Sad Stuff, New Stuff, Other Stuff
Wow. So many things. This may call for an <UL>. Pretty much everything calls for an <UL> - instead of calling it a blog I think I should just call mine The Daily <UL>. Anyway, here is the latest -
- Granddaddy: 1/10/22 - 5/22/08
My grandfather passed away last Thursday. He is actually my ex-husband's grandfather but I was close with his grandparents when we were married and I have really missed them since we've been divorced. Last week the kids and I went to visit with him when he was sick. I was very glad we went to do that and also happy to find out that his family is still very welcoming of my presence despite the fact that I am no longer technically a part of their family. His funeral was yesterday, on Memorial Day out in the country where he lived. Rest in peace Granddaddy.
- If Prince Had A Car Instead Of A Motorcycle
I bought a new car. One that hopefully won't have 5 million dollars per month in repairs expenses. It is a brand new Hyundai Elantra and they have pretty nice warranties. Also the car is awesome and we all love it. I think I made a great choice. It is purple, Hyundai calls the color "Purple Rain" - *snort*. It has an MP3 jack and XM hard wired into the sound system. Groovin.
- Summer Fun
School's almost out for Thing1 and Thing2 (<< nicknames I just now decided to give my kids). Thing2 is going to Red Hot Robot Camp and Thing1 is going to Yearbook camp because she is on yearbook staff next year. They are some very excited Things.
- I Love Lamp
I watched my dad's 2 cats while he and my step-mom went on vacation, and to thank me my step-mom made me the most amazing stained glass lamp! I am in love with this lamp. I really should take more pictures. Maybe I will and then I'll come back and add them later. I am going to have to become a stained glass artist as soon as it is feasible. I can't even describe how happy stained glass art makes me - my step-mom is truly talented and very inspiring.
- Bye-bye Nova Lair
We are currently working on moving back to Spring or the Woodlands. I really like it over there and I like the schools better over there too, so be expecting to hear more about that over the next few weeks and/or months.
- Discovery Green
The kids and I went to Discovery Green on Sunday. We loved it and can't wait to go back. I actually *did* take pictures there and will share them asap.
- Now Playing
I am currently overplaying Pyramid Song by Radiohead to ease The Pain. No wonder I love it.

So sorry to hear about your grandfather.

Things!? That's hilarious.
Yes, move to Spring or The Woodlands. Pronto.
