Meglet Rambles On

Between work, life, and sprained ankles, I haven’t had as much time to put into my fish tanks lately as I usually do. So this weekend, I’ve decided it’s time for some serious maintenance. To start the weekend, I took the 6 Congo Tetras that lived in the 46 gallon bowfront tank back to the [...]

The last two weeks have not been very pleasant. Sample: 1. work-Print server sharing 50 printers to 3 departments. Dead. 18+ hours to replace 2. home-one of my favorite fish. Fine Tuesday night, dead Wednesday morning. 3. work-the new phone system. So many issues, the phone guy spent 9 hours on the phone with support [...]

Birthday Roses, originally uploaded by meglet. One of my wonderful co-workers had flowers delivered for my birthday! He says that no woman (no matter how short) should be without flowers on her birthday. Thanks Milton!

I have regrouped, enlisted reinforcements (in the form of better gardening gloves) and finally ripped out the rest of the Periwinkle vines today! There are still a few stragglers left that I will need to pull as time goes by, but the worst is done, and the lilies are rescued. Found: 6 Day Lilies Many [...]

It’s Sunday, and I should be out enjoying the sunshine, but it’s too bright out there. I should be cleaning, since I’m not outside, but I don’t feel like it. So here’s a few more pictures since I’m bored. Ready to attack trouble: Hiding: Fresh cookies: Now I think I’ll go have a cookie, close [...]

A few years ago, I was inspired to create a small raised garden outside my patio door. I raided Mom’s greenhouse, and ended up with Tiger Lilies, Day Lilies, a lavender plant, and some Vinca Minor (aka Periwinkle) to use as ground cover. The theory was that the lilies would grow nice and tall above [...]

Around here, I might make the decisions, but they have to be voted on by the committee. So when I got a new blanket for the back of the couch last week, it was inspected immediately. Fortunately, it passed: Today, I put a new sheet over the ugly recliner by the window. It’s a very [...]

The last few days have seen some crazy insane weather. Sunny and cold, sunny and warm, rainy and cold, snow then rain then hail then rain. And lots more rain. At least the weather has been a great excuse to curl up in the comfy chair by the window and read for hours. I had [...]

I’m really, really, really tired of the cold. Where the heck is spring already? It looks like a beautiful sunny day today, until you step outside and turn into a popsicle. Just like yesterday. Sun should mean WARMTH darn it! Having a happy geek moment with a program called Synergy. It allows a keyboard and [...]

Amazon released their rumored Kindle App for iPhone today! I’ve already downloaded and installed it, and it’s great for those times when I can’t or don’t carry my Kindle with me. While books can’t be purchased directly from the iPhone app, any books that have been previously purchased can be accessed and downloaded. Plus, the [...]
