Needless expense
Someone please explain to me why graduation announcements are so freaking expensive?! The only answer I can come up with, and believe me when I say I’ve been thinking about it, is that they’re expensive because they can be. The same r...
Bah-humbug!
Is it too early to sound bah-humbug and say that I hate the Christmas season?! Okay, I shouldn’t say that because I don’t have the Christmas season. As a matter of fact, I’ve recently gotten something Christmas-y to share with y&#...
Junk mail… Get thee out of my inbox!!
I’m thinking maybe I should open a new email address. I don’t know that I want to, but my inbox is always full of junk mail, no matter how much crap I relegate to the spam folder. I’m just not sure what to do about it. I mean, do...
Only at Wal-Mart
Matt and I were in Wal-Mart a few days ago, which is always a fiasco. We had a cart full of groceries, got to the check out, and it was there that I nearly caused a scene! The Hispanic woman in front of us had four small kids, two of which were scr...
Leaky Windows
It’s been raining here on and off for days. The windows all leak, some worse than others. I really, really, really need to caulk them. I even bought the caulk and safety products like gloves and a caulk gun… yay for remembering the cau...
Car Insurance
Earlier this year, Matt and I had a bit of trouble with our car insurance. We’ve been with the same company for 5+ years, and though they were trying to make us pay another damn deposit, we decided to stick with them. We get a fairly reason...
Want & Need
Summer school is now officially over. It’s over and I need a day off. The 10 page paper ended up being almost 14 pages. Sadly, my prof made it clear that anything over 10 pages would receive a zero, so I had to cut it down. Trust me whe...
That’ll teach me…
I am so freaking pissed off right now!! I’ve had a very long day. VERY FREAKING LONG! Hell, I’ve had a very freaking long week!! Matt and I went to the eye doctor today, which was an ordeal for him because they did a bunch of extra ...
No work for the weary?
So, I said recently, in another post, that I’ve been jobless for the last 10 years. There’s never really been any reason for me to work. Now there is, the economy is horrible, it’s affecting me as much as anyone else. The kick...
Judge me, go ahead…
Wife Swap is on my TV right now. What a wreck. I watch it, but only because I can’t not watch it. Woman A, a burlesque dancer who relies on her mom to take care of her family, went into Woman B’s house, looked around at the mess, an...
Why, god WHY?!
Someone save me from my neighborhood. I think I’ve written before about my lovely neighbors. There’s a house next door to ours that’s constantly got new tenants. People come looking, they move in, they live there a little whil...
A not-so-quick update…
I’m here, sort of. I’m about to complain, a lot, so if you want to skip that, I totally understand. If you chose to read what I’ve written below, don’t blame me if your eyes pop out of your head at the utter disarray this ...
Grooming Ani… take two!!
I’m having a problem, which to some may sound stupid, but is serious for me. Several months ago, I wrote about horror groomer #1 here in town. I took Ani to her, she cut his head, treated him roughly, gave him horrible razor burn on his tum...
A change, will do you good?
Well, I’m still here… mostly. I’ve been sick for the last week or so, I’m getting over it, but yeah, that’s where I’ve been. The other two weeks before that, well, I have no excuse except to say that I have nothi...
So far…
Being back in school has been somewhat bittersweet for me so far. A year off may not sound like a long time but it’s forever!! I went from staying up all night and getting up when I wanted to, to hitting the sack at 11pm because I have to b...
Grooming Ani
Every two months or so, I take Anakin to the groomer. He’s a shih-tzu, which means his hair can get out of control if he’s not taken care of properly. Generally, by the time I get him to the groomer he’s already looking like a mop...
Enabled
I wonder if it’s possible to be a self-enabler? If so, that’s me. I could talk myself into, and out of, any problem or want I could have. Want a Snicker bar or a pint of Ben and Jerry’s? Okay, no problem, it’s just one...
Needing change…
I tell you, I have been slackin’ lately. Slacking on everything, not just the blog. Slacking on Plurk, on housework, on reading, on paying the bills and getting groceries, I’ve even been slackin’ on World of Warcraft and that...
