Happy birthday to meeeee

That is all. :)

get it together!

I totally meant to blog a bazillion different times this weekend, but never got around to it. Now it's wednesday, and i forgot half of what i wanted to yammer about.

one thing i wanted to mention pertained to my niece. it's awesome to feel like i'm needed again! she moved back in not too long ago, just for a hiatus until she finds her own place to live. one of the things she has to do, though, is send a letter to her dad saying that she isnt coming back to canada, and could he please send her shit back to tx. here's the problem... her dad is a dick. k has been putting off this letter for a while, but she called me on saturday (or was it sunday, i don't remember) and asked if i could help her. i just LURRRRRRVE it when she actually asks me for help. It's pretty awesome.

hmm... dealio number two was the crazy fucking hail storm we had on saturday! NUTSO! i've seen some crazy hail, but this shit was fucking insane. i found one hailstone that was the size of my palm. i have that awesome tin roof, so it sounded like i was in an air raid in germany circa 1941! LOUD! here's some pics:










Also, it turns out, my dog, kenzie, is a total wuss. she's a mama's dog, through and through, and she tries to crawl into my skin whenever a storm comes rolling through. apparently, if i'm not around, she has foudna new safe haven:



yes, all of you out in blogland... she's in the DRYER! only my dog would decide to CRAWL INTO THE DRYER when she gets scared. WHAT A FUCKING FRUITCAKE! she's always good for a laugh :)

testing

I read that I can send a blog directly to my site via email, so I'm just testing it.  If this works, COOL AS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Four years have passed.....

Hello again, all ye faithful blogland readers... Although, I am sure I have NO faithful blog readers any more. Four years, and WAAAY too much to fit into one tiny little blog has gone by. So long, in fact, that I FORGOT that I even HAD a blog! Someone recently reminded me, oh thank you very much.

So, new and newer first: I just got back from Las Vegas yesterday. Oh joy oh rapture! I lost a couple hundred bucks, then got REALLY sick, so I couldn't even win it back. Nothing like having the trots while on vacation...

I met up with my bf there. He lives on Manhattan, so we have to travel to see each other. Not that I mind, I LOVE to travel. One of these days, we will hopefully live closer to one another. OH YEAH, I should fill you in on the bf :) I'm all kinds of happy bunnies about this man... We met in Vegas about 6 months ago, and he's really cool. I'll tell you, I'm a biiiig fan. He's actually one of the nice ones, really hard to find. He's a professional geek, and thinks I'm the bees knees.

I just started a new job. I am a sign language interpreter, and have been mostly working in the community at large, but decided I needed something a little more reliable. I am still interpreting, but in a cube (YUCK!) I work for a Video Relay Service (VRS) and the technology is really amazing. Here's how it works: a deaf person video phone connected to a tv or computer, they call me through that video phone. I have one too, so I can see my clients on my screen and they can see me. I also have a computer based audio phone that I can call out from. So, I call my client's people (doctors, friends, family, the IRS, whoever....) they then talk to each other remotely using me as a conduit. Pretty cool, huh? But it's in a cube. Booooo. The people I work with are the cat's pajamas, so they really make it a pleasure to come to work every day. Oh, and there's also oodles of down time, so I can do fun things like catch up on blogging.

If you have anything you want me to post about, please let me know... I tend to ramble, so please give me a direction :)
