Beg to hear your wondrous stories

Staring at computer, waiting to go home. Brain is slowly oozing out ears and eyes. Bosses all gone. Can't take it anymore. I'm leaving.

The rest of the known universe may have already seen this site but I just stumbled across it today. Some really hot, some just hot and some not so hot but, hey, they're all proud to put themselves out there I'm sure.

Portico Magazine (local monthly publication) each year picks "25 High School Students Who Will Change the World". My Kaitlyn was chosen this year. She was picked for her work with the Anti-Death Penalty group here in Mississippi. Her plans are undergrad at UVA, law school at Columbia then work either for UN War Crimes Tribunal or the International Crimes Court. Her quote really stood out compared to the other kids.


One very proud mom!

Peace&love,

Helen

One of my lovely on-line friends is at DragonCon. (I keep thinking, "Damn they named on entire convention for Draco." hehe) She made a birthday cake for him. There are pictures of her, the cake and Draco, I mean, Tom at the convention at the Feltbeats website. I can't believe she didn't Confund him and drag him under the table.

I am pretty sure my children were mortified last night. I was LMAO when Keith Olbermann showed this on his show last night.

Well we had quite the adventure last night. Drove to Baton Rouge to take "supplies" to the 19 year old. She did not heed my advise and stock up before Gustav hit the coast Monday. All she had in her apartment to eat was a box of cereal. So 250,000 folks are without power (basically all of Baton Rouge) and they anticipate it being 3 to 4 weeks before being completely restored. Makes it a little difficult to buy groceries. After getting over my crying jag, I rallied the troops, hit the grocery and hardware stores, made sure the 14 and 16 year olds were seen to and headed out with Hubby. Drove through 3 potentially tornado-producing thunderstorms (remmants of Gustav) and got to BR at 8:30. That's 30 minutes after the curfew went into effect. Luckily avoided any local law enforcement. Got to her apartment complex only to discover that actually parking close to her unit was impossible because of the amount of debris (limbs, mud, etc.). AND then when we get to her unit after trudging through said debris we are dumbfounded to see a large oak had fallen through the roof of her neighbor's apt. Five feet to the left and it would have gone through her roof and she was there with her roommate and several friends. How you don't mention something like this to your Mom is beyond me. After helping her get a year's worth of non-perishables into her apartment we quickly made our escape. Hated leaving her there but she wanted to stay. She works as well as going to school and she wants to be there when power is restored so she is available to work. So we left her in the Dark. I mean Dark. It is quite eerie driving through a city the size of Baton Rouge when there is no power and not a single light to be seen. I mean none! Managed to evade law enforcement once again and made it back to Jackson this morning right after midnight. I'm beat. Should have listened to my mother when she told us (her 8 kids) never to have children!

At first glance/hearing this is just a bit offensive until you find out the person who said it is a young lady who belongs to a Women's Roller Derby team. The team was being interviewed this morning on NPR (local station). She was the first interviewee and these were the first words out of her mouth. In context it is pretty funny. I can't believe Roller Derby is making a come back. It was fairly popular in the late 60's and early 70's. I can remember one of our local stations would air Roller Derby right after cartoons late Saturday mornings. The crap I used to watch. Apparently quite a few teams have popped up nationally over the last couple of years. And not backwoods towns in Texas either but every state (and Canada) and most larger cities. Well, we don't have any professional sports teams locally so now I have a team to pull for.
So "GO Capitol City Bombers!"

You live on the edge, and you live for the adrenaline rush. You don't need luxuries, snob appeal, or superfluous gadgets. You put your top down, get your motor revving, and take all the curves that life throws at you at full speed. So what if you spin out occasionally?

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

SO for the first time since we've been married (17 years) my husband and I are sans kids for five days and five nights. 22 year-old is spending rest of summer with his Dad before he goes back to Ole Miss, 19 year-old stayed in Baton Rouge to go to summer school, 16 year-old is with a friend in ol' Fla for 10 days and the 13 year-old is at a summer camp at USM for the week. So we thought about having sex but mostly we have been watching what WE want on TV, eating what WE want for dinner and have slept peacefully. No extras spending the night, no sleeping with an ear open to hear when the 16 year old gets in, no sleeping with a pillow over my head once she does cause she stays on the phone, computer, etc. all night and no 13 year-old playing his guitar or drums or video games or guitar hero all night either. No "What's for dinner?", "where's my favorite 'insert piece of clothing'?", "Can I get a ride?", "Can I have some money?" etc., etc., etc.! Dang, I can hardly wait till Saturday when the youngest two are back home. Yeah, right!

I am so excited. Going to see the Raconteurs at NO Jazzfest, May 4th. There are definitely a few benefits to having teenagers. The 15 year old has excellent taste in music (much like her mother) and "turned me on" to Jack White and his bands, first White Stripes and now The Raconteurs. Haven't been to Jazzfest in 18 years. Can't wait.

Couldn't take a blank page any more. So here goes. Bill Bailey got out again today. The postlady is gonna be pissed. How does that fat little babydog manage to do that? Still hope to make it to the "God and Angels" exhibit at the MsMoArt. I guess a run time of June thru December just is not enough time. Time is seriously running out. Still have not gotten the tree decorated yet. Usually through by the 1st Sunday in Advent. Yesterday was the 3rd Sunday in Advent. Christmas is gonna suck this year anyway. Can't go to my sister's since I'm not talking to her anymore. She is still being a baby about moving Ms Bonnie's body. So that means I can't avoid the in-laws. Yuk! Oh, well Happy Holidays anyway.
