Well, my heart must have healed faster than expected, becaue I am in love yet again. This morning I shared 20 glorious minutes with the new love in my life: a big st. bernard mix. This dog was like one of those cheechy japanese cartoon characters, except it was a real dog with those enormous eyes and too-cute expression. Love, love, love! And ( Read more... )

Okay, gotta stop eating this pound cake. I mean, I had all this sour cream left over, so naturally I'd make a pound cake versus throwing this stuff away. Sometimes I just let food I think is bad sit in the fridge while I think through how bad it could be. The food rarely becomes more tempting after this official waiting period. But if my ( Read more... )

I just finished cooking up some black eyed pea chowder...I was to lazy to make it yesterday and you're supposed to let the stuff sit one day...and have entered the new year by eating one black eyed pea. Let the good luck begin! A very cold and windy day, and while I had one of the most miserable runs ever, I was treated to horizontal snow and ( Read more... )

Okay, the saga ends here. I got the final note from a now official "ex" (uuuugh) saying that he didn't make a stupid mistake, that he really didn't actually have feelings for this here girlie. Ugh, it sucks so much! I wrote back that I always had a feeling he was gay, and now I know for sure. Sometimes my tongue in cheek doesn't translate on ( Read more... )

You people are nice to me. Thanks. I feel better today, but I'm coming from a very low place, so I'm not super or even good. Saturday I just felt restless and exhausted all at once, and the rainy gray weather did nothing for my listless mood. I went for a long walk, disregarding the drizzle, and THAT was a bad idea 'cause it was so gray. The ( Read more... )

NOOOOOOOO! That's all I could hear my inner voice saying after last night's call. No no no no no! Todd ended it. He just called, started sighing and stuttering, and I knew what he was doing. I obviously have never been heartbroken before this...I am devestated, scared, and nauseous...sometimes it's okay, but another wave will come along when ( Read more... )

If the former Turkish ambassador to Iran's son gave you his phone number, would you call? The people you meet in this world...

Happy Post Thanksgiving! (Yes, that's the one sponsered by cereal). I got to celebrate dia de gobble not only in Arkansas, but with our dear friend Beck, and just enough family members to make it a happy break indeed. (The annoying members were no-shows...see you Christmas!) Aw Beck, so nice seeing you again...I hope I wasn't too boy crazy the ( Read more... )

Welcome back, friends. So, my first week of training is complete, along with the first test (management bases any promotions on our test results...cripes!). Scores were fine, though Toby got a better grade which means I have to listen to his inflated egoism all the more. He's nice and fun to joke around with, but he doesn't have a whole lot of ( Read more... )

I'm with the Jews nowadays...Saturday is my day of rest. So is Sunday. As well as federal holidays (all for the Lord, of course). So my fellow trainees shouldn't give me lip when I don't volunteer for overtime hours on Saturdays. I asked my supervisor if she depends on us working overtime and she tells me "no, no...in fact, sometimes I don't ( Read more... )
