Strange day...
I sat down at this glowy box tonight with a distinct purpose. Now here I sit, at least 1/2 an hour later, and I have no real clue what I had intended to write about that motivated me here in the first place. I think it had something to do with this past weekend, but alas, it's gone now. Suffice to say, it would have been brilliant, easily eclipsing other internet staples like Cute Overlord (and yes, I know it's called "Cute Overload" but it mandates that I must go there daily to partake in cuteness and since I cannot refuse, it has certainly become overlord-ly :-P) and that awesome Star Wars lightsaber kid! Alas! It has been lost to the vast and dusty annals of my memory. This has happened a lot this past week.

It's been an incredibly strange week. I honestly still feel like I've been walking around in a fog. I felt like crying this afternoon when American Airlines didn't want to let me use my miles for my Alaska trip in August (we worked it out :-) I'm off to the land of the Midnight Sun on August the 6th!) then later, found myself unable to stop laughing when my cat slipped and fell into the shower while I was in there. I guess I'm still dealing with Grandma's death. In light of that, I'm going to try to post several things over the next month that were really cool about my grandmother. I'll be cross-posting this to my MySpace account as well, so if you're a devotee of that one, look there (I do post some things here that don't wind up there and vice-versa :-))

1.) Grandma was a horrific cook. She was pretty much the physical incarnation of all that is dookie-esque about Anglo-Saxon cooking. Yet despite this, she made one HELL of an awesome rhubarb and berry pie. Thanks Grandma...those pies were wonderful. :-)
