Zowie, It's Been Agesso as usual, it's been too long, just too long since my last posting and so much has changed. i've got a new job in the time since i last posted, but as the new gig has a blogging policy, i won't talk about work. the good news is that i do like the job and it's a universe apart from the hellmouth, so i can't complain.oh, let's face it. i could. but in this economy, it's not

So, I Was In Funkvillebut i'm back again. i will write about my awesome birthday weekend soon (the adorable one treated me to a fantastic and perfect weekend of fabulousness).for some reason on monday, i just felt out of sorts. maybe it was a let down from the weekend. but i was crabby, pissy, and just felt non talkative, non social, and just wanting to be left alone.thankfully, like a lingering

Ever Have One Of Those Dayswhere pretty much everything seems irritating? the boss you usually like gives you a hard time. all the people that congregate by your cube because the kitchen is right there decide to talk really loudly for a long time, which interferes with your work, which includes writing and talking on the phone to clients.i know there's the saying that some days you are the dog

It Must Be Something I've Donebecause let me say that for the last few nights, all i've had are bad dreams. a few nights ago, i dreamed i was back at the hellmouth, visiting some people. in the dream i thought that the head jerk was around, so i was hiding from him. that dream wasn't as bad as the one i had this morning.for some reason i was at an expensive restaurant and had to pay the bill for

I Can't Remember The Last Timegas cost $2.69/gallon, as that's what the price today when i filled up my car after work. the price was actually less than when i left for work this morning ($2.72). so instead of costing close to $30 for a half tank of gas, i got away with spending a little over $18.yay, i know it won't last much longer, but it's nice for a change not to feel completely robbed at

Note The Dateyesterday, due to a cold front that came through that included a drop in temps plus rain, i actually turned on the furnace. we always try to go as long as we can without having the furnace on, but as the low was gonna be in the 40s and the highs only in the 50s for today and tomorrow, i wimped out and flipped the switch last night.i only have it only set at 68 (usually in the winter,

What A Total Hootyesterday we were watching vh1's "top 20 videos", which is kind of a rarity for us, as usually they feature pretty sucky videos. but i must say katy perry's new single, "hot n cold" is a a fun song with a great hook. and the video is a total throwback to 80s videos. in fact, i liked the song enough to add it to my ipod.too bad the beginning of pink's new song, "so what", is so

It's Vapid, But Still Kinda Sadso last year i got into the "girl's next door" show on the e! network, which granted is a mindless, silly show. but very escapist, which is what i like.the toughest things those girls have to do is pick out what they are going to wear on a daily basis. rest of the time, they are living rent-free, in a mansion with staff, going on amazing trips, planning costume

It's True: I Am A Fat Piratei actually heard someone say at work the other day, as they surveyed the latest amount of food in our kitchen area, which hey by the way, is right by my cube, "i feel myself getting fatter." which would actually apply to me, as my skirts are tighter with good reason.i can say that in my 17 years of working that i have never worked at a place, including the restaurant

If Only There Was An Off Buttonfor things like bad dreams. last night, the adorable one got home around 12:30 a.m. from his trip to sparks, nevada, where he played golf and toured his jobsite. i had fallen asleep before he got home, but interestingly i woke up right before he made it to the house. was so awesome to see my man, as he had left on sunday, and even though it was only two days, it's

How Cool Is The Adorable One? so adorable that he found these awesome boots on amazon and thought of me. i still have to try a pair of similar boots at BassPro to see what size what works for me, but seriously at the decent price, i think these will be great for my bday . . . along with this little gem i found on craigslist. lucky for me, i am not paying full price. woohoo!

Another Weird Thingi've been having a lot of bad dreams lately. it's been going on for the past couple of weeks. can't say why as it's not like i'm watching horror movies or bad tv (unless you count "the hills"). the strange piece is that i can't remember any of the nightmares. i should be writing them down in some kind of dream journal, but by the time i get to work i can't even remember what

A Strange Phenomi love my bathroom. anyone that really knows me knows that. granted it was decorated in the 1950s, so the adorable one has dubbed it "barbie bathroom" due to a large amount of pink, but hey, it's perfect. i kinda consider it a sacred place because i'm the only one that ever uses it, unless we have guests over, like my parents who can pee like every ten minutes given the

Holy Cowso there's no better burger on the planet than the ones grilled by the adorable one. from the barefoot contessa, we learned to use ground beef with some fat (like 73% lean) and put a pat of butter in the middle, which makes for a very moist burger. of course, he seasons it with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.but if we had to eat a burger in cowtown no less, there's only one place we

I Think It's Kinda Weirdthat i haven't even talked about the bathroom at my new job. i mean, i'm a gal obsessed with bathrooms! and let's face it, the only one i really like and feel safe in is my own. anyways, the bathroom is alright--it took them a month to upgrade the thing with new tile or something, cuz it sure as heck wasn't the toilets, which for the four of them are all different models.

Two Really Great Books I'm Reading1) "the invention of hugo cabret" by brian selznick2) "the lightning thief" by rick riordanyes, these are considered "young adult", but they are sure as heck entertaining. and i got both from our neighborhood library.even more interesting is that when i was looking for a good link to use for the hugo cabret book, i came across this news item. let's just keep our

My Regression Knows No Boundsi was a teenager in the 1980s and quite the geek. i just loved cartoons like "thundercats", "transformers", "he-man", and my all-time favs, "g.i. joe" and "voltron." so just imagine my delight when i was flipping through the channels and found that the boomer cartoon channel is running the entire voltron series from the start.personally, i thought the leader keith

It's That Time Of Yearsometimes i think this time of year is harder than winter. which if you know me is a pretty severe and bizarre statement, as i hate winter. and when i say i hate winter, i loathe and detest it. i dread it every year. i get sad when the leaves start to turn and then fall off the trees. i can't stand it when the grass turns brown and goes dormant, although the adorable one is

Can't Complainone of the benefits of living in the midwest, and cowtown no less, is the fact that we can get away with eating a lot of comfort food. so unlike those health freaks in sunny california, we can indulge in fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans with chunks of ham hock, and cinnamon rolls for dessert.yay, it's a heart attack on a platter, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

Super Damn Coolmade even better when you're with the person you like best in the world and that person loves astronomy as much as you do. next time, we'll know exactly where to go for observation and if it's not zero degrees outside with a wicked north wind, hell yeah we'll bring the telescope.

Yay, It Was A Doozyso when i got home last night, the sky was clear. no joke, not a cloud in the sky. then the adorable one and i ran a couple of errands and by the time we finished grocery shopping, this is what we saw. once again, i can't take credit for the photo (one day people, one day!), but it explains why we had a dark and very stormy night with lotsa rain, hail (you can't imagine how

I Like Green Stuffthe beginning of the week was a total crapfest to the point where i felt like maybe i should start looking for a new job. yesterday, in particular, i left the office feeling like i had a thousand-pound gorilla on my shoulders after having a meeting where a ton of grunt work was poured on me like hot lava with an extremely short turnaround schedule. major ick.so it was quite nice

Back In I Gothe last couple of months have been a bit weird for me. i've chronicled some of the stuff in my blog. a lot more i discuss ad nauseam with the adorable one, who i imagine gets tired of it, but thankfully allows me to go on endlessly. i am forever grateful for him and for him allowing me to get all of my fears, paranoia, theories, gut instincts, etc. out. out of my chest. or my head.

Even If You Don't Like Football, Holy Cow You Should Be Watching The Best Show On TV. 'cept it's on wednesday nights, 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. (cst) on nbc, which i know goes up against tv's juggernaut, "american idol." when i tell you it's worth it, believe me. i love "ugly betty" and enjoy "studio 60" (yes, i know, it's canceled), but this is simply a supreme show. get on the bandwagon now.

A Self Portrait . . . But For How Long?so yes, i've been whining and complaining about getting nowhere in life of late. and that i feel like a turtle who is often afraid to stick her neck out. life seems easier tucked into my rock-solid shell. only the adorable one and maybe a few others know that i'm a giant mooshball on the inside. but a determined mooshball as i'm trying to take a more "the

I'm Spinning With Deelightso first off, this is not our ceiling fan, but i do like the design. anyhoosa, i'm a gal that grew up with ceiling fans and what i mean by that is that my parents installed them in our bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, office/study, etc. and we used them all the time--didn't matter the season, we usually had our fans on. yes, i know it sounds nutty, especially as we live
