I think I was a matryoshka doll in a previous life.
My comment spam is out. of. control. We’re talking around 100 a day. My blacklist is getting broader and broader, but it is just ridculous. Still, I love hearing what you have to say, so I don’t want to turn it off. I’m using an old version of MT-Blacklist [...]

Stuff like this makes me stop and think about WHY [...]
So there appears to be something dreadfully wrong with my Podling (a.k.a. iPod Mini). I am very, very distressed. It seemed to be losing it’s charge quite quickly last week. Wednesday night, I plugged it into charge overnight, and I got the happy charging battery, but when I woke up, it was [...]

Wonderful news this morning via Meredith - the newest member of the Riha family was born on Saturday. A perfect little girl. Congratulations, Stepan and Jennifer! And welcome, Magda!
So I have started drinking lots of Good Earth Green Tea (which is divine tasting and still good for me) and every tea bag has a quote on the little paper tab.

Steve and I made the trek down to Galveston this weekend to go to his cousin Jim’s wedding. They got married aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship the Rhapsody, and it was a really neat boat! We spent the day Saturday being attacked by mosquitos, praying the rain would hold off, and exploring [...]
