Yeah, I’m the Queen…

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

All of my friends can attest to the fact that I am brutally honest and can come across as being mean, though I don’t ever mean to be.  I’ve lost friends because of it, and I’m sure I’ve freaked a few people out on occasion – mostly because I get so fixated on something (or [...]

Memorial Day Thoughts

Monday, May 26th, 2008

I motivated myself to go watch the Memorial Day Parade in downtown Manitowoc this morning.  And I did exactly what I always do which is cry.
I swear I’m the only person I know of who cries at parades.  Or I would be if my mom hadn’t told me she does the same thing.
I guess it [...]

Heeelllooo, Indy

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

So, I motivated myself to go see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on opening night.
Being in a small town, the experience wasn’t ripe with creature comforts (read: stadium seating – a must-have since I’m short) but it was fabulous in the fact that there weren’t a ton of people.  Prices weren’t [...]

The Sheer Idiocy of it All

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

I’m not sure if I’m just being overly cranky this week or if there has simply been a rash of news articles that highlight the asinine.
Today’s lunacy hails from Boston in the form of a pediatric specialist, Dr. Norman Spack who has started a clinic at Children’s Hospital Boston for transgendered children.
When I first glimpse [...]

Where Are The Parents? Update

Monday, May 19th, 2008

So, yesterday I mentioned that a child’s parents in New Jersey were suing over the use of metal bats in children’s baseball as a result of the injuries their son sustained.
DH and I had a brief conversation in the comments section of yesterday’s post where he informed me that the use of metal bats in [...]

Where Are The Parents?

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

You know – I always wonder why children don’t have any common sense and are pretty much lacking all around in the personal responsibility department.
And in response, today’s reply is…
“Oh, wait. These are the parents!”
It seems that parents in New Jersey are holding a metal baseball bat responsible for their son’s brain damage as [...]

I Heart Karmic Retribution

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Okay – Remember way back when I quit my inside sales job because the nightmare of quitting was far less than the nightmare of staying?
(If you’re new you can catch up with Work Drama Part I, Work Drama Part II, Work Drama Part III, Work Drama Part IV.)
Well, in the midst of my crankiness and [...]

One Final Thought For The Day

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

An entire bottle of Pamprin is on the menu this evening…
Can you say “crank-y”?
*sigh*

Just Keepin’ On Keepin’ On

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

So far this week has been a frantic race to get all of my paperwork done and submitted.  I have one more loan application to finish – Just need to write a personal statement to go with that.  I’ll probably get that done later tonight or tomorrow.
Then there’s the visa paperwork – I’ve got the [...]

My Newest Toys

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

In preparation for my trip to Scotland and grad school, I’ve invested in a new laptop.  And I finally made the decision to switch from a PC to a mac.
It only arrived on Friday, and I’m still figuring out how things work and learning how to operate the damn thing and even though I haven’t [...]
