Andrew Blair handles the manly car talk

1999 Dodge Dakota….sold.

Racecar Ya Ya’s

Last night we saw Cake at The House of Blues. Both Andy and I agreed, it was one of the best shows we’ve ever been to. Not that I have an official list or anything, but if I did, Cake would be in the top five.
Earlier in the day, we drove the RV [...]

Lasik

No laser eye surgery today. After the consultation yesterday, it was determined that since I’ve been wearing contacts for the last fourteen years and my eyes are itchy and red from allergies, I have to wait until February 24. It was disappointing, but I agree. I was given samples of and told to put one [...]

Another boring, matter of fact, update:
We’re back in the house, not quite ready to make the RV jump just yet. I know I sounded absolute in the last post, but that’s just our way. Andy has some programming to do before baseball season. It’s two months away. Eight weeks isn’t long, but it isn’t short [...]

Side Trip to Mesquite

A very boring matter of fact paragraph of what we’ve been doing for the last few days:
I got back from Chicago on Saturday. Vlad the Russian Oracle was in from Denver so we hung out with him on Sunday at the Rio and used his food coupon to eat a great dinner and drink some [...]

Seven inches of snow in Chicago

Seven inches of snow in Chicago Originally uploaded by cindigodotcom.
Not a bad picture for it being 11 pm and taken with a camera phone in night mode.
I felt nostaligic for the midwest snow tonight, standing out in the front yard with all of the flakes swirling around me and piling on my shoulders. It [...]

Last night I had a dream that I was trapped in my grandmother’s basement…..and angry. Also, that there was a garage sale that I had to run and was selling all the wrong stuff. No one was helping me and everyone was yelling at me and….I was angry.
Gee….I wonder what that all means.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness

I feel like dirt. Literally dusty, decrepit, creaky, dirty dirt. You know, that creaky kind of dirt. You’ve seen it I’m sure. This house and these people are emotional vampires, sucking fun, lightness, vibrance and the will to live out of every pore of my being. *LITERALLY* they have little baby fangs and everything. What [...]

Painting Moldings, Going to Chicago

I spent my day touching up all of the floor moldings in the house. It took about three hours and it was too much for my first day of being almost well. Also, I really wish that I got a little more satisfaction out of the yellow and rust sploches and watery tints from my [...]

Sicko

I’m sick. I usually don’t get sick, but I’ve finally succumbed. This is the sixth day, and I feel maybe I have one or two days left. Whenever I get sick, or see someone that is sick, it reminds me of a physiology class I took as part of my massage school curriculum. That class [...]

scorp caught in the living room Originally uploaded by cindigodotcom.
Since we don’t have any more pets, we thought we would start adopting other types of strays.
This guy was in our living room last month. I took the picture, and forgot to post it. Andy trapped him in a glass and we put him in the [...]

San Diego Zoo….my new mecca

upsidedown orangatang Originally uploaded by cindigodotcom.
We are back from San Diego. I am nursing my mildly sore throat with peach oolong tea. Now, on top of being a water snob, hair snob (which I’ll talk about in a minute), I’m also a tea snob. I started going to teavana and buying amazing and delicious loose [...]

andy and cindy at the san diego zoo

andy and cindy at the san diego zoo Originally uploaded by cindigodotcom.
We went to the San Diego Zoo today. It was one of the most amazing and fun places I’ve been to date. I’d tell you all about it, but my husband has left the power cord to his computer in Las Vegas. This means [...]

119802

We are in San Diego. The maiden voyage in the RV is half way done, and I didn’t even post about it. I’m going to, I swear.
Highlights:
A day of shopping (instead of packing) on $375 worth of gift cards received as a “gift”. It’s a good story.
Starting our voyage at 11 pm and not being [...]
