WorldCon rocked!
I enjoyed every minute - but my brain has been super-stuffed with all of the experiences.
Need time to process it all.
And then maybe, after I get some sleep, I’ll be able to write a coherent report of all that happened.

P.S. I was at the HUGO AWARDS! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The Universe

The Universe has a way of hitting you with great things when you least expect it.

Here I was feeling a little blue - and a bit distracted - when BAM! a good opportunity landed right in my lap! I’m so psyched! A little freaked, but thrilled, too! I don’t want to ruin it, but I will say this:

1. It has to do with my podcast.
2. And it’s not going to be boring!

That is all - you may return to your -erm- normal (?) lives.

On top of old Smokey….

I am sick of smoke. Sick. Sick. Sick.

Our area is covered in smoke from the wildfires just to the north. Granted, the people in the immediate area have for more to bitch and moan about than I do - but I think we can all agree that we are sick of the smoke. Going outside for a long walk is not nearly as enjoyable as it used to be. And the faint smell of smoke is beginning to permeate things now.

I’ll be soooo happy when they finally put all the fires out. For several reasons.

How is everyone else doing?

Ye flippin’ macaronis! It’s been tooooo long….

Been way to long since I’ve posted here. Not even sure who still reads this blog at all.

We’ve been busy busy with all kinds of things, and that’s the summary. It would take too long to recap everything that’s happened since March, and I think all of you who read this, read my other blogs or email/phone me anyway.

I just wanted to leave a ping here - this site isn’t completely forgotten. ;o)

Love,

~PJ~

We’re home!

We had a wonderful time in New Zealand. I highly recommend going there for vacation.

The boys traveled well - and we all had a great time with lots of great experiences. I’ll be posting entries about our travels - and pictures too.

In the meantime, tell me how all of you have been since we left. What’s new?

We the Robots…

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Today is our 14th wedding anniversary. What do you give on a 14th anniversary? According to this entry at Wikipedia, it’s ivory if you follow older traditions, gold jewelry if you go modern.

Take a look at that list - go on - I’ll wait - now, everything from the 20th up makes sense to me. I mean, granite, I think, is very symbolic if you’ve made it to 90 years! But below 20…most of them are a bit confusing. I mean….paper? sugar? turquoise? BISMUTH?! And if you look at the 7th - maybe that explains the 7-year itch…WOOL?! “Hey, honey, it’s been 7 years. Here’s a wool sweater.” Who came up with this list anyway?

Actually, I think it’s all Emily Post’s doing. Stemming from one of her books on etiquette. Probably trying to help out some poor guy who felt clueless about what to buy for his wife.

Luckily, my hubby needs no such advice. All the gifts he gives me (throughout the year, I might add) are all chosen with thought, consideration, and care. I’m very very lucky to have him as my husband, and this is probably the best gift of all: he continues to share his life with me.

I love you, AJ! Happy Anniversary!
