Skinny Dress

It’s Friday!  Liberation Day!  El Dia de Liberacion!  What am I going to do tonight to enjoy my freedom? 
Probably absolutely nothing.  I’m fascinating like that.  Anyway, given that the weather is still not cooperating (it’s cool and cloudy), I’m having a hard time dragging myself out of the winter shell.  I suppose I’m going [...]

Go Team!

I had a dream last night in which I was forced to play for the Michigan football team.  I’ve already mentioned once this past week how much I dislike Athletics, so having a dream about how I was now a member of the team was scary, to say the least.  Some guy (who looked and [...]

Lessons for Wednesday, April 27

*Good things come to those who wait.  And if you don’t wait, you end up missing out on a savings of $10.  If I’d only waited four more days, damnit!
*Low carb yellow cakes are very hard to make.  They also look pretty unsavory.  I guess I won’t be the judge of that, though.  However, if [...]

“Ya no mi-, ya no mi-, ya no mire mas las piernas, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no estoy loca.”*

Honestly?  I don’t know what to say today.  I’m so distracted by my assignment (this is the kind I get through in one day, so I tend to be one concentrated demon on these day) that I can’t think of anything to write about briefly.  I do have a couple of things I want to [...]

Tighten the Noose, Don’t Add Money

Er, ack!  I was just assigned yet another series on which to work.  It wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t already have three other series on my plate.  Three other series that last two to three hours each.  And this was supposed be my boss’ series, too.  That ticks me off – he does [...]

Random Saturday

I am sitting here, checking the server’s proofing list to see who gets to check my report on Monday morning.  The report is done – I just wrote and finished it over the course of today.  Why?  I have no idea.  I got up (bright-eyed and bushy-tailed – sangria has nothing on me, I tells [...]

Changeable Michigan

*sob*
It’s supposed to rain on and off all day.  And it’s cold.  And it’s supposed to snow tonight into tomorrow.
I hate you, Michigan.  This was my Dominick’s night, damnit!

I Hate It When People Get in the Way of Good Governance!

My sincere thanks to the members of the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners who thought it prudent to vote for our community’s cause last night at the Ways and Means meeting.  My thanks go particularly to Conan Smith and Ronnie Peterson, who saw and articulated the ridiculousness that the Washtenaw County Road Commission wants to [...]

How Do You Speak American English, Eh?

Heh.  No shit.  So I speak 10% Dixie?  I’d like to graciously protest that I DO NOT!  I had no idea I was such a Yankee, either, though that just might be recent influence.   If I had taken this about four years ago, I’m relatively sure I’d be 90% General American English.  When asked if [...]
