When Real Panic Sets In

So, I bet you’re wondering what could possibly wear my fragile psyche down more than the combination of loads of work, Captain Anxiety acting out in his crate, cats vomiting all over expensive couches, a persistent and irritating cough that won’t let me sleep, and relative isolation despite living in one of the world’s most [...]

The Fundraising Season

It’s been a month since schools have been back in session and it’s just about time to rev the gears of a new fundraising season.
Fundraising seems to have changed a lot since I was a kid (what hasn’t though?). I was born in a (fairly) major city and up until age 8, I was enrolled [...]

In place of today’s regularly scheduled programming…

I am bored, without work, emailed everyone I can think of, created TWO LOL Cats out of Payton, and am drawing a blank on a good post for today. Those are my answers and I’m sticking to ‘em.
Without even realizing how I got there, I found this on Spinning Girl’s blog. And I’m glad [...]

Avoidance is my key strategy

I am avoiding work like it’s the plague. See, the thing is, even though I essentially work part-time and I can say no to projects, in reality I’m on-call 24 hours a day and some silly person out there thinks that “no” means “yes.” Such as “No, I don’t want to do this project… it’s [...]

Yah Hi, I’d like a double mocha latte with skim milk steamed to precisely 178 degrees please.

Remote blogging in a café, what could be better? Remote blogging in a café that offers free Wi-Fi I suppose, but beggars can’t be choosers. Yes that means I’m out of the house. On a school day. Without the pooch. And I look pretty cute to boot, too bad that the only other people around [...]

Some days you just can’t get started

Dear People of the Internet:
I know. I have not been attentive. But I have many good excuses. Mainly that I’ve been sick and that hardly puts anyone in a funny enough mood to write about much of anything. Secondly, I’ve been crushed with millions and millions of horrible PowerPoint files; all of them ugly and [...]

Halo 3

Am I the only one that’s creeped out by video games these days? I mean, I know I’m a big pussy and all, and admittedly when I was young Atari games used to scare me (the whole concept of my character dying was new and awful to me). But, crap, I just saw a commercial [...]

Of Ponies and Posting

Ever since I learned how to talk, I’ve been bugging my family to get me a pony for my birthday. “Oh, ha ha ha ha! No.” they used to say. I mean, why would I need a horse when I lived on a farm? ON A FARM. With barns and hay and many acres meant [...]

Temptation, Thy Name Is Rockgrrrl

Is there anything better in the world than a friend who gets you? The kind of friend where you’re having a bad day, a bad week, or a bad month and suddenly they come out of the blue and do something completely awesome to make you feel warm and fuzzy and chocolaty all over? Seriously? [...]

Why I Should Be Moved From Being Labeled Insane To Being Labeled Clinically Insane

Yah, hi. It’s me, the batty-assed emotional wreck of a woman. So, you all should know I’m having some issues. Well, probably many issues but right now I just want to talk about some of them. Now mind you, they’re not serious but I am nothing if not neurotic so they seem like giant brain-eating [...]
