This incredibly hot lady is my momma, and today she turned 54. I called and woke her up at 7AM (because I am nice like that) and she informed me that it was OK, she had to get up with the puppy anyway. Who was cuddled with her in bed. My sister is out of town so my mom is playing grandma.
That’s one of the things I miss most about living far from home… free pet care!
Today my Nana should’ve turned 83. Instead it’ll be five years this July that she’s been gone.
I don’t have many photos of her with my grandfather, as he died in 1966, but in the ones I do have, I can tell she adored him.
So I know that if she’s with him, she’s happy. Even if the rest of us are left without her.
Super Tuesday is awesome and I love election years to bits and pieces.
I’m only sad that I’m no longer in college, lol, because being on a crazy-for-politics campus during a presidential election was one of my greatest years in college. The debate, the arguments, the insanity… good times. 🙂
Personally, I’m all about Obama, but one of my closest friends from college is a crazy Republican and desperately wanted Ron Paul to win. I haven’t figured out who she’s going for now, but I’m sure I’ll get a phone call this evening. She’s at CPAC, a crazy Republican convention and every year I get drunken calls from some party at 2AM. Makes me kinda miss college, just a little bit.
The Super Bowl is way too stressful for me, particularly now that we’re in the third quarter and it’s 7-3.
So I’m working on contract jobs and debating the merits of the commercials.
So far? Totally unimpressive.
Update 10:09PM.. Damn, wtf? We lost the Super Bowl?! Unbelievable. The Giants kicked ass.
We recently got a 1TB hard drive, and last night I finally used Leopard’s new Time Machine to back up my entire computer.
Then I deleted over 12 gigs of pictures, mail from my previous employer and downloads (mostly mail ones that I forgot existed in a separate folder… haha, oops).
It’s the first time in almost six months that I’ve had over four gigs of free space, and it’s lovely. I often work with large pictures, and I have been regularly receiving “your start up disk is almost full” messages, which requires one to start deleting maniacally so as to continue working.
It was a pain in the ass.
Now it is beautiful.
On another thought, my mother’s birthday is in a week and I have no ideas (she doesn’t either, argh). Anyone have a good suggestion?
