It’s possible I am a geek

admin | May 31, 2010

I got many lovely, lovely prezzies yesterday (and many thanks for all the good wishes) but the one that made me giggle the most was this one: Come to the Dark Side — We have cookies. No, seriously. There were then several inappropriate jokes made involving the phrase “Yoda cookies.”

Brrr

It was 38F when I got up this morning. I realize that’s practically balmy for some of you, but for us down here, it’s effin’ cold. Some highlights from my weekend: Saturday morning, the phone rings. Me: Hello? Collection agency dude, from India or Pakistan: Hello, is this mumble-mumble? Me: What? CAD: Is this mumble-mumble? [...]

Critter-sitting

admin | December 14, 2009

I did some for The Boy and The Girl this weekend, as they flew to Chicago to celebrate The Girl’s birthday. (Happy Birthday, Girl!) This is a sneak preview for next week and beyond, when I’ll be critter-sitting while they’re gone to NC for the holidays. This was my first round of sitting since they [...]

For one group of residents in certain building numbers, the inspectors will not need to enter their apartments.

If you have any to spare, please direct some towards The Boy today, as he is preparing for a huge interview this morning. Really. It’s a big deal. What’s In My Head Today? Today’s quote – “Fictions, my friend. The vulgar fictions of a demented Irishman. “

More weekend fun

Saturday, I went with the various BFF’s mentioned previously to Appleton’s CafĂ© in Lake Mary, which has to be the most decked-out-for-Halloween place I’ve ever set foot in. I can’t even begin to describe all the stuff they had, but the thing that impressed me most were the assortment of creepy Victorian portraits on the [...]

Easily amused

I’m critter-sitting for Boy and Girl this weekend. Dog critter needs two pills in the mornings and evenings. Pill delivery is accomplished by scooping out a spoonful of peanut butter, then sticking the pills in the middle. There are two major benefits to this. Dog critter gets her pills, and I get to watch her [...]

Virtue is not always its own reward

admin | July 20, 2009

When the alarm went off this morning, I had a little debate with myself. I was sleepy enough to want to go back to it for at least another half hour, rather than the 9 minutes I and my snooze button typically allow myself. But no, I thought. I had slacked off on the exercise [...]

My BFFs are made of win

admin | July 19, 2009

They all are, for various reasons, but this post will focus on micehell, who not only bought me dinner last night, but also got me, as a belated birthday present, this awesome thing right here. Therefore, she is the awesomest thing ever in the whole world. But it occurs to me I’m being selfish. There’s [...]
