I am in a crabby mood.  Woke up fine, went to Kmart and Kroger and stopped for gas.  OK, so that made me a bit edgy, but still ok.  Until I started thinking about it.  $50 for gas and I didn’t even fill my tank!  And no, it’s not an SUV, but I guess maybe [...]

Library “Letterboxes”

Posted in Uncategorized on July 9, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Yesterday I mentioned on the Letterboxing page (up there on the top bar) that the library has done a letterbox series that is at once pretty cool AND pretty sad.  http://snpnmnmi.wordpress.com/letterboxing/

Hahahahahahahahaha!!
Couldn’t resist that one!  The poison ivy is cleared up (finally).  Even down to the phantom “there’s nothing there but it still itches” itchies.  And I held out!  No steroid shots.  Yeah for me!
