This is the second or third time I've opened up this web page to make an entry, and gone "eh..." and ended up closing it without typing anything.
I had two moments of cheerfulness on the way home this afternoon - drove through two rainbows! I think Moira saw them when I pointed to them, too. I'm not sure.
I'm at that place in my life when I'd like to make a few friends so I have somebody to talk with during the day - but the idea of going out and meeting new people is exhausting. People suck, as a general rule, and I just don't have the energy to use on sucky people right now.
Speaking of sucky people, if I ever doubted it, I now have proof that karma really does come back around.
My Adiumy is a turkey wearing a pilgrim hat.
I think I'm going to see if I can find any sane, mature people who want to play some sort of role playing game. I was looking over the 3.5 edition players' handbook last night... interesting new stuff. J also showed me Victoriana which I think I'd enjoy.
Moira is still sick. She's evidently like me when I was a kid - get a cold; develop a secondary ear infection. *sigh*
It's a wonderful rainy November day here - not very cold; great napping weather. I'm hoping to get both kids asleep so I can check out for a little while.
I'm looking forward to my date on Saturday! I didn't even realize it, but the new Harry Potter is coming out, and J's taking me to the movies! Hopefully our babysitter is available.
More babbling another time.
mostly pointless meanderings

I can certainly sympathize about not having the time and energy to meet new people, and I don't even have kids yet.
Also, it is EXTREMELY hard to find a good gaming group. If you aren't willing to put up with a few people roughly like Mike from Something Positive while you sort the wheat from the chaff, consider other hobbies.
Yeah, with all the parents out there, I held out the hope that there was a pool of potential friends - however, I've discovered that being a parent has just added another level of non-conformity to me & J. It's just another thing that we're different about that many people just don't seem to understand. *sigh*
Hey, I don't mind putting up with a few people like Mike as long as I can beat the crap out of them like Mike gets regularly. (It'd be nice if for every Mike there was a Davan and Peejee...) Good gaming groups are damn near impossible to find - everybody's life is so busy as a general rule anyway; it's hard to find several hours to sit down and enjoy it... we tried to get together with some people after you & Grier left town. Kris was a good DM to a point - that point being that he'd get drunk, and insist he wasn't drunk, and then do things like give our first or 2nd level characters a 12th level sorcerer to deal with, and then bitch at us when we all got killed. The other players were eh, too. I've been wanting to improve my ability as a player (cause you probably remember I was pretty crappy back when y'all were here) but that requires at least SOME practice. ;)
