i love popgadget

because i always find about such interesting things there. like:

- how to geekify your child from an early age

- making the perfect hot dog at home

and so much more! yes, i love popgadget.

and now that my grep is complete, i return you to our regularly scheduled hiatus. although i guess not before randomly saying: things seem to have calmed down with my family. my mom is still with us, and naturally there has been lots of mini-drama between today and the last time i posted. perhaps some day, when i'm less busy, i will regale you with some highlights. in the meantime, think good thoughts for me turning into a fiction writer one day. i certainly have plenty of fodder.

tangled

that's the song on right now, but it's a good description for the last few days because things have been all wacky getting ready for:

my mom to come live with us.

because she's separating from my dad.

and she's going to be here in about 30 minutes.

there's so much more i could say, and i'm sure eventually i will, but at the moment my brain feels a little too fried. i guess i'm just taking a moment to document that fact (or at least i would have completed the 'moment' last night, when the 30 minute thing was true, but blogger was toast).

ok now i'm going back to *trying* to work until i have to leave in a bit. bleh.

p.s. my mom got here fine. i have dramatic re-enactments dancing in my head but otherwise things seem relatively quiet. of course, my mom isn't up yet and who knows what exciting developments there may have been since i went to sleep!
