It’s like snorkeling

Hi. I’m alive. Sorry for disappearing. The social calendar has become a nuclear fusion. Folks start to pop in to say “Hi, how are ya? Let’s have lunch/dinner/go shopping/go to the movie!” from all directions. Dios mio! I don’t even have time to do laundry! I mean, I have been wearing skirts 2 days in a row and that is starting to scare people in the office. LOL. Pretty much, I have 2 pairs of standard pants that I’d wear, the gray one and the black with pin stripes. Occasionally, I’ll go with skirts. So, when I run out of...

Had it maid

Brandon mentioned that IF we were really really good and eating in a lot more, we could possibly afford to have a maid service to come in once a month for a thorough cleaning of the place. I mean, we pick up after ourselves and clean the house on a semi-regular basis.  Not Martha Stewart tidy, but cozy.  Neither one is a clean freak and we all know I only dust like twice a year…right? So, once a month of professional deep clean is a good idea?  What do you think?...

Hobbying

I decided to start a new categories on the blog, “Hobbying”. Then I got to thinking, just exactly how many hobbies do I have? Does anyone have this many hobbies? I mean, if they define what I do as a hobby. Ah! Dilemma from the weirdest corner of my mind! MSN defines hobby as “enjoyable activity: an activity engaged in for pleasure and relaxation during spare time”. For sure, I do have a few honest to goodness hobbies: #1 Blogging.Duh! 🙂 I blog here, there, over there, and now there too. I love it! I mean, I get to write...

Circular Logic Processor

Starbucks is such a wonderful place to hear random conversations. This guy, we’ll call him UberGeek, was telling a story that goes like this. Ms. DumbAss pops out of her office as UberGeek walks down the hallway. Ms. DumbAss: Hey, Computer Guy! (From the gist of it, dude’s a programmer, not even an IT support guy.) Can I ask you a question? UberGeek: Sure. (Being awfully nice) What can I help you with? DA: What size monitor is this? UB: That would be a 17-inch flat panel monitor. DA: Oh, I bought this glare reducing screen and it doesn’t fit....

A dash of madness

I completely lost my mind last night. I guess after reading Harry Potter with [spoiler…highlight if you’re ready] all the people dying (and for crying out loud! Rowling, do you REALLY need to kill off Hedwig?? Dammit woman!!!)[/spoiler] and all the emotional rollercoaster-ing I did, a fuse in my head went *poof*. I burst into unreasonable fountain of tears. Like Australian barn mice Steve Irwin busted into, my emotions ran amok. I was pissed off. I was paranoid. I was pessimistic. After much yelling, crying, and sifting through the rubbles, I found out what it all was. I was scared....
