That would be the grammar police. Not that I am an expert, but there are some things that just bug the heck out of me. Examples are misuse of there/their/they're or your/you're. I find it especially irksome (and also hilarious) when these violations are printed, and better yet, publicly distributed. OK, here's the deal, I was driving to work today and was behind someone with one of those annoying honor roll stickers on their car...."My child is a honor student at...." Luckily, for ASD and for myself, this was not a local school so I don't have to worry about sending my child to a school that should probably have their honor students doing grammar checks for them!

That's all.

P.S. For all you MOA residents.............get out and VOTE TODAY!!!! (I would prefer you vote for Eric Croft, but it is a free country after all)

Wine and Sleep

Last night Todd and I went to the ASO Wine Tasting. It was crowded and hot as usual, but a lot of fun. We tried some really great wines, and I even remembered to mark the ones I really liked so I'll actually remember the names next time I'm out to get wine.

Mason stayed the night (yes, the whole night) with my parents. It was my first night away from him, but of course he did great with Nana and Papa. It was wonderful to sleep all night, and even sleep in until 9am today, but I was excited to go pick him up and spend the rest of my day with his smiling face.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I am so excited to report that Mason went to bed last night at about 10pm and didn't wake up until 7am!!!! Of course, since I can't breathe through my nose, I was up on and off all night...

Hopefully this will be his new sleeping pattern, but I won't hold my breath. How great would that be!

Thar she blows...finally

It finally happened. After months of being told Mt Redoubt was going to erupt at any minute...and then being told, oh nevermind, it calmed down...last night it finally happened. As of last count, the volcano has erupted 5 times. So far, Anchorage seems to be avoiding any ashfall, and none is expected, thank god!

Here's ADN's site if anyone is interested.

I should take stock in Kleenex

I thought there was some rule that moms can't get sick. My mom never seemed to get sick. Actually, she still doesn't...as she says, she "doesn't have time". Well, neither do I but nonetheless here is this nasty cold. I'm blaming it on my days working in the ER last week. My immune system has been pretty sheltered for a while, that was probably more than it could handle. That's one nice thing about working in a hospital, you build up a lot of resistance. Anyway, here I am, sick. I just hope I don't give my cold to Mason.
