Happy Halloween! And Amazing Fire

This: Debris fire defies firefighters is right up the road from our house. We could smell the smoke and hear sirens all day yesterday. When we went to Ralph and Denise’s about noon’ish, there was no fire. On the way back there was a massive fire. You could see the flames and smoke a long [...]

BiZi Farm Trip

Here’s pictures of our BiZi farm trip on Sunday. We had a lot of fun!
Nothing else new to report. It’s been a very busy week work-wise for me with lot of overtime again.
My eye is a lot better. You can’t even see anything in the pictures I posted and there’s even a few closeups of [...]

Another Busy Weekend

We were swamped again at work today. Jack’s on call and got called in 4 times. So, it hasn’t felt much like a weekend yet.
Tomorrow we’re helping Jack’s younger brother (Sam) move in to their new house. So we’ll be busy all day tomorrow too. It’s neat that they are moving up here from California. [...]

How to Please Your I.T. Department…

I’ve seen this before but I love it:

When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children’s art. We don’t have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse [...]

Please do the needful.

At my job, my title is: Customer Services Supervisor, Technical Support. In other words, if a customer writes in and demands to be given to a manager, I’m that person. I answer general stuff too, especially when we are busy, but I get a lot of the upset, frustrated, and sometimes even the not-so-smart customers. [...]

“I’d rather stick a needle in my eye”

Not.
Yesterday I had a clogged duct removed from my right upper eyelid. It’s the third one I’ve had this year and since I know they take forever to go away, when my doc said they could surgically remove it, I went for it. I didn’t realize this meant I’d lose the duct altogether, but at [...]

Photos Fixed

Whew. I just spend several hours yesterday and today fixing all the photos on this website. First, I moved the album from kirianna.com to jackntracie.com (makes more sense) which meant every place in the blog that I’ve mentioned the photos site had a broken link.
Also, when I converted from Greymatter to pMachine last year, it [...]

Subpoena..

Remember that whole “crazy day” I posted about with the neighbors across the street? Well…. today Jack and I received a subpoena to appear in court to testify on behalf of the State of Washington over this situation on November 4th. Arg. No more drama from my neighborhood… please!

Tots in Socks

Man…. why is it that kids can dirty up and stink up socks faster than you can say Tweedle Beetle Battle?
Is it just MY kids? They get brand new socks and within a week I swear they wore them outside (with no shoes) and stomped in every mud puddle they could find. And then, of [...]

Melt me..

I have to share… I had Cody come up to me so I could give him another look-over. Once I gave him an inspection I gave him a hug and I told him I was really sorry that happened. He said, “it’s ok mom, I can still smile, see?” and grinned at me.
