Just checking in...
Yes, I'm still very much on hiatus, although I do comment on blogs from time to time. My next post will most likely be the 9/11 tribute post for the 2,996 Project. I will probably post it a couple of days early and forward date it for 9/11/06.
What can I say? The world seems to be getting crazier and crazier. There's the case of the dumb broad who is involved in a magazine contest to help her lose her virginity. However, she insists she isn't being pimped out because, darn it, she has a Masters Degree from Smith College. Then XXX-President B.J. Clinton whines about the upcoming miniseries on the events leading up to 9/11. Never mind he was president for eight years while this whole thing was being planned, and that Bush was president for less than eight months. Clinton was the bestest president ever in the history of the U.S.A. and 9/11 was all Bush's fault. /sarcasm
Also, Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, was killed, which was really sad. I heard on the radio today that hateful, nasty, petty, insane militant feminist (but I repeat myself) Germaine Greer said that Irwin's death was just nature getting its revenge. I wonder what people will say about Germaine Greer when she dies?
On a personal note, my back has been really acting up for the past week. Moving furniture (because my mother was unhappy with the setup in the living room), bathing the dog and grocery shopping are what caused this latest flare-up. To make things worse, I am constantly dropping things, which means I am constantly having to bend down and pick them up. I slept on a heating pad last night and I'm sitting with one on my back right now. The pain medicine helps, but only if I take more than I'm supposed to. So basically, I'm pretty miserable and grumpy lately. (I'm sure you could tell by this post that I'm not in the best of moods. Trolls take note -- I'm in no mood to tolerate stupid or rude comments.)
On a happier note, I noticed the love bugs are flying around as they do every May and September. That means fall is just around the corner. Good...I hate summer.

Ick, ick, ick! After seeing those bugs I am even more glad to live up here in the wilds of Ohio.
From what I've read, Germaine Greer has had enough nasty stuff said to her by her own mother to last a lifetime. Her, I don't pity though. She's done plenty of damage herself. Childhood abuse is no excuse for what you do when you grow up.
For all that there are so many worried about this country becoming a theocracy, etc., there seem to be plenty of people happy to tell *me* what to do! Sorry, but I'm perfectly happy as a stay-at-home mom and although homeschooling can drive me up the wall, don't you *dare* tell me I'm wasting my education, nor how *my* children should be educated!
Hope your back is better soon.
