We finally joined Costco this weekend, largely because groceries are expensive and baby stuff is too.

OMG there's like 35 pounds of fruit and vegetables in my fridge. I'm not even exaggerating, because everything came in a 5lb package and I got an embarrassing array of produce. Tonight I had asparagus, plums, watermelon and kiwi for dinner. My ( Read more... )

My DM has finally lifted the ban on hiring, since none of the potential transfers in the district turned out to be desirable transfers and so we are accepting applications again. Which means that everyone who fills one out feels obligated to call us and check on the status of their application, despite the fact that I cheerfully tell everyone that ( Read more... )

Why?

Why is everyone so frigging afraid of the word venti? It's right up there on the damn menu where you can read it.

I'm sorry, but yesterday I seemed to have a ridiculous number of people going to great lengths to avoid the word venti. And I'm not talking about the people who say "large" because I don't give two shits about people who insist on small ( Read more... )

Writer's Block: Change for the Better over a Decade

I'm no longer the kind of person who would marry my ex-husband.

Seriously. In June, it will be exactly ten years since I married my ex. At the time, I was 6 sizes bigger than I am now, and I was a single mom. I thought nobody else would ever want to date me, much less marry me. And he had enough money to take care of us, which is exactly what he ( Read more... )

For those of you who are NOT on Greg's Facebook: We're having another baby!

LOL, I told him I wanted to wait to tell everyone until after we went to the doctor today, and for the most part we did wait. (we told people at Arthur's party on Saturday, but that was largely because I wasn't drinking at all, which was highly suspicious if you didn't know ( Read more... )

Book Log 2009

cthulugrrl Jan 05, 2009 19:29

My Book Log went so well last year that I've decided to continue it this year.

My goal for this year is an ambitious 100 books even, mostly because it will be easy for me to update the ticker because each book will be a percentage, LOL. I'm going to try to branch out and read more new stuff than old; I'd like for 3/4 of what I read to be new, ( Read more... )

Books I read in 2008

Okay guys, here's my tally for this year. I totally exceeded even year before last. I have no idea how I did it, as I was busy as hell this year. I guess I read a lot in the bathroom and in bed before I fell asleep, lol. Please feel free to weigh in with your comments or questions about anything I read this year, because I'd love to discuss books ( Read more... )
