Lately, Wednesdays have just, to borrow a phrase the husband seems recently enamored with: ‘sucked out loud.’ Last Wed I came home from work to discover that my just turned 2 year old fridge had turned into an easybake oven. Then, later that evening at sand v-ball my team started strong each of the 3…
So I’m sending my boy toy packing and stickin’ with my 2nd Sony e-reader of the summer: Miss Scarlett. Aside from that gawdawful cover of hers, she’s a sexy little tart, and we’ve already had quite some fun. The problem is, Miss Scarlett is like that gossipy girlfriend: y’know the type: the one you spend…
This morning Lil’ G wakes up with a particularly nasty diaper. So I clean her up, change her, and get her dressed for the day. No biggie. By the time I finish getting ready for the day, Lil’ G managed to produce another craptastic diaper…soaking through her clothes. Argh! Really? Insert giant sigh here and…
It’s been smooth sailing and sweet sweet reading bliss since the moment my test drive with the Sony PRS-505 e-reader began nearly a month ago. Until today. Today, I am a sad Panda. Like I have done many times in the past few weeks, I lace up my Nikes, strap Lil’ G into the jogging…
Yesterday I had to do something I really detest. Something I try to avoid at all costs. Yesterday I made a return at Wal-Mart. Why…why is there always the line of doom stretching towards infinity at Wal-Mart service desks? So there I am, Lil’ G in the cart making faces at the old man behind…
I’m having a bad e-day. Like a bad hair day but with all things electrical. 1. My main computer has been wigging out for about a week…the husband will fix it eventually, after all he’s a computer dude – that’s his thing – but that’s also the problem: he’s a computer dude, that’s his thing,…
Oh yeah, springtime in the Midwest. It is the embodiment of that saying, “It ain’t over til it’s over.” Cuz winter? It ain’t over yet. The calendar may show that the season of spring started just over a week ago… And local schools may be starting their spring break vacation tomorrow… But spring has decided…
They both irritate the hell out of me. A year or two ago we were faced with a frustrating and expensive experience with the IRS due to incompetence and general asshattery on the part of someone(S) shabby work. An experience which led me to play the acronym game, as seen here. As I mentioned recently,…
Today, as I was driving down the road with a screaming 6 week old in the backseat, the variety of “issues” I am dealing with of late suddenly materialized in a vision of phonebooks…and I began to see all the things causing me stress as big, heavy, useless phonebooks. And if you think about it,…
Let’s face it – it’s hard to deny that Ikea has some funky-cool sh*t for your house at decent prices…but damn, that store is a b*tch! LOVE: Cheap glassware, cool poster frames, awesome bookcases & storage solutions, unique kid’s furniture, great bathroom & kitchen gadgets. HATE: Driving there. Parking there. Attempting to maneuver a cart…
