Not For The Want Of Trying

Monday, August 7th, 2006

OK, best laid plans etc. etc… Ran out of time on Friday to post an entry. Had to drive over to my parents house as Amy and I were staying the night there (Mel’s birthday celebrations the next day et al). Talked with mum and dad for a while — primarily dad in regards to [...]

Christmas…

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

Just got back from midnight mass and it was pretty good. My knees and ankles were playing up again so I didn’t do too much of that “stand up, sit down, kneel, stand up again” kinda stuff. Just did my best. Tomorrow – well today rather – Amy and I will be going to my [...]

Random Note To Self…

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

…That maybe it’s a good idea to occasionally come here FIRST and put in an entry rather than leave it until the end of the day, then get too tired to actually make said entry. With this in mind I WAS going to come here first this morning but we ended up having a fairly [...]

That Time Of Year

Saturday, November 26th, 2005

Amy and I did the ol’ Thanksgiving thing again this year (well Amy has to really. It would be un-American of her not to). Anyhow, she prepared pretty much all of the food (I think I’m suffering from a bit of burnout? I just wanna relax and do nothing these past few days) and we [...]

Sunday – A Very Uneventful Post

Sunday, July 17th, 2005

My weekend was a bit “Twilight Zone-y” this week. Nothing much out of the ordinary, per se’, but the “ordinary” things I did weren’t with the same people I’d normally do them with…..if that makes sense at all? I started off by going to my parents house on Saturday. My mum is visiting with friends [...]

Health Tips From Mysterious & Distant Blogs

Sunday, June 19th, 2005

Two days ago I came across an entry in a blog which talked about cramps/Charley horses (sp). I have no idea exactly where I read it or which blog it was on but I’m truly thankful that I found it that day. Basically the writer was saying that their mother had always told them to [...]

OK, So I’m A Highlander

Monday, June 6th, 2005

My secret is out! OK, it might not be a secret as such but more a statement. My family name is a Sept name of the Clan MacFarlane…..and I’m pretty proud of it I’d have to say – even if at times there were less than desirable incidences that are associated with the Clan – [...]

Musical Mothers Day

Sunday, May 8th, 2005

Just a short entry today as I’m going over to my parents house for Mothers Day and another fun-filled day of fun and excitement (I actually mean that. When the Miller Clan get together it’s loud, riotous and a lot of laughter!) RAGE (the best music video show on the entire planet) played some cool [...]

Rememberance

Saturday, April 30th, 2005

It’s been a very busy and a very sad week. Saying goodbye to Ames at the airport on Tuesday morning with a future that can only be described, at the moment, as “uncertain”. On Thursday I got a call from my friend, Daniel. He had gone walking and cycling up in the mountains but he [...]

“Just Throw Rocks At Him”

Tuesday, April 19th, 2005

There are some very strange people in this world. Some are strange in a good way. Others are not so fortunate. Then again there are some that you just can’t categorize, but you know they’re really really quite odd. Point in case: Our neighbor…… Now while we don’t really have much to do with him [...]
