Oh, so you expect a title?

Yesterday was Bill’s funeral.  I cried. A lot.  I’m not surprised really, I totally expected that I’d cry more, so that went well, I thought.  Funny story actually.  The more I think about it, the more I think it was Bill pulling one of his practical jokes from beyond. 
There were hundreds of people there, Omaha [...]

Goodbye friend

Well, I knew it was coming, and I’m still sad.  My friend, Bill, died this past weekend.  On the 1-year anniversary of his dad’s death.  The “I believe in forever” part of me thinks his dad came to get him and end his suffering.  The normal pessimistic side of me says it sucks that 4 kids [...]

On this day in 1904

My grandpa Erikson was born.  Happy Birthday, Grandpa!  I miss you!

Ya gotta wonder…

…why our new neighbors would tie a paintbrush on their tree.   (I would post a picture I took, but I can never get pictures to post on this darn blog.)   Why would they do such a thing?  It’s just an ordinary paintbrush tied about 10 feet up the tree with a piece of rope encircling [...]

Has spring finally sprung?

I’m a weather junkie.  I admit it.  BTW, I’m totally jazzed on the Weather Channel’s new interactive radar, totally cool!  You can use the scroll on your mouse to move closer and closer until you can actually see your neighborhood and where the rain is.  Cool. 
Anyway, I was checking out the Weather Channel online tonight [...]

Why, why do I read this stuff?

In People magazine today Tori Spelling is quoted as saying, “motherhood rocks”.  Oh haha!  Ha ha HA!  I don’t know this for a fact, so I probably shouldn’t say anything, but I rather think that what Tori Spelling knows about motherhood could be written on the sharp end of a pin!  Do you mean to [...]

Yay for the “Fat Penguins” of the world

I read this article in the Omaha World Herald today.  
LINCOLN – An Omaha Westside high school student went beyond mere juvenile behavior when he called a fellow student “fat penguin” and other names, threw food at her and tripped her with a chair, the Nebraska Supreme Court said today.
The court ruled that the boy, identified [...]

Stay home if you’re sick.

We went to Wal-Mart the other day and since I really needed a haircut I stopped into Cost Cutters to get my brows and hair done.  About halfway through the process the lady cutting my hair asks the other lady if she’d go get some Pepto Bismol or something.  She just felt awful.  So I [...]

@#$%! computers!

Last Wednesday MIS started installing patches on all of our computers for daylight savings time.  Wednesday afternoon our dictation system started acting up.  Doctors would get busy signals or the phone would just ring and ring when they called in.  Thursday it was supposed to be fixed, but it was more of the same, only worse.  [...]

Anxiety thy name is Typingfool…

Oh brother.  This is ridiculous.  I wish I could just scream.  Did you ever feel like nothing in your life was really the way it was supposed to be?  Like maybe you stepped into someone else’s life and everything felt wrong somehow?  I’m anxious, but not nervous.  I guess you have to be a little [...]
