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 [...]

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. He was smart, funny, a good conversationalist, smelled good and stood up quite well to a random friend test. My only complaint from the entire evening is he is clearly addicted [...]

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.

Something is in the Air

And it’s not good. I feel very unsettled today - I felt it yesterday too.  I don’t like it when I feel this way because usually it’s a signal that some kind of chaos, craziness or general bad stuff is going to rain down on me and/or people I know.   So it might be a foreshadowing of [...]

And the Award for Biggest Tool Goes To….

Yesterday was a bad day turned better for numerous reasons – began nuts but ended well with a Fat Boy party for Brigitte’s rescue baby Bruin who weighed 64 pounds when he came into rescue and now weighs 120 – what he should weigh.  After the party, Melody, Vanessa, Drew, Amberly and I ate at El [...]

Sweet Mother of Pearl I’m Happy the Colts Lost

And I’ll make sure to don my disguise before leaving the house or work today so as to not get mugged and beat up for having this sentiment.  The city has been upside down ever since they won the Superbowl last year. And there is of course the whole Lucas Oil Stadium debacle I won’t even go [...]

Daytime TV Observations

Daytime TV is somewhat of a novelty to me. I rarely, if ever, watch daytime TV. Mainly because I have a 9-5 job and if I am off work for some reason, I’m usually not sitting at home with nothing to do but watch TV. The holidays are the one exception – being off for 1-2 [...]

Miracle on 86th Street

I hate shopping at Macy’s for one specific reason: The Credit Card Hazing. The last couple of times I purchased items from Macy’s I was literally about ready to fly across the counter, grab the sales lady by her shirt and scream “For the LAST time, I don’t want your scam, hidden-costs crappy credit card!” [...]
