Marmot birthday

There's a whacky birthday post over at the main site ... bad picture of me circa 1974 as well. Enjoy.

Snarlingmarmot.com is live again

My old site is back up with all archives restored. La Marmot is quite relieved to have the old digs back. Fret not, however, fans of the Marmot Den. This site will stay live as both a backup and a site for additional material on occasion.

And now, I give you this week's Week In Random Observations!

• Dear woman, if a drag queen’s makeup is both more subtle and tasteful than yours, perhaps it is time to change tactics. However, you are amusing the rest of us.
• Love is a many splendored thing. However, please limit yourself to hugs, hand holding or a sweet buss on the cheek in public. If you feel the need to play tonsil hockey, it’s time to either get a room or go home.
• Sharp knives are excellent tools. In the hands of a danger prone marmot, they spell catastrophe.
• An impending 36^th birthday does not exempt you from zits.
• My hair is clearly getting too long when, while performing my morning routine, I utter the phrase “Peace through superior fire power,” and proceed to fumigate the bathroom with the contents of one hairspray bottle.
• My friend, who doesn’t cook often, has a hyper-organized kitchen. I find it far easier to cook there as opposed to my own kitchen where any attempt at culinary hijinx involves rooting around for twenty minutes in the junk drawer for just the right spatula.
• Sometimes, it’s just easier to buy a new wheelbarrow.
• He may be 63 pounds, but the Corgi that ate Springfield has more staying power than I do when it comes to a brisk jog around the backyard.
• A place where you can get both a haircut AND a glass of wine is definitely a place worth revisiting.

Well hello

I suspect some of you are wondering what in the nine levels of hell happened to SnarlingMarmot.com. Yeah. Me too.

As it turns out, there was a glitch. I've been assured numerous tech wonks are working on the problem as we speak but it may be as much as two days before the blog is back online. Sigh.

In the meantime, I've been jonesing to blog, so here I am. After talking with my own techie type (aka Granny), I decided it would be prudent to have a mirror site for the blog so this will be it. You may see similar material here, you may see completely different material here. The beauty of something like this is it's all mine and I can do with it whatever my demented little mind comes up with.

And yes, we'll appear bare bones for a bit until I can get the time to organize stuff efficiently here. Expect regular updates here until the old blog is back up and running.

In other news ... I attended my first SGF Bloggers meeting in several months last night. It was good to see some of the gang. It was also nice to be out again. I was more than a little disappointed Patton Alley has stopped carrying my beloved Boulevard Wheat Ale. Some how I managed to mollify myself with a Blue Moon.

I was also disappointed our numbers were so low last night. It was just me, Andy, Ron, Stoner and Jack. It's always fun being the only gal there. I get to do fun stuff like use the word "bimbo" without irony. Sigh.
