• Welcome to my life

  by Meredith Newton February 16, 2006
  It looks like any devastating storm has blown over.  For now. We scrambled like hell earlier this week and were able to come up with some money.  The fact that she hasn't called to bitch at me tells me it worked.  The house is still ours.  For now. Valentine's Day was terribly ...

• The next few days

  by Meredith Newton February 12, 2006
  I got a call last week from a living history farm museum.  I worked for one some years back.  I would have enjoyed that more if the boss and manger weren't such a royal assholes.  I interviewed with this other museum two years ago and didn't get the job.  It came open again....

• Back in the saddle, sort of

  by Meredith Newton February 8, 2006
  Hi all, Just have a minute here.  First, I wish to express my sadness at the loss of our sister Briony.  While I never met her in person, I am proud to say that I did know this wonderful person.  We will miss her dearly. As I wrote, I found out at the last minute that I was teachi...

• Going underground

  by Meredith Newton February 5, 2006
  I want nothing that society's got/I'm going underground.  I just LOVE The Jam! Well, will wonders never cease?  First I've received a huge flood of response for people who want to contribute to my Jazz Age book.  I'll start looking over their resumes tomorrow. Second, I'm sure you...

• Happy Super Bowl Weekend

  by Meredith Newton February 3, 2006
  No, I'm not a huge sports fan, but I will be watching the big game. I'm becoming quite adept at hanging up on what's-her-name.  She flipped her wig yesterday because I was unable to get a car to pick up my daughter today, meaning she had to take a day off.  There were valid solutions...

• It's my fault, of course

  by Meredith Newton February 1, 2006
  Not too terribly much today...... I don't think that school is giving me those classes.  But, if you read my last posting here, it wouldn't be a surprise.  Quite frankly, I don't think these people have the brains to pick their nose, much less run a third rate community college (nothing a...

• Here we go again, Part Two Million

  by Meredith Newton January 25, 2006
  What an interesting past week this has been. First, let's get the marriage nonsense out of the way.  Me and what's-her-name were actually getting along pretty good. We didn't discuss the relationship, just other things.  But due to financial problems - once again - I'm back to being ...

• I know all there is to know about the crying game

  by Meredith Newton January 16, 2006
  I watched that movie again today for the first time in ages.  I love that movie. A VERY interesting weekend.  On Saturday I took my daughter to see "Hoodwinked."  It's essentially a take on Akira Kurosawa's classic film "Roshamon" whereby a crime is told from 4 different points of vi...

• New song you've been waiting for

• Just a quickie

  by Meredith Newton January 11, 2006
  Maybe I shouldn't say "just a quickie."  That's how I got pregnant.  Wait, that wasn't a quickie.  Never mind. Hopefully soon I'll start to post the lyrics to those songs I've been writing.  Some of you have been asking for them.  As soon as I can send them I will.  My...
