Will someone please explain to me why Marshall Fields puts BACON in its Oriental Chicken Salad? I mean, I'm sure its very good...but BACON? URGH. There is nothing like having to go all the way back downstairs to get a new lunch because you forgot to check if the Oriental Chicken Salad has pork in it. Yeesh!

Yesterday afternoon Mom called to tell me that Grandma was doing pretty badly and that if I wanted to see her one more time, I should drive down. So, I drove down there trying not to cry (its hard to drive when you are crying). Once I got there, it was about what I thought it would be. She looked pretty bad and could barely talk (she's not ( Read more... )

My grandmother is very sick today. She was rushed to the hospital yesterday for emergency surgery and they found a perforated ulcer in her stomach. Now, she is in intensive care because she's having trouble breathing and they need to get that under control. I'm finding myself wondering if my grandmother has a DNR. I'm pretty sure she does. She ( Read more... )

I'm wide awake and its 3:30 in the morning. I've been awake for an hour and just now decided to come sit at the computer for awhile. I'm hoping that makes me sleepy. How dumb is this? BLAH.

So, today is my birthday. As a part of that day, some folks I love (umm my folks!), gave me an iPod Mini. I'm soooo pumped. I don't know why, but I just am. OK...so I finally feel hip. That's why ( Read more... )

I still can't believe they killed her. For some reason, I had convinced myself that Texas would let this one live. I suppose its bcause I truly believe she is innocent. Perhaps its that I see the tragedy as so much worse if she was innocent because that means she served the last years of her life imprisioned on death row as the convicted murderer ( Read more... )

I just ate a mega treif lunch and I'm not even sure I feel guilty about it. I needed some meat. Normally, I don't eat meat out because its not kosher and who knows what its touched. HOWEVER, I've been cooped up in my house sick as a dog and I have no meat or other protein source there right now so I was dying for something. I HAD to have a ( Read more... )

I bought the perfect dress for my brother's wedding. I got it at the Sak's Off Fifth store (you know, "imperfects" and the like). I thought it was marked down from over $300 to $159. It turns out, it was 70% off that! I got the dress for $47! I hate shopping. This was 15 minutes and out of there for $47. Huh...maybe the universe was looking ( Read more... )

So, today I was driving down my normal drive home and a cop signaled for me to pull over. The cop was standing in the middle of the road with a radar detecter gun thing and there were other cops on the side of the road doing the same thing. Essentially, it was a speed trap. Now, my drive home takes me through the start of some of the more crime ( Read more... )
