*My* Mother’s Day

This was sent to me by a good friend who also has doggies and kitties. Yes I’ve not conceived and born human children into this world, nor am I raising future politicians or doctors or writers. And people that don’t know me well (or at all) have judged me for that – and looked on me [...]

My Dog Ate My Seatbelt

It finally happened. After however many months of driving around sans seatbelt, I got pulled over on Saturday. I don’t not wear my seatbelt to be cool or out of laziness. My dog ate it. Bella more specifically ate it. Seriously. That is no joke. It no longer works.  I’m also not one of these [...]

Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Curse Words and My Ongoing Affair with Javier

I am STILL working on a blog post about how much fun we had in Florida last week. It requires thought and an uninterrupted block of time – both things I am running low on at the moment. So instead I’ll give you 2 bits of information – one a gripe and one a movie [...]

It’s Rough Out There People

Well folks I put myself squarely back into the world of dating this past Saturday.  Up until now I’ve merely dabbled.  I thought the date went well.

Fun-Haters Beware!

One has to wonder in this day and age what with the availability of camera phones and public blogs why anyone would act openly like an a$$hole in public. Who could forget the drunk and passed out girl at the Cubs game with mysterious liquid on her pants? Incidentally, that photo is my most frequently-viewed [...]

Be Afraid…Be Very, Very Afraid

I am my mom’s tech support for her computer. She uses her computer primarily to play games (offline) and email. She has dial-up. There are few if any issues. As of late though, she has been having email issues where the dial-up times out before all the huge email messages can be downloaded into the Outlook Express [...]

LinkedIn Faux Pas and Straightjackets

I think from now on I’m going to combine all sorts of incongruent topics into one blog post. For no good reason. Anyway, I am on about 3-4 social networking sites. I like LinkedIn the most probably because it’s 100% professional. It’s purpose is to not share photos of you and all your friends getting trashed over the [...]
