Cathy

 
So I am in an angry troll kind of mood.
 
Ethan had his second urodynamics test today, but I could not go because we had an emergency at work (it is 7:15pm as I write this…I am still at work…waiting for customer confirmation).  The Urodynamics test is by far the most invasive test ever conceived of [...]

Change

 
Today I had to inform a couple of team members that they were being transferred to other departments (I hate delivering bad news…I am no Lynn Russell).  Change she is a coming.  I myself am on the cusp of some fairly radical career changes.  My whole division is going through a massive reorganization.  For the [...]

Death by Basil (organic poison)

 
So I have been a under the weather of late.  Every morning I came into work and I barely had the energy to do my job.  On top of that I had a nasty cough that made my whole chest hurt.
 
This has been going on for weeks and I was starting to get really concerned.  [...]

Up Chuck

Well today is Chuck E. Cheese day.  Why?  Ethan is 7 years old today.  Actually as I write this post, it is to the minute of his birth.
 
Ethan has changed my life in so many ways for the better.  Since he has come into my life, I am a better person.  He lights up a [...]

Darth Bunny

 
Last night I finished a Star Wars novel (Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader).  OK, I can hear the groans through my monitor.  It is cheap pulp Sci-FI, but I can sometimes pull meaning out of a Huggies commercial, so go figure.
 
I am fascinated by the character of Darth Vader. 
 
When I was a [...]

Treat

 
Life can take you some unexpected places.  When I was a kid, I always dreamed of getting a house in my parents’ neighborhood when I grew up.  My sister always looked to more distant horizons.  She was the bold one who went to school out of state.  I was the one who went to Junior [...]

Hades

 
Clearly I have died and went to Hades (try to contain your shock).  It is 99 in Virginia.  That is hot.  Not California Hot.  Not Washington Hot.  Not Colorado Hot.  This is the pit of Hades.  The humidity is roughly 3000%.  I think I will go visit Africa to cool off.
 
To add insult to injury, [...]

Not like a horse?

 
Yesterday was Ethan’s clinical appointment day.  Thanks to my new best friend Maggie (our GPS); we made it to DC Children’s in record time (45 minutes). 
 
After waiting for about a half hour they took us to our room.  The cool thing about Children’s is that they have a flat screen TV in every room.  [...]

12 Hours to Membership

 
So yesterday afternoon we were going to celebrate Jenn’s birthday since on her real B-day we are going to be at the clinic all day.  Then we remembered, we had a membership meeting that we had to attend at our new church.  Normally, I would not have rushed into membership.  But since Jenn is on [...]

The Hills Are Alive

So last night was my idea of a near perfect Friday Night.  Not that it was the greatest, but for what it was, it was perfect. 
 
Ethan had his piano recital last night, so I knocked off work early.  When I got home, he was busy doing Jedi business with the kids in the neighborhood.  [...]
