...is on my mind today. But I want to try and get in the blogging mode again. I figure if I have to wait for anything but random thoughts I'll end up with two entries a year again.

I haven't left the house today. Damn I love those days. I finished the Evanovich book, started knitting a new pair of socks, watched a movie and did an hour of phone consultation to a work place they are actually going to pay me for. Wish that idea would catch on and keep going. Oh and I also made a baked pasta dish.

What I've tried to ignore all day is a dull sinus headache and sore throat. Forget that...I'm going to keep ignoring it.

My silk-wool yarn I ordered arrived today by Ray the UPS man. You know you need to quit ordering things when you are on a first name basis with the UPS man and he knows your schedule.

Well I hope I can find a good movie on the tube tonight because my plans don't include anything beyond the sofa and a bottle of tylenol.

Well I survived my road trip to Iowa despite driving the Saturn rental. Ugh. All total I drove about 1600 miles. Took me 12 hours to drive to my destination and 10.5 of night to get back. Obstacles of daytime driving: rush hours, grandma and grandpa's, mini-van's packed full of children, groups of perusing construction workers. Obstacles of night time driving: darkness, drunks and weaving and wobbling semi-tractors.

So all in all it was a great trip. Now I'm chilling for a couple of days with season three and four of Smallville and Janet Evanovich's latest Twelve Sharp. Funny stuff.

More than likely anyway. I haven't been out but it's sunny and 79 degrees already. Actually I'm sitting here with hair dye in my hair. Again. Procrastinating from housework. Again. So I thought I could ramble on here for 6 minutes just to say I blogged.

Since my last post I was approached about a director position I'm actually considering. Drove by the place yesterday, it's about ten minutes from where I live. It's a brand new facility that will be opening this summer. Not near as big as the last facility...so maybe, just maybe I'll consider it.

I'm leaving this week on a road trip to Iowa. My mother's 70th birthday is next Saturday and I want to be there for it. I've not made the drive since I moved here in '99 so....

Oh and my gay sister had a baby boy this week. Scratch your head on that one.

Alrighty then....time to rinse.

Been light years since I've last posted. I think about it ALOT...but never sit down to actually accomplish it. Hard to find a person nowadays under 60 that doesn't know what a blog is and if you do they are completely computer retarded challenged.

Ok...just a bit of a life update:

I'm still the mother of 3 and grandmother to one beautiful 4 year old girl.

I'm still doing some part time consulting in long term care for the same company I was employed as a director of nursing.

I haven't gained any weight in 3 years. Nor lost any. Damn it.

I own 33.33% interest in two adult foster care homes. This is good and bad. I'll save that for a future post.

My hair color is still Loreal's Medium Golden Brown...ok, this week and still having delusional thoughts of shaving my head.

I'm contemplating renewing the process of studying to be a nursing home administrator and taking the national and state examinations in September. Not quite sure that's a road I want to take. Thus the "contemplating".

I'm frankly quite disgusted at the price of air flights.

I've been dating someone for the past six months. Relationships are ____ . Fill in your own response here. I can come up with a new sentence every six hours.

I'm still in the top ten on Google if you do a search for "general bullshit". I probably shouldn't boast about this. But it still makes me smile.

Oh...and I've rediscovered my passion for knitting since I'm partially retired.

Well that's enough for now. Anybody out there?
