Huge sigh of relief.

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 22:00:00 -0600

I am so glad the election is finally over, I was so worked up over it. As I've stated before, I'm a bleeding-heart liberal. Always have been, probably always will be. That being said, Sarah Palin scared the shit ...

Job Search: Complete!

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:45:00 -0500

I got the job. But, not without more hoop-jumping. This better be one of the best freakin’ jobs I’ve ever had. I didn’t expect the background check to go completely smoothly, but it&r...

Job Search

Sat, 02 Aug 2008 10:20:00 -0500

I’m hesitant to write this entry because I do so believe in jinx. I’ve been extended a job offer. I haven’t been very vocal about my job hunt up to this point. Again – the jinx thi...

So much is going on right now, I haven't had time to post. Sister is home from her trip to Italy and beyond. She seems to have had fun, I have been spared the pictures so far. Pink is gone - probably for the summer.&n...

Fences, Fences, Everywhere

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:00:00 -0500

Why does it seem that the same people who want to build a fence to keep Mexico on their own turf are the same people who take Funjet vacations to Cancun and Ixtapa? This just came to mind: They go to Mexico on vac...

Bad Word?

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:35:00 -0500

Mexican is not a pejorative term. I just want to get that out there. I'm getting really sick of people saying Mexican as if they're spitting it from their mouths. Some people shy away from saying Mexican a...

The Kurgan = The Krabsman

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:50:00 -0500

Clancy Brown, famous for his portrayal as The Kurgan in 1986’s Highlander, is the very same man who voices Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants!! Apparently Mr. Brown, when not playing scary men on film, does a...

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Sorta – the boy the doctor thought he saw during the sonogram. Mom just girlied up the name and gave it to me anyway. 2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Earlier, reading a blog. ...

Geddy Lee

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 21:25:00 -0500

So, I was impressed to read that Geddy Lee of Rush donated over 200 autographed baseballs to the Negro League Baseball Museum. What an incredibly cool thing to do. Never been a big fan of his music. You can catch...

My Liberal Blood Is Boiling...

Wed, 28 May 2008 18:00:00 -0500

On The View* today they were discussing Rachael Ray's Dunkin' Donuts commercial. Apparently the commercial was pulled because some right-wing moron named Michelle Malkin decided that the scarf Rachael was wearing looked...

Pet Peeve #2

Wed, 28 May 2008 08:05:00 -0500

This is an easy one. The stupid BUILD YOUR OWN SCION ad at the top of Ink's website. It opens, it closes, it moves the page when I'm trying to copy/paste, it moves it when I'm reading something. Enough already!! Get a ...

Things I Love #2

Mon, 19 May 2008 11:00:00 -0500

This American Life - on Showtime If you're a fan of TAL on NPR, or even Sunday Morning on CBS, I believe you will love This American Life on Showtime. It's 30 minutes long, presented in 1 to 3 Acts, and each show has a...

Change of careers

Wed, 14 May 2008 07:45:00 -0500

So - it looks like I need to change careers. This is not the first time it's happened in my life. It's just been easier in the past. I was in my last position for 8yrs 8mos when I was laid off. I don't think I've...

Pet Peeve #1

Fri, 09 May 2008 17:55:00 -0500

I'm so bored I'm listing my pet peeves. In no particular order, except how they come to mind. The statement 'dyed her hair blonde'. Unless your hair is white, you cannot dye it blonde. You bleach it blonde....

Happy Truman Day!!

Thu, 08 May 2008 19:30:00 -0500

Uh....yeah. I think this is the only state I've ever lived in that had it's own holiday. Of course today was the day I needed to deal with all sorts of stately guvment biz. Seriously, two different agencies. ...

Freecycle

Tue, 06 May 2008 20:55:00 -0500

Does everyone know about Freecycle? If you don't, you should. It's a lot like the Free section of Craigslist, only better. Go to Freecycle.org to learn all about it....

Baby Mama and Sixlets

Sun, 04 May 2008 09:35:00 -0500

So Silver and I went to see Baby Mama today. It was an enjoyable film. I was a bit disappointed though, I wanted - and was half expecting - it to be a laugh riot. I'd say go see it in the theater to support ...

Polygamy My Ass...

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:55:00 -0500

This whole polygamy thing that's currently on the news leaves me with many thoughts and feelings. The main feeling I'm walking away with is that the talking heads, and those who write the stories behind the scenes, are...

Mommy Doesn't Look Like Me (???)

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:40:00 -0500

So I first heard about this on The View -- yeah, I'm unemployed, I'm married, so I'm a "housewife" and occasionally I watch The View -- some Cosmetic Surgeon wrote a book to help parents (read:moms) teach their kids abou...

Smithville is having city-wide yard/garage/rummage sales on Saturday the 26th. If you're going to be up around the lake area, come buy some of my crap! So, I've spent the better part of the day going thru all of the bo...

I keep getting older, but not much smarter

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:50:00 -0500

So I went to a party on Saturday night. My bff in the KC area, Silver, just moved to Lee's Summit with her boyfriend, Scratchy. These are not their real names. It was a good party, lots of people, no drama. I drank too...

Are you kidding??

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 11:20:00 -0500

Ok, admittedly, for the past 7+ years I've telecommuted to my job (before I was laid off in November...), so I have no physical commute (except from the bed to the computer chair). I don't know how you people do it. T...

Today is step-daughter's birthday, we shall call her Pink. Pink is 15 today, I came into her life 10yrs ago. I don't have any children of my own, it's never worked out for me biologically-speaking. Happy Birthday...

Just Tuesday

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:20:00 -0500

I'm just getting used to this site - how to navigate, what it has to offer - so if you've left me a note and I don't get back to you, it's probably because I don't know how yet. Is it me, or does it seem like Spring is takin...

Send some Karma my way...

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 02:10:00 -0500

Is it wrong for an Atheist to believe in Karma? I don't know…can't know. Can an Athiest believe in Jinx? Because I do. Truth be told, I probably wouldn't be an Atheist if we, as a society, weren't so...
