Just another Sunday, move on, not much to see here. Spent some time with Warren had a nice walk, and got creamed at FoosBall and Pool as usual. Fourteen year old boys have no sense of being a good winner. hehehe.. I swear that kid has grown another inch. When we went for a walk I almost had to jog to keep up with those long legs of his.

Otherwise I did some laundry and basically chilled out. Yesterday was my run and do errand day. Luckily I didn't have a lot to do.

I also watched "God Grew Tired Of Us". If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you go and rent it, it is quite and eyeopener and an excellent documentary. Its amazing how many things we Americans {and Brits and Aussies and Canuks I imagine to a large extent as well} take for granted, flush toilets, electric/gas stoves, washing machines, Internet, Tivo, hot running water. Its hard for us to imagine much of the world doesn't have these luxeries we consider nessessities.

I once had a small taste of what it must be like to be a foreigner when I first went into the local Asian Market {they have the best sugared ginger}. I could figure out a lot of things by the pictures on the cans, and some were subtitled in English, but there were many things I had no idea how to cook or eat and things I recognized but forgot in some places people actually eat them {chicken feet anyone??}. Add in the people talking in a language I didnt' understand and a TV with a video of a bunch of young girls { 7 or 8 I would guess} dancing to a song I recognized, but it wasnt' in English it was in either Korean or Chinese I think. Oddly enough the song was Barbie World {I think that's the title, "I'm just a barbie girl, living in a barbie world"}. Very disconcerting. Like stepping briefly in to another world. Not quite, but sort of.

Since I've not much else on my mind {not unusual}. I'll just hope on the bandwagon and follow the crowd with the meme that isn't. If you want to do, take it and call yourself tagged.

Mini-Bio

In every neighborhood there is at least one house that all the neighbors gossip about. This is a diary from the woman who lives in that house. I am a single mother in her mid thirties. I live in North Dakota with my son, Warren.

I tend to be a bit of a slob, and am the opposite of a girly-girl. I am geek girl, who loves Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Buffy, Angel, action movies, science fiction, action adventure, Dr. Who, and so on and so on.

I love to write and while I don't post much fiction online anymore I would love to be a writer someday. I am also overweight, bipolar and suffer from allergy induced asthma.
