Always good from Maya Angelou

Posted Tuesday, July 31, 2007 3:18 PM

No matter how many times you have seen this, read it and think on it again today... it is timeless.. A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE . enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to... A WOMAN SHOULD

The Great Soy Sauce Disaster of 07

Posted Friday, July 27, 2007 10:09 PM

So I come home, arms loaded with dinner and a liquor store run and the dog, fresh from day care; and all I want is a glass of icy white wine... Being the Klassy gal I am, I head for the "cask" (re:box) of Fish Eye in the fridge... I open the fridge, and

Posted Friday, July 27, 2007 5:37 PM

Flame if you want ladies, but I miss my Mormon already... My co-worker, friend, and fellow Jesus-loving conservative is returning to AZ for her hubby's last year of law school... (mentioned why in previous blogs, but whatev...) Today was her last day

Posted Tuesday, July 24, 2007 10:52 AM

Sis-sy's back, tell a friend.... YAY!! My twin sis is back on American soil from the Land Down Under... The whole egg is at least back in one country again.... I was so excited when I was walking into work this morning and my cell started playing "Doctor!Doctor!"...

Having a moment...

Posted Friday, July 20, 2007 1:32 PM

... Actually I think I have been "having a moment" all week... A.F. blew into town with a lot more fury than normal, leaving me wiped out, crampy and cranky... Following on the crimson tide, a wave of unsatisfied self-doubt, disgust at my current career

Things I love...

Posted Thursday, July 19, 2007 4:55 PM

Ahh, Town and Country, how I love thee... This one is only an add, and yet I am in love... those huge windows with the drapes, the big round ottoman dividing the two spaces in the room, that blue lamp in the corner with the understatedly proportioned

Mediocre Jack of all trades...

Posted Wednesday, July 18, 2007 8:06 PM

I have come to the realization that I am a kind of mediocre jack-of-all-trades.... It started with my many careers in my 20s.. I went from College Student studying Poli-Sci, to Culinary Student, to Restaurant Manager, to Make up artist, to Baker, to Floral

We got the funk....

Posted Tuesday, July 17, 2007 10:40 AM

Ugh... I feel awful... tummy trouble abounds, some invisible force is squeezing the old bean until I feel like my eyes might pop right out of my noggin... I speculated yesterday that it might just be an extra-pronounced version of A.F.'s monthly arrival,

DH and Coffeemaker both malfunction

Posted Friday, July 13, 2007 10:44 AM

So I get up this morning to find a puddle of coffee all over our counter... clearly I wasn't paying enough attention while loading the coffee and setting the auto-brew last night.. I soak and I wipe and I squeegee, and get it all cleaned up, check to

G'Day Sissy....

Posted Wednesday, July 11, 2007 11:05 AM

So as some of you know, my twin sis, the other half of my egg, has taken BIL and made for Australia - leaving me here to fend for myself on this stupid continent... (OK, OK, that is an overstatement, but still..) For both of us, our first plane trip was

Seriously - get away from me....

Posted Monday, July 09, 2007 10:44 AM

So I am at Einsteins today, grabbing a box of bagels in honor of my two teammates' return from vacay... and everything is a-ok until this girl in running gear and her little friend get in line behind me... first of all, she is a crowder, which I hate...

What is that noise?

Posted Sunday, July 08, 2007 6:39 PM

Oh, it is the sound of silence... as in, "the in-laws are gone, amen" silence... Ahhhhhhhhhh..... DH is off at the all star game festivities, playing tour-guide for a bunch of Japanese big wigs from Sharp Japan and commanding the minions running the Sharp

One last hurrah...

Posted Thursday, July 05, 2007 1:16 PM

So BIL's horrifying behavor came to a head in one last spectacular display of craptacularly piss-poor manners that began on Tuesday evening when I got home from work.... Somehow he uttered the N-word durring a story while we were out on the patio right

Whoa sloppy...

Posted Monday, July 02, 2007 4:43 PM

I emerged from the bedroom this morning, freshly showered and tip-toeing so-as-not-to wake our snoozing houseguests (or DH for that matter) and I stopped dead in my tracks when I hit the living room... cushions and pillows from the couches on the floor,

I surrender

Posted Sunday, July 01, 2007 10:57 AM

When DH's fam is in town, it seems to lower the level of manners and decent behavior to that of say, a 9 year old... Him and BIL act like spazs together when things are "good" which isn't often since someone always seems to be pouting.. And I don't need
