Columbia Homes for Katrina Victims

I'm putting together an effort in Columbia, Missouri to find local temporary residences in people's homes for Katrina Victims. If you live in Columbia, Boone County, mid Missouri, or even St. Louis/Kansas City, visit katrina.aclearvoice.com.

Whoops

I just called up to cancel my home phone service using the line in question.

Customer Service Representative: All right then, I've put that into the computer and the line should be deactivated sometime today. Now I just need to...

Phone: *click*

Me: Ha ha! That sure was quick.

(And yes, the phone had just been shut off, it was not a disconnect or anything.)

Unexpected Hiatus

To all who care, sorry about my unannounced hiatus over the past several weeks. There have been “interesting” legal matters going on in my family-in-law as of late, and while they ended a week ago, I was too busy deciding whether the world was a terrible place to feel much like writing. But all is resolved now, so I’m back to writing.

On a happier note, I see that I hit 10,000 hits while I was gone. Not all that special compared to some blogs, but I'll take it.

New Blog

There's a new blog at the site What Is Partial Birth Abortion that will be updated with abortion news.

This blog is run by my husband. I've been having an amusing time with him ever since I started my blog because even though he has a BA in computer science, can fix any computer, programs all day, installed Movable Type for me, etc; he still doesn't quite get the concept of trackbacks. I'm not quite sure why. I've explained it to him several times, and a few days later he's asking me another question about it. But he's wonderful, so I'll easily forgive him this one little quirk.

I'll be posting over at Say Anything today and tomorrow. All of those posts will most likely be gratuitously double posted here, but go on over there anyway and check out the other guest posters. And heck, stick around for when Rob comes back. It's a great blog.

Oh, and in case you didn't notice, there's now an "About" link on the main page so you can find out all about me.

Mood & Writing

I've noticed that my writing lately has been a more snarky and sarcastic. I'm wondering if this has to do with the crappy stuff that's been going on in real life in the past few weeks.

Either way, I hope you're liking it. :)

Happy Belated Easter

I hope everyone had a good Easter/spring break. I know I did. My little brother came over to our house for a few days, and then we spent Easter with my parents. I got lots of extra sleep, which is very good.

I’ll be back to regular posting today.
