Question of the Century
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Why is that that the most lighthearted thing can go downhill faster than Lindsey Vonn? And why is it that when I try to do what I consider to be the right thing in order to avoid a dilemma of sorts, I kinda get taken to task. Not completely, but still.
I don’t get it and [...]
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night!
Saturday, February 27th, 2010I spent most of the day in bed.
Really.
Didn’t even take a shower until 5 o’clock.
Not sure what was going on – think a minor stomach bug because I felt fine when I woke up this morning, albeit a bit congested. But that’s been going on for weeks.
Which makes me wonder if it’s possible to spay [...]
The Law of Unintended Consequences
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010In Sunday’s post, I talked about how I understood the consequences of skipping down a specific primrose path. And for that particular example, I’d say that’s damn well true.
There are other instances, however, where I apparently didn’t look far enough ahead.
See, I used to be a cryer. If I was tired and got aggravated, I’d [...]
The March of the Spider Brigade
Monday, February 22nd, 2010I’m not your typical squeamish girly-girl by any stretch, but spiders creep me out.
This is due to an unfortunate incident between a naked sevenish-year-old me getting ready to take her bath and a ginormous wolf spider that crawled out of the bathtub drain when I turned the water on.
To say I freaked out would be [...]
Thinking Those Damn Thoughts
Sunday, February 21st, 2010I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. It’s bad enough I spend far too much time in my head on a good day, but lately… well, there’s been a bit of insanity with the whole contemplating thing going on.
I caught up with one of my oldest friends last night, who I’ll call D. It’s [...]
It’s Still Bloody Brilliant
Monday, February 15th, 2010I was in Scotland when the Susan Boyle phenomenon hit from her appearance on Britain’s Got Talent. And it’s still my favorite video to watch on youtube. The look on Simon’s face at 3:22 in is beyond priceless; he looks like a lovesick puppy!
And the whole thing makes me cry, it’s just so fantastic.
A Great Big Hole Of Suckitude
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Okay, so I’ve totally been sucking at this whole blogging thing lately. I got so busy with grad school that I didn’t blog nearly as much as I should have while I was in Scotland and then I got home and was feeling incredibly peaky for months. Add to that the fact that I’ve avoided [...]
It’s Not *Quite* Time to Panic
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I had a job lined up to start on 1 March.
Which is why I haven’t worked since I came back from Scotland.
Was originally supposed to start the beginning of January.
Then 1 March.
Now, never.
It’s not time to freak out quite yet, but if I don’t find something to bring in money within the next 2-3 weeks, [...]
It’s Monday!!!
Monday, February 1st, 2010Okay, so there’s usually nothing exciting about Mondays. Today’s no different. Except that I have a different ‘tude.
For the moment, anyway.
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been cataloging books at my parents’ church’s library – that’s essentially finished, though there are a few wrap-up things that need to be done. Don’t know when that’ll [...]
