Spring is in the air!

Well, maybe not for long, but after a few months of a blanket of snow continuously it was so nice to see the grass this week!! We had snow pretty much continuously since November with maybe 2 short breaks. I love winter, but it was getting to be too much!

Lest you think I forgot you –

I’m alive! Kids have all been sick again. Ryan is home sick with the intestinal garbage (I think he fell asleep). Colleen missed 3 1/2 days this week, Chris missed one. Mom was here this week and now she doesn’t feel well. My days may be numbered. Rog was sick earlier this week while he [...]

Fun menu outing AND video camera!

Broke in the digital camera, early Christmas present for us. Here’s a start: Going to Erie from Dori H on Vimeo. And by the way when I said “Open the door” I didn’t mean the car– I can see that would possibly be assumed from my statement All videos here – and I’m sure this [...]

Funny things said at work

This was in response to a “what was the funniest thing you typed” post at the transcription board – “These are all so funny! I keep trying to think of one I’ve done and I’m sure in almost 20 years of typing professionally I’ve done many! But I can’t think of anything. I can sure [...]

Craving order, and Chocolate Cake

Ahh, just remembering the days when Ryan laid on a boppy pillow and napped while I typed.  When he was three weeks old I began my legal trans again, just a little, and I remember how I reached my arms around him to type on the keyboard.  Now he’s starting kindergarten in 3 months.  All [...]

Instead of “The Dog Ate My Homework,” it’s–

5-11-07 (have to figure out how to change dates on these after the fact!) –”My Headphones Sound Like Crap and I Didn’t Know It.” And this is why the transcription company I failed should give me a second chance! Oh my. As any reader (hello out there ) knows, I was upset that I failed [...]

Trying to add perfect contracts — and thoughts on hearing loss

The life of us entrepreneurs (is that what we are?) — always seeking to do the best with our contracts yet keeping an eye on what else is out there. Sometimes there is enough variety in one contract to keep you going strong (Rog is kind of in that position now with his company, thank [...]

Restaurant menus and broccoli casserole

edit – WELL, I can’t figure out why the french fry picture had thrown off my whole blog sidebar (I didn’t even notice until today – lol!) but I just put it under the cut. I’m also trying to delete that extra “zoo” entry but WordPress won’t let me. Can’t figure that out either. Ahhhh [...]

Zoo and new car

Zoo 010 Originally uploaded by criscollrj. My blog revision site for some reason is not working, so I’m just reposting this. We went to zoo yesterday – pictures are here — this is Colleen (bottom) and her friends that were in our group. We had a blast – a COLD BLAST! If you click back [...]

Spring fever!

70 degree temps today sure got the kids ready to play! I think spring fever has sprung. I didn’t even realize that Easter is less than 2 weeks away, and the bulbs are coming out (of which many I didn’t plant and I will have to wait for next fall). Already bought some new bulbs [...]
