If you lend someone $20 and you never see them again... it may well have been worth it.

Sweet sweet comfort

Isn't this a picture of happiness?

long time

so it's been a while since I posted properly here.

June saw a trip to Columbus for Origins where I played lots of games, funnily enough. Made some new friends and saw some old ones.

Shortly after that trip, I was very sick.. no details necessary. But I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

And most recently, some new toys - a Palm Treo 755p smart phone has me geeking out (and you can see that I've finally figured out the moblogging), a weedwhacker that has a detachable head, along with a chainsaw/pruner attachment for it, so we can take care of fallen limbs, and today, a chimenea for a nice outside atmosphere once the weather has cooled some.

Knitting has been put aside for a while, still have a sock on the needles. Just rarely finding time to do it.

In other news, for those who pray, I'd appreciate prayers for a friend. She's going through a pretty rough time right now, and I'm not in a position to help.

I'm going to try and post a little more often and keep people updated better. Promise!

Trying again

Trying another method of mobile blogging with a picture...
Weird. I think regular SMS messages are getting through, but not MMS with a picture...

Back online

My blog and email have been offline for close to 48 hours.
An explosion Saturday evening at a Texas-based, privately held server hosting provider has caused server outages effecting 9,000 servers and 7,500 customers.

--All Headline News

I'm a customer of one of those 7,500 customers.

It's back up now. But an interesting weekend...
