I suck at blogging. Hey, here's a leg warmer!

Almost finished with the first leg-warmer.  It's hilariously misshapen and I managed to gain a couple  of stitches.  I love it.  Warts and all.  I only hope my short attention span allows me to complete the other one, or else I'll end up with one very cold ankle...  I'll be like an old lady version of LL Cool J with the single leg warmer. Wow.  I need to throw some lotion on the tootsies.  Look away!


So - I spent the past two weeks down with a migraine.  Glad I have a dr's appt next month to get those sorted out again.  Finally they stopped, and I didn't have one on Saturday, until the roller-rink place played a song and had a bunch of strobe lights going.  End of the migraine free- day.


Sunday's Chinese New Year feast was delayed a day, but it worked out because The Kid got his report card yesterday and it was all As.  He brought up the single B - and that was celebration-worthy.    He wanted rice-balls and pot stickers. YUM.  Lots of work, late supper where I don't get to eat with everyone, but totally worth it.


Squishy post alert:  So proud of my kid.  He's doing so well after a hellish year, and he doesn't even realize how hellish it was.  Great attitude.

When your mom freaks you out

Watching the preview of "A Clockwork Orange" reminded me of the time my mother walked in on my watching it on VHS and saying, "Oh, I LOVED that movie.  It was a bit disturbing, though".    


I couldn't even make it all the way through - and it was one of her favorites.

Such a Phal...

So - the thing is, I'm doing this because so many people I know keep saying "oh, you should do a blog".  Why not, right?


Assuming you know me, you'll know who "My Sweetie" and "The Kid" are.  'Nuff said.


My Sweetie came up with the name for the blog.  "You should make a blog called PHAL-blog" when I was talking about a spike starting on my phalenopsis that I'd never gotten to rebloom before.


So, here I am.  I've got a very funny family, and awesome friends, and I find odd things humorous.  I'm a dork, married to a gorgeous geek, with a brilliant, talented, hilariously funny kid.  I hope this is interesting.


And the Pats are playing the Broncos right now.  GO PATS! What freakin' team we've got this year.
