I feel the need to complain, not about big things, but the little things that are just getting under my skin lately. I like to think I have a fairly positive outlook on life (rosy some say), but there are time when even my optimism can’t hold up. I hate whining, but I just have [...]
*sigh* I’ve been at work for less than an hour and I’m already feeling like I want to bail. I’m getting soft and squidgy doing this kind of work. I feel like my trouble-shooting skills are fading because there’s so little call to use them. When there’s a problem here, we shove it off to [...]
By the time I got to work yesterday, I had a headache. A big, fat, unrelenting headache. I drank water. I took Aspirin. I had a freaking huge glass of fully-caffeinated Diet Coke. I chased the Diet Coke with a cup of strong coffee. I drank more water. But it never went away. In fact, [...]
I’ve been trying to make some positive progress on all of the things that have been hanging out there, unfinished. The laundry is getting done. There are fewer traces of our move: an unpacked box in the bedroom, a few lost boxes in the living room, and a bookshelf full of boxes in the guest [...]
There’s nothing like a rolling thunderstorms and a barrage of hail to welcome the new summer.
I haven’t seen a single piece of junk mail in over a week. No bills either. All because I lost the one and only key to our mailbox. While I’m sure Jon and I could’ve opened the mailbox and replaced the lock ourselves — he’s an engineer and I’m the crafty spawn of two of [...]
If you’re going to be early to work for the first time in months, the world will do everything in it’s power to right itself. Like make the Dunkin’ Donuts drive thru move a snail’s pace. Or dump a large, icy cold cup of coffee in your lap. It might also strategically place elderly drivers [...]
I love it when I get in my car and have to turn up the volume a little more with each successive song because they just keep getting better. I bought my first Counting Crows album back in January of 1994 right after seeing them on Saturday Night Live. More than 13 years later I [...]
The phone has been ringing non-stop today. It’s my day to man the phones and I swear the entire world knows it. As I was stepping out to get lunch I heard it ring and had to supress the urge to answer. I enjoy talking with publishers on the phone and the instant service I [...]
Thanks to Margaret Mitchell, I’ve been lost in the Antebellum and Reconstruction era South all weekend. Cliched though it is, I just can’t put down Gone With the Wind. I did manage a few loads of laundry, got my car inspected, went to Ink About It, brought lunch to my husband at work, groomed the [...]
