Weird weather, wonderful weekend, Life 'N Stuff

It's warm, it's cold.  It's dry, it's wet.  It's sort of warm, then very cold again.  *sigh*  I am ready for Spring to stay for a while.  It will freeze tonight, and then be over 70 on Wednesday.  Then, later on, it will freeze again.

It was so nice for Brett, son-of-mine, to spend the weekend with us.  We had a great visit, and he got to see Mom and Dad for a while, too.  It had been too long since he saw them last.

Today is Jonathan's birthday.  It's hard to believe that I'm a step-mom to a 22 year old man.  Wow.  He's had some VERY rough times lately, but today he was happy.  Truly happy.  We chatted and he laughed.  He just sounded great.

I've got computer frustration.  Parallels (the software that runs Windows on my Mac) is not working correctly.  Well, technically, it is running correctly, but if I run Boot Camp (starting the Mac as if it IS a PC) it won't work.  I've been working with it since 2 this afternoon, and I REFUSE to be beaten by it.

Kevin is sick again.  He got over it and was fine for a couple of weeks, but folks at work kept coming in sick, so he's down again.  I sent him to bed at 7:15, and he was out by 7:30.  That sounds really early, but he's up by 3:30 each day, so it's only 8 hours.  He needs sleep.

Mom and Dad should get their new home on Wednesday.  I can't wait.  I'm so excited about it.  I'm excited for them.  They need/deserve a/c and a dishwasher and soft water and a laundry room and and and...well, they deserve more than they have.

We watched Juno this weekend.  We all liked it quite well.  I'm glad Mom got it, even though they didn't care for it.  LOL  At least SOMEONE liked it, right?  I thought it was a great story (although weird) and I couldn't predict the ending.  That's always a plus.

Kevin and I have a favorite forum (message board) site.  It was hacked on Sunday.  It's been around for over 10 years, and this is a first.  I happened upon it during this, and it was the most disturbing thing ever.  Pictures of skinned cats and I won't tell you about the picture of the baby.

The message on every topic was "We won't forget, we won't forgive."  It listed a website, which I did NOT go to.  I hear that it's an anti-scientology sect.  Whatever.  Don't speak out against something in the name of Christ by posting satanic images and ideas.

Freaks.

OK, I gotta go.  Laundry was done yesterday, so it was easy for me to get it caught up again today.  The dryer just buzzed, so it's time to take out the last load.  Have a wonderful night, and live in peace.  Real, honest-to-goodness peace.

I sure hope Kevin feels better soon. Seems like everyone is getting sick. I thought flu season was over for awhile.
Can't wait to see your Mom's new home!
