Whither, Weekend?!
Jiminy Christmas. This weekend was busy! Fun, sure, but busy as all get out. As lazy as I have been in recent months, it was a nice change to look back on everything I had accomplished, though. Check out this brief ( recap... ) -
Don't Touch the Queen!
"No matter how silly the idea of having a queen might be to us,

The Dog Is Smarter Than He Acts...
So, this morning I awoke to a cold, dark, drizzly day. I pulled the blanket off the pooch and he looked up at me as if to say "You have GOT to be kidding me."

*sigh*
I opened my snack drawer in my desk just now. NOTE: Yes, I have a drawer in my desk where my snack stash is stored. I rarely carry cash, so I buy snacks in bulk at the bookstore. In my last office, half my drawers were committed to long-term storage of old crap, so when I moved, I didn't have enough stuff to fill up my desk anyway.
There's nothing ( Read more... ) -
