We interrupt your feel good, sparkly holiday decorations and sentimental posts for this message: Sometimes, we just gotta bitch! I know, you knew this already since I've posted the complaint box & spewed many an invective before. We already know I'm not all about farting rainbows and unicorns despite my blog title. Sometimes you just... Continue Reading →
Has anyone seen my Christmas spirit?
I've determined (ok, perhaps my body determined) that I can no longer deny the existence of the cold that has been trying to take hold since last week. I am now officially snuffly & coughy & generally cloudy headed & feeling icky and I will most likely whine about these things for a few days... Continue Reading →
File this under: Things Are Not Always What They Seem
About this time last week I was highly annoyed at three people who had not responded to emails. Case #1 - I had stuck my neck out to ask someone who owes me money to, you know, acknowledge that fact and get going paying me back. 72 hours had passed and...*crickets* Case #2 - I... Continue Reading →
Summer..vacation? Not hardly!
Most people's summer vacations look like this: Mine look more like this: Boy does my cat have it right! In the last week we have: Set the alarm on both Sat and Sun mornings last weekend for 4:30am so that The Boy could be on the beach at 5:30am with his scuba gear to complete... Continue Reading →
I refuse!
I REFUSE to let the good spirits I am in from a great, productive, fun weekend of cleaning & running & socializing & organizing & writing waste away into Monday! (heck the Padres even swept a weekend series!) I REFUSE to let the news that Sports Boy's weekend diving certification courses start at 6am instead of 7am... Continue Reading →
One of THOSE days
Yesterday was just one of those days: Woke up at 6am feeling like I had not slept. Promptly fell back asleep until 7am. No problem. I had showered the night before. I just wanted cereal for breakfast anyway. Trip over a cat on the way to the bathroom. Grrrrr.... Start to put together my vitamin... Continue Reading →
Too many “I need to remembers”
It started as soon as I got back home from my run: "I need to remember to water the plants & fill the bird feeder" I didn't want to do that at that moment since I needed to shower and eat some breakfast because I was famished. So I tucked that into a corner of... Continue Reading →
It’s a good busy!
It is so damn odd to have Sports Boy here during the month of July! I have felt so disoriented. Every summer for the past five (six? seven?) years he has hopped on a plane to Sweden pretty much within a week of school ending. Sometimes the very next morning. He would return the last...

You know you are a geek who grew up in the 70s when…..
Evidence of the supreme sports geek that I may have been as a child circa 1976-1980: But hey - I didn't just spend my time making baseball scrapbooks! Oh no, not his crazy gal! C'mon! It was the late 70s! I was 11-15 years old. You know what ELSE I did?
Of checklists, shopping, dust bunnies, phantom kids & wardrobe malfunctions.
Started the weekend off with great intentions to do at least one more closet clean up in preparation for the someday upcoming garage sale I want to have, and also to read the next book in my pile which I have been carrying around for about two solid weeks now without cracking open. For some... Continue Reading →
