pouring rain, heat, humidity and played on the laptop and helped Shawn out with some stuff. (Long story short, we had to get a Wii for reasons I cannot explain and my arm is now sore from playing tennis for an hour last night!)

Work tomorrow. Sigh.

[PS. I am currently sitting outside on my deck on a lounge chair I inherited from my Poppop while writing this. It's gotten dark enough that I can see my screen ok, too. Not too many bugs bugging me but as soon as the gigantic spiders start making an appearance I am so back inside. I just needed to express my excitement at being able to computerize outdoors. Woot! Thank you.]
