I’ve been trying to write the year in review since last week, right before Christmas. I went through every single month, in my head and on this blog, and tried to find the highlight of each month. I really, really tried to slog through all the negativity and bitterness of this past year to come [...]
To my beloved siblings:
Always remember that I paved the way for your exploits. Always remember that I endured bitter silent treatments, horrible yelling, and accusations of less-than-virtuous behavior for your freedoms. Always remember that if it weren’t for my determination to claim responsiblity for the consequences of my actions, you’d be stuck at home, afraid [...]
Another day, another run. I’ve always known I was much more of a winter runner than a summer runner–why’d it take me so long to get my rear in gear?
Anyway, while running today, I passed the driveway of a high school classmate. I’m sure she’s had better luck than I, and has managed [...]
Merry Christmas to all. I hope everyone’s enjoying their holiday season; even though I’ve pretty much been a Grinch since Thanksgiving, I have to admit that I’m having a nice time. Last night, we had tamales for dinner, along with the whiskey sours I whipped up to enjoy. This morning, for breakfast, I made pancakes [...]
Well, more like running in a slushy wonderland, but “winter wonderland” is my story and I’m sticking to it.
Anyway, Jon over at Chocolate Runner’s Blog had an excellent post a few days back regarding focus and losing said focus. It pretty much echoed the malaise I’d been feeling since I ran my half-marathon; while [...]
So, to make a long story short, the customer service at Amazon leaves a lot to be desired, and UPS has a tendency to deliver gifts 14 miles from the intended destination. I’ve had the order sent once more, free of charge, to me, and will take it to my boyfriend myself when I [...]
The word from on high is that there will be no Christmas bonus. But they have enough money to spend on the UPS guy.
Sure, the UPS guy only got a loaf of bread, but at they got him something. Springing for chicken and then making us bring in potluck crap? Doesn’t seem [...]
As the week draws to a close (well, at least my week does), I’m feeling hopeful, anxious, sleepy, full of energy, and last but not least, kind of nauseated. I feel like I’m treading on eggshells, hoping not to jinx myself, then letting myself know that there’s no such thing as jinxing myself–I can [...]
I’m trying–valiantly, I might add–to actually do some work. However, my plan is very simple: I’m trying to not care. I did get assigned another one of lazy co-worker’s assignments (the ass is still on vacation), but I’m not worried about getting it done this week. But I have to admit that [...]
I have now come up with a domain name, but haven’t purchased space just yet–my brother is set to recommend a good host, but for now, I have the name set. I also have a few WordPress templates that I’m considering. All in all, I should be transitioning the week between Christmas and the New [...]
