Current temperature: 67. That’s more like it. Now about this drought…138 days of water remaining for my city. What does that mean exactly? That if we don’t get considerable rainfall in the next 138 days we will not be allowed to drink, cook or shower? Please discuss.
Say no if you want, but I’m doing it anyway. I refuse to acknowledge October. Don’t get me wrong–I have nothing against October. I love October. October is my homey. But there is either something seriously wrong with October, or there is something seriously wrong with my calendar, because it is not supposed to be 88 … More If I haven’t turned my calendar yet can I pretend it’s still September?
I got the idea from Calliope to do a “greatest hits of 2005” post, and what better time to post such a list than at the peak of the award show season? Best Best book: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Best movie: Crash Best movie character: Charlie Bucket, played by Freddie Highmore Best TV … More And the winner is…
I don’t care WHAT Susan Sarandon says–those little Stouffer’s Lean Cuisine Bistro meals do NOT taste like they came right off the menu of my favorite corner cafe! Even Suzanna refused the remaining rice from my alleged “Rosemary Chicken” meal earlier today, and this is an animal who regularly eats plush stuffed animals and dead … More Sick
I’m supposed to be packing for my Thanksgiving trek to points south where I will spend the next three days with my dad’s side of the family, but in spite of the piles of clothes strategically placed about my bedroom and the open suitcase on my bed, here I sit talking to “my friends in … More Om for the holidays
A friend and co-worker asked me this afternoon if I felt as bad as I looked. What, I ask you, are you supposed to say to a question like that? The truth is, I don’t feel well, but I wasn’t aware I was sporting the death-warmed-over look today. Sure, my hair is getting a little … More I know I am but what are you?
Every morning around 6:15, before the sun has even considered rising and the owls are still out hunting, I take Suzanna for a walk around our neighborhood. I’m not a morning person, but I like these early morning walks. I like the dimly lit windows of my neighbors’ houses, and I like still being able … More I am an embarrassment to every science and math teacher I ever had
Let me start by saying, and this is mainly for the benefit of those who know me personally, that I am not going to complain about the size of my butt or my weight in this post because I know realistically that I really don’t have a problem in that area. No eye rolling or … More The K really IS special
Our local community college just built a satellite campus on the road I travel to and from work every day. It’s quite impressive, and I’m hopeful that it will draw people from my nearby school community. While it always bothers me when large areas of forest and foliage are plowed under, I understand that some … More Irony
Disclaimer: I am fully aware that an insemination yesterday couldn’t possibly lead to pregnancy symptoms today. The following is completely normal behavior. I actually attempted to fix myself a “real” breakfast today. Somehow the Zone bar doesn’t last as long when I’m sitting around reading blogs and watching “Friends” reruns in my yoga pants and … More Sunday morning coming down
