I had SUCH a good weekend, the weather was gorgeous, I actually slept at night, I managed to snatch a few days’ alone time out at the country place, I got the strawberry wine racked and the beet wine bottled. Did some baking, did some cooking, dried some tomatoes… The whole nine yards.
Why then, am [...]

Discussing a New Lunch Venue
Posted in Lunchtime Adventures on September 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Denise and I have been loyal fans of the Target/Starbucks experience for, oh, about 5.13 years now. We tried the mall but as administrative assistants, just couldn’t afford to go there daily (we’re nothing if not creatures of habit). And plain old grocery stores are just lame. So, Target afforded us the opportunity to shop [...]
Is that My Grandma in the Mirror???

I swear I need more beauty sleep than your average va-va-va-vixen, because upon seeing my own sleep deprived reflection this morning, I was CERTAIN some 120 year old crone had sneaked into my bathroom this morning and that’s who I was looking at. But alas, it was just me, scaring the living daylights out of [...]
The Hissing Goose

The building where I work now has a fatal flaw. It’s perpetually surrounded by geese. Keep in mind that of all the animals in the animal kingdom, geese rank higher than snakes and mice on my “Critters to Be Feared” list. Way higher. No lie.
Anyway, I’ve been so proud of myself, walking quasi-nonchalantly past these [...]
And On a Lighter Note : Hidden Meaning
Posted in Things to Ponder on September 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Women are constantly looking for hidden meanings behind things boy-type people say. And sometimes there actually ARE meanings hidden in things men say, whether or not they will admit it.
But a good friend of mine agrees (yes, he’s a he) that if a guy walks up to you in Starbucks and deliberately makes eye contact and tells [...]
Power Suit

Today I’m wearing my “Don’t Fcuk With Me” suit. Along with my clicky peep-toe heels that say “I Mean Business, But I’m Still A Girl.” Regardless, it’s a total confidence booster and I needed that because I had to go discuss a few things with my daughter’s principal (meaning I told him I think he’s a spineless weasel). [...]

I read about a family who sold almost everything they own and then packed up their lives into a Winnebago, fueled with biodiesel. Imagine that! No job, no roots, no junk, nothing holding them back and free as the wind in the trees.
And I thought to myself, “I can get behind that.” I mean, I can [...]
Color Coordination Intimidation
Posted in Various and Sundry on September 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I have the WORST cold in the history of colds and in the interest of de-frazzling my “tomorrow morning,” I fueled up the grocery-getter last night. On my way home, though, I drove past a group of teenager-ish young men who apparently were in a gang. My tip off? Their snappy color-coordinated outfits. Now, forgive [...]
Maybe I Don’t Hate It Here
Posted in Various and Sundry on September 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m trying to get into the swing of things at this new job. The people are fun/nice, the job really isn’t SO bad, so maybe I don’t actually hate it here.
But danged if I don’t miss my guys…
Mysteriousnessocity

Today at lunch, I met with Denise and Nancy at Tarbux (Starget?). And we laughed and chatted and gossiped about people Nancy doesn’t even know, but it just didn’t feel like she didn’t know them because she is such a natural part of our little group. She just clicks, I guess.
Anyway, what this post is [...]
