Buy Me Some Peanuts and Cracker Jack
Whether you are a baseball fan, or not, you have to admit that opening day signifies that spring is right around the corner. Hell, for some I believe summer has already arrived, however, for many winter was late on arrival and now spring has been delayed. Despite all of that, the opening day of Baseball means that spring has sprung and it is time to start planning the garden. Or, at least, I hope that I can do that soon. But, if I cannot, I am just as thrilled because having an actual winter has done so much to lift my spirits, or maybe it is the distance that has…

Next Week on Cam
Streamate is having a contest that will begin Saturday night and it runs through the entire week, and it is one that is worth my time, which is a welcome change. That just means that I will spend almost all of my time on SM, and not so much on Skype and other avenues. I will be online Saturday, starting at 8p EST, with a break for dinner and then a couple hours after. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will be spent all day online, and then back after dinner. The member show’s will be as follows: Monday – VNA 11p EST Tuesday – Streamate 11p EST (normally it is 8p…

The 64 Picks
Last year I joined Dawn Marie’s football pool and had so much fun guessing the winners that I wanted to extend my amusement into March Madness. It seemed easier for me to pick teams last year because I had an article that discussed each team and their weaknesses, which aided in my guessing strategy. This year, that was not possible because all I could find were articles from sports nuts and columnists writing as though their only readers are well versed in basketball jargon. Now my brain hurts trying to decipher who is who, from the college name to the mascots, and who is going to be “seeded” and who…

A Family Bond
It is well known that I want an elephant. They truly should be admired, loved and worshipped. Here is something that one of my Ele sites posted this morning and it is worth a share: They say that nothing is more important to an elephant than family. Elephants are well-known for their complex, multi-layered social networks led by an older female. Known as the matriarch, these wise female elephants carry with them a lifetime of inherited wisdom that helps the whole herd survive; where to find water, where to find food, when to avoid danger. While studies of African elephants show the clear dominance of the matriarch in a herd,…

This Needs to Stop! ! !
Yesterday’s adulting has shoved its way into my today and it seriously needs to stop! WHY can’t each day be a NO PHONE CALL policy day? Seriously? I do just fine online and via text, there is no reason that we cannot devise an insurance plan without a phone call. lol. Just let me pay $50 a month and don’t tell me it won’t cover any doctor visits or real life needs. Just do something on your computer screen and make it happen.

Adulting
Pfft! Adulting. Ack! I think being an adult comes with great advantages, and have never been one of those to wish time could be reversed as to give me a do-over. Nope. I much prefer life as an adult, I have to be honest, but goddamn it, some days I want to not adult. I was looking for health insurance Saturday night, and found a site with several options. When I woke up Sunday morning I had an email from a gentleman, wanting to discuss options. So, back and forth we go, exchanging emails and then he needs to discuss it further over the phone. WHAAAA? Because I need to…

New Beginnings and New Seasons
G’morning! I hope this finds you doing well and rebounding from the hour lost over the weekend. It baffles me as to why we continue to honor such dated ideas. Granted, it once made sense to extend the day to give more sunlight, but not in today’s day and age. It is unhealthy and ridiculous, but that is not the reason for this post, so moving on… I have been slogging away, trying to get to the end of my past, while also living in the present and hoping for a bright future. With that said, I was not able to finalize anything during my trip to Austin last week…

Friendly Reminder . . .
This is your friendly reminder that the member show’s this week are being rescheduled, and won’t take place tonight, or tomorrow night. In fact, Monday and Tuesday is just cancelled completely this week, so go back to bed and forget you opened your eyes. If you don’t mind, I will do the same and we can pretend it is next week and the sun is fucking shining on all of us. Okay, but seriously, there won’t be a VNA show tonight or a Tuesday night show tomorrow. I have not rescheduled the Tuesday show yet, so that is still TBA, but I the VNA show will be next Sunday at…

Texas and Change
Well, Texas has not changed since I left. People are still moving to the Austin area at a rapid pace and the roads are jammed full of commuters and weekenders. It has definitely become a destination city for tourists and transplants. So, there is that. Blech. Traffic. Ack!

Winter Has Arrived!
The long awaited winter has finally arrived! It has been snowing here for days and there is well over a foot of fluffy snow everywhere! It is damn cold and bright white out every window of my house! I have to say, it is truly beautiful to have four seasons, and with this being my first winter it was nice to have a mild one, but I am so thankful that we finally got a real snow storm before the seasons change. I do not know many people who love the snow, or even like the cold, but after living in Texas most of my life I am so tired…
