Oh Christmas Tree

I saw a flatbead truck full of Christmas trees on my way to work this morning. It’s November 20. If you buy your tree now, is it really going to make it to December 25? Thanksgiving has totally snuck up on me. I’ve been telling myself that I’ve got plenty of time to clean and [...]

Wise Enough to Know…

…that these quizzes don’t mean a thing. You’ve Experienced 68% of Life You have all of the life experience that most adults will ever get. And unless you’re already in your 40s, you’re probably wise beyond your years. How Much Life Experience Do You Have?

In the Holiday Spirit

Your Christmas is Most Like: The Muppet Christmas Carol You tend to reflect on Christmas past, present, and future… And you also do a little singing. What Movie Is Your Christmas Most Like?

And that moment when you realize you just can’t do it all? Yeah. That moment was more devastating than I would’ve [...]

Snack Time

Me: I keep trying to convince Jon we need a small rodent as a petpet for the cats. Gillian: Somehow I see Tia mistaking her petpet for a snacksnack.

They Mean Well

My e-mail is gone. I was reading something from Debbie this afternoon and when I refreshed, everything was gone. As in every single e-mail that I sent, saved, or received before that point disappeared. Webmail was working but my folders were just mysteriously empty. A little poking on Blue Host’s message boards revealed that they [...]

High Five

I went to see Borat tonight and can safely say that I haven’t laughed that hard in ages. It’s totally inappropriate and yet unbelievably funny.
