A Whole New Way to Celebrate

8DecemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Today I’m celebrating a new milestone.Â One that is so momentous it has brought me to the stuttering point, and so far-reaching I will celebrate it every year from this day forward.Â What addition to my life has brought about all this gushing? …hold that breath… My very own personalÂ post office scale. I’ve been using

A Car with No Work Ethic

4DecemberSuzanne4 CommentsHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Our car recently decided it needed a vacation.Â When we didn’t provide one, it took a few days off under the pretense of ‘calling in sick’.Â That was the week before last, and though we grumbled, we decided to let the issue slide.Â After all, we rarely give it any time off. Then last week,

Hi-ho, Hi-ho, It’s Off to School We Go

20NovemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Four nights at the school in one week, or time spent in the afternoon there until at least 5:00pm.Â They may be giving us a break next week, but they’re determined to make sure we earn it! And a pic to go with my gripe. Maybe this was one of those one-room school houses we

Short story and Car for Ransom

19NovemberSuzanneJust for Laughs, Writing

Last night I started a new short story I’ve been wanting to get to.Â It’s about a boy’s choice of a role model, and is called ‘A Fool and His Money’.Â Until Thanksgiving’s over, I’m going to let myself write the shorts that have been piling up in my brain while I worked on my

The Not So Happening Goings-on

I hadn’t realized how much finishing the firstÂ draft of Shadow Dance took out of me.Â Or getting theÂ old house to closing.Â Or…yeah.Â So maybe there’sÂ been aÂ bit more going on. But the truth isÂ I’ve slept a lot the last couple days.Â And since that doesn’t make for very interesting blogging (unless I record my snores and

The Secret Life of Spam

13NovemberSuzanne6 CommentsBlogging, Just for Laughs

You may not have noticed, but I’ve had quite a crop of spam comments this last day or so.Â I didn’t think to keep track, but instead of my usual maybe one a week, at a guess I’d estimate that I’ve had 6-10 just today.Â In addition, they where all the kind were just a

Election Day

4NovemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Today has been a bit crazy.Â Or maybe it’s the last several days.Â This past weekend hadÂ all our usual Saturday errands, etc., plus attending Alan Welch’s gallery showing (which was very cool and will get a longer post on the LJ) and doing some measuring on the windows of our old house in order to

TSJ Update

2NovemberSuzanneJust for Laughs, The Sigurd Journal

Just a short note to say that The Sigurd Journal site has been updated, and will be experiencing regular updates from here on.Â I’m not sure how they/we did it, but someone finally got the backwards and sloth-like web editor to make changes and begin catching up the site…can’t imagine what was keeping them.Â People

Candy-Wrapper Day

1NovemberSuzanneHome in the Rookery, Just for Laughs

Perhaps that should be the un-official name for November 1st, at least in our house.Â I usually try to ration the candy, ask the kids to make sensible choices and provide limits… But apparently, not this year.Â This is just our son’s wrapper pile, from his personal stash.Â Our daughter was a little wiser, and
