A few of the women I work with are avid readers. And, not suprisingly, they dominantly enjoy suspense/thriller novels. I see quite a few James Patterson novels floating around. The books they read are typically not the kind of books that they want to come back and re-read any time in the future. They’ve already [...]

Twitter Bug
I really need to get on Twitter. I can think of a frajillion mini-blog posts a day, but never do anything with them because, what in the world will I prattle on about once I’ve got my one good zinger written out on the page? The answer? Nothing. So really, Twitter could be right up [...]
Mr. and Mrs. Fussy Pants
Oh, I’m so happy it’s the weekend, I just can’t even tell you! I was ready for this week to be over on Tuesday!
And I feel like this week of the month is an absolute Catch 22, no matter what woman you are. My birth control package tells me it’s the week before the Yuck, [...]
A Work in Progress
What is it about this weather that makes giving someone the benefit of the doubt such a simple task? I know it has everything to do with the fact that this weather completely impacts my entire demeanor. I feel more upbeat and positive. I don’t turn into Grumpy McMumblesalot the second I walk outside into [...]
Not a More Substantial Post
I’m sorry, but I just don’t have it in me.
It has been a Terrible, Awful, No Good, Very Bad day.
It began with waking up…
Progressed to walking outside to stupid cold, rainy weather…
And essentially started with the first, of what I can only imagine will become many, Torture Device Wielding Doctor Appointments. I discovered, in this [...]
California Love
I promise a more substantial post tomorrow…but I just had to comment on this:
I read an article today about the Miss USA Pageant last night. Miss North Carolina walked away with the crown leaving Miss California as the runner up. And apparently, there is controversy over Miss California’s response to her interview question. I’m typically [...]
Is it time to go home yet? No? How ’bout now?
Seriously, what time is it? Why does time drag so badly on Friday’s…well, I mean, every day…but Friday’s especially. Lately, I’ve been trying to keep in mind that it is not wise to wish my time away because no matter what i’m doing (be it work or play), those minutes that are slowly but surely [...]
Pretty Sure the Universe Just Cracked
The Husband and I ran 11 miles last night. Eleven miles. Eleven. As in, one, two, three, four, fivesix, seveneightninetenELEVEN!
Some of you may thumb your noses at our measely accomplishment…but this is me, thumbing my nose at YOU, because hello?! ELEVEN MILES!
We decided to get this Death Run under our belts at some point [...]
Bigby Gave me a Coupon and ROBBED me of a Good Morning
Do you enjoy being belittled and made to feel like an absolute pain in the ass before 7:30 in the morning? I mean, do you enjoy that feeling ever? No? I didn’t think so. Well apparently, certain baristas at Bigby think that that feeling should come standard with a coupon related morning cup of coffee. [...]
I Disagree!
Has anyone seen the Family Guy episode where they talk about “drive-by arguments”? I can’t really explain much about the episode, because I haven’t actually watched the show in quite some time…I just remember these British men driving, stopping abruptly near a pedestrian, hanging out the window shouting “I disagree!” and then screeching away…
And sometimes, [...]
