(Or, the post in which I sound like the spoiler of all fun.)
I hate Halloween. Detest it.
Ok, maybe that language is too strong. I like the candy. And cookies. And Pumpkin Bread. And the little kids can sometimes be cute. (Notice I said “little kids” and not “Big kids who come to your door and [...]
An older woman who works nearby walked past my desk. Her cellphone started ringing. Loudly. She didn’t bother to answer it with any urgency. Her ringtone: the annoying I’m Coming Out (So You Better Get This Party Started) (or whatever it’s called) by Pink. And even more annoying? It’s now completely stuck in my head [...]
Three times in the last week we’ve had snowfall of more than five inches. Each time it has melted within a day. But, still. Snow. October. White Christmasses are fine, but who really wants a white Halloween?
Every odd weather phenomona we have I blame on global warming. Even if it’s cold. Because three snows? By [...]
Me: (shuffling through songs) OH! I just got this CD.
Carpoo Partner: (listening) Is it Led Zepplin?
Me: No, they’re called Wolfmother.
(Silence. Listening.)
CP: Is this Kiss?
Me: I JUST TOLD YOU IT WAS WOLFMOTHER.
CP: I know, but I don’t like that name.
Fast forward a few minutes. “Oh, Me” by Nirvana comes on.
Me: OHHH, depressing music. I bet you [...]
I meant to bring you a housewarming gift this weekend. But something happened to it.
To welcome you to the ‘hood, I thought I’d bake you a nice fresh loaf of pumpkin bread. Because nothing says “happy house” like three pounds of carbs.
And then this weekend happened. And I was kind of a bum. And I [...]
It’s no secret that Travis and I are reality t.v. junkies. We’ve watched Survivor since day one, got hooked on The Amazing Race not long after, and watch almost anything on MTV, including awful shows which are so staged that I’m not even sure they can technically be called reality. (Like the shows where the [...]
This time of year (and any time of the year, really) makes me so. happy. that I left my former job. Instead of working ALL weekend, I’m working FOR the weekend. AHHHH.
I worked there for about a year and a half, but it aged me much more than that. Twelve hour days were fairly standard. [...]
A woman you don’t know very well at work asks you to go to lunch. You think, hell, I could be more social and that frozen dinner in the freezer can wait til tomorrow. So you ask what the plans are, she says Applebees, and you immediately “remember” that you had other plans that you [...]
I’m sick today.
Er, I was.
I’m kinda better now.
Really.
I woke up this morning: sore throat, stuffy nose, headache. I thought sleeping in would cure it. After 45 minutes of snoozing, I decided “Nope, not guna-do-it” and called in sick. I slept for two more hours. Felt a little better. Got up, finished a book, felt a [...]
Every once in awhile, we get these crazy hairs to move. I grew up in Iowa and lived my first 22 years in the same house, but since then I’ve moved within the Denver area eight times in as many years. Travis has lived in lots of fancy places: San Diego, San Francisco, Dallas, Albuqerque. [...]
