2010 and 2011 were two years I’d like to forget for the most part. I’m praying 2012 is a lot better.

I’ve never been one to make New Year resolutions. I’ve always been afraid that I’d never live up to them. That may still be the case, but I really need to jot down some of the things I intend on accomplishing. Here we go…

Wow.  That one word is the best one I have to describe this year’s Dragon*Con for me.  I think out of all three years I’ve been, this was the best.  Well, except Ron Daniels wasn’t there.  That would’ve made it complete.

Let’s begin, shall we?  Thumbnails open to the larger photos. Read the rest of this entry »

Two weeks from today, I will be in Atlanta enjoying the heck out of good company and a great environment!  Dragon*Con 2011 is almost upon us, and I can’t wait to take an extreme break from reality and forget the living hell this year has been so far.

So many costumes to choose from!  Well, not really.  I’ve done too much planning for this shindig for the Ghostbusters to be anything but.  Besides, I don’t really have a desire to do any other form of costuming at the moment.  I’m happy being little ol’ GB me. Don’t think I’m not already planning for next year, though.  I have some stuff in the works for an extra costume or two … If I can get motivated enough.

Wow.  My last post got some attention from a few friends.

Thank you very much for your kind words of encouragement.  I sincerely appreciate them.

I’ve had the chance to take many deep breaths since the other night, lots of time to pray and reflect. I’m feeling a bit better about things.

I’m really anxious for this weekend. It’s our first three-day break since January, and it couldn’t come at a better time.  I’ll be spending time with the in-laws, then I’ll spend the rest of it in my garage working on my new proton pack.  I’m so close to finishing it, then I’ll be able to work on the gun for it. The aim is to have it finished by mid-June. That means it’ll actually happen by mid-July. 

Back to work.

I took some time tonight to refresh the blog.  I’ve given it a new look, and I hope you like it.

Why the heck am I up at 2 a.m. posting this?  Because I’m off tomorrow (today).  Got big things to do today concerning Mom, so I took the entire day off from both jobs.  I won’t say just yet what the business is with Mom, but I’ll just say I hope she sincerely appreciates what we’ve done for her.

Appreciation and gratitude is something that has escaped her over the last month or so.  She’s gotten back to normal, which means she’s complaining about us and everything we do again. She can’t help it.  The neurologist diagnosed her with Intermittent Explosive Emotional Disorder.  Basically, she thinks the world and those closest to her are against her at all times.  It causes her to react in a very unpleasant manner if you even look at her the wrong way for a second.

(I promise there are some positive thoughts after the jump!)
