Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on May 31, 2007

The WAHM Question of the Week this week is:
Do you work on holidays?
As with most work-related things that’s flexible with me depending on what’s going on in life. This past holiday I did a little bit of coding work but not much else, often times unless it’s a BIG holiday like Yule or Thanksgiving I [...]

Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on

When I was in high school my Dad went all around our area looking for a pontoon boat. Having a boat and a house with water access was the concession for us moving out of the woods and into the city.
The pontoon boat was pretty cool, but needed work. Dad got the pontoons replaced and [...]

Part of the reason I’ve been so AFK lately has been that I’ve not been AFK just AFB (away from blog). I came up with a way to re-design Shades of Blue that I thought would make it easier for me to actually maintain and update BUT it turned out that what I thought would [...]

It’s been five days since I last updated here. I can’t believe it!
It has been pretty busy the past few days though. We finally have a second car again. I’m not sure if I mentioned that before. We managed to get a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue for my husband. The owner knocked $200 off the price [...]

If you could stop imitating a banshee that would be great. I’m right next to you. If you say “Mama” I will hear it so you really don’t have to make my ears bleed and all the glass in the house shatter with this shrieking noise.
I would also really appreciate it if I could go [...]

The WAHM Question of the Week this week is:
How do you like to celebrate your birthday?
I’m not one for huge parties so I like to spend times with friends and family. One of my favorite things to do for my birthday is go to our local tepponyaki and sushi restaurant and eat there and then [...]

Well, this would have been sooner but the computer mouse decided to bite the dust this morning. I blame the munchkin for this as he would constantly sneak over to the desk and knock down the old one and disappear with it. I would suddenly see the computer screen going crazy and find him in [...]

The wildfires down here are getting more than a little scary. I really get apprehensive when I go outside to go somewhere and it sounds like all of our neighbors are having wood fire barbeques at the same time.
Many of my friends have been experiencing ash covering their cars. We haven’t had that itself, but [...]

Posted by User ImageAmi-chan on

I’m working really well here. I thought yesterday was Saturday and then I missed doing one of the Saturday memes anyway because of other things; and well…now I realize it was actually Sunday after all. I think it’s going to be ‘one of those weeks’ at this rate; but at least I have not missed [...]

We no longer have Medicaid after all. Well, actually that’s not strictly true: the munchkin still qualifies for a program called “Medically Needy” which apparently means that we have a monthly deductible, which looks like it will be around $2000 and if his expenses exceed that they will pay for his care.
Somehow I doubt we’ll [...]
