The Art of Being Nice
I won't claim to be a nice person. Well, sometimes I am, but other times I let my Inner Brat assert herself and am not nice. It's not usually the obvious kind of nice so much as the subversive, undermining, turning-off-the-filter-on-my-mouth kind of brattiness ( Read more... ) -
It's Flu Season!
If you have the flu, stay the fuck home.
I do not love it when my fucking boss, who has been sick SINCE MONDAY, has been coming into the office daily even though she looks -- and feels! -- like death. And coughing. And sneezing. And refusing to take anything to alleviate her symptoms. And spreading her fucking germs everywhere. And being forced to ( Read more... ) -
Damn You, Border's!!
Hubby asked for the complete seven-season series of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as his Christmas gift. I looked around and it was a little too pricey, so I told him that I wouldn't be able to do that, but would get one of the other items on his list.

It works out well, because Stinky is with her grandmother daily, and we don't have to worry about late fees if we are a few minutes late picking her up in the afternoon. It's usually an all-around good situation, but we did have to lay down some ground ( Read more... ) -
Looking for an Arch-Nemesis?
Craig's List has your back!
I've been trying to think of ways to spice up my life. I'm 32 years old, and I have a good job in telecommunications. But somethings missing. I feel like I'm old before my time. I need to inject some excitement into my daily routine through my arm before its too late. I need a challenge, something to get the adrenaline ( Read more... ) -
The Adventures of Spanky and Pumpkin
Well, for future note: traveling internationally by yourself with a young baby is only a good idea if things run smoothly.
I carefully planned the flights we would be taking to and from Trinidad. On the way there: a 6 AM departure to Miami, 90 minute layover, 2 PM arrival in Trinidad. On the way back: 2:50 PM departure to Miami, 90 minute layover ( ( Read more... ) -
What's the use?
I sent out an invitation to family to join us to "celebrate" as we scare the devil out of the former parasite. I was nagged about christening her, so before I have to take someone out, it's going to be done in a couple of weeks ( Read more... ) -
