Foolish Sucka

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

There is this thing that runs in my family. We tend to get a bit obsessive when we find something we like. Whether it’s a new band, a new food or just a new way to humiliate yourself at parties, those of us born with this borderline OCD trait tend to take a good thing [...]

Food or Textbooks? Hmmm.

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

I started my history class today. It should be… interesting. The professor seemed to relish telling the class that we probably didn’t possess the writing skills necessary for college, but assured us that he would meet us in the middle. Not to be totally and completely egotistical, but I think I will enjoy blowing that [...]

Blah. And Blech.

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I’m so… bleh.
My back hurts.
I had to miss my first day of class this morning to go have 5 crowns put on. Now my mouth hurts too.
I’m all anxious and sad and worried and I’m not sure what to do with my life or where I should be going or if its the right time [...]

Ain’t No Party Like My Nana’s Tea Party

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Saturday night was the big 30 year anniversary party for my parents. I just have to say that it was a rousing success. Excellent food, a huge crowd, tons of drinking and dancing and laughing and more drinking.
Why do I have a picture of the cake instead of my mom and dad? Because I actually [...]

I Wish I Got Paid Just to Be Me…

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

… but, I don’t. And chances are neither do you. It seems to work that way.
I started my business some time ago with the intention of never having to work for “the man” again. And its been great. Fun projects, cool clients. Deadlines I could cope with, the chance to learn and grow and go [...]

I Came. I Saw. I May Have Done the Robot.

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

As mentioned earlier, Saturday night I got all dolled up and went to my 10 year high school reunion. I wore shoes that were not flip flops and put on makeup. I twisted my hair into some semblance of submission. I put on my snazzy new dress and a pair of earrings and got ready [...]

A Few Things

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

I just ordered pizza. Because its really stinking hot here and there is no way I’m turning the oven on.
I’m really tired. And bummy. And blah. I don’t know why, but I have an idea and a plan of action.
I HATE scrapbooking. I really, really hate it.
Tomorrow is my high school reunion. I’m looking forward [...]

I’m a Bad, Bad American

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

I have a confession to make. I hate the Olympics.
Ok, hate is probably too strong a word. More like “I have a complete and utter lack of interest in the Olympics.” I’m just not a sports person. I have tried, on more than one occasion, to follow a Raiders game while my husband screams at [...]

Happy Birthday Jason!

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Jason turns 34 today! He bought himself a set of drums on Sunday so he got his present early, but it was too good a deal to pass up. Here is the birthday boy, rocking out:

In the Grip of Madness

Friday, August 8th, 2008

The kind of madness that makes you ignore your sore throat and achy body and forces you to go out and dig out another 15 square foot patch to add onto your garden. Because MORE WEEDING is just what you need.
I often get this madness. Nowadays, I welcome it. I wait for it. I make [...]
