This weekend was our scheduled lesson in birth control, otherwise known as taking care of a demonic 11 year-old. It’s obvious I’m turning into a crabby old lady in so many ways, mainly because of the 3,486 times I said or thought “Where are kids’ manners these days!?!”
Travis and I are novice car campers (meaning, [...]
(Full story to come at some point.)
8:00 - Wake up. Wanted to leave at 8. Oops.
9:15 - Run to REI real quick for stove fuel. REI not open.
9:23 - Hit the road for real.
10:14 - Stop at some podunk place to get fishing license and bait. Fishing license machine down. Got bait. And alcohol.
10:58 [...]
Crazy people - runners - insist that you get addicted to running. “Just try it,” they exclaim, “you’ll be surprised at how quickly it becomes an addiction.”
Pshaw! I say. Running is an addiction just like licking a 9-volt battery is. (In fact, some days I’d rather lick a 9-volt. Or even a car battery. Just [...]
Usually when I work out it’s in the morning and I pop on The View or The Price is Right. Sometimes, I’m stuck working out in the off-prime afternoon hours where the choice is limited to Judge Alex or Jude Joe Brown. (Yes, I just admitted to watching two of the crappiest shows on t.v.)
Because [...]
Last Thursday, a friend of mine hatched.
The very next day, Travis and I went to the hospital to view the teeny creature. I couldn’t quite wrap my head around the fact that she was one day old - but still twice as old as she was the day she was born. And by today? She’s [...]
This weekend, as Travis was doing laundry (yay, laundry bitch!) I heard a gurgling from the downstairs toilet. We rushed in to find… a mess. Shower backed up. Toilet backed up. And the drain in the utility room? Oh yeah, that was backed up too.
I immediately called my carpoo partner, who’s wife’s sister’s husband (aka: [...]
I’ve been on my running program for almost two weeks now (although I’m still on week 1 in the regimen, but that’s only because they tell you to go slow and I like to follow orders!) (Or it may be because I suck wind on week 1 and I’m scared about what week 2 will [...]
Because poker started late last night (and NOT because I won and had to stay until the very end, which was definitely not the case), I only got maybe six hours of sleep last night. And anything less than, oh, NINE, makes me very, very grumpy.
(Mothers everywhere are sobbing over my “only” six hours of [...]
I have been getting an INSANE amount of spam lately. (And it’s NOT to the email address I have listed here, so I know it’s not you people.) You name it, I can hook you up. Rolex offers, Viagra at an 82% discount, Coke or Pepsi surveys, Great Mortgage Rates, the list is endless.
So, obviously [...]
Although we’ve been married for over a year, we haven’t quite hammered down what to do with our checking accounts. Almost immediately after the wedding, we started a joint account. Half of our salaries went to the joint to pay for rent/utilities/groceries/etc. The other half went to our personal accounts, or play money. Which was [...]
