Used the public bathroom and it reminded me of a story. When I was 16, I played on the HS tennis team. OK, it only last six weeks, but for those six weeks, I ran the coach's kids around while the other girls were practicing their serves. I guess the coach could already tell I... Continue Reading →
Friday night at Target
Pretty pumped that there is a new batch of 1000-piece Charles Wysocki puzzles out in local Target stores. I felt bad buying two, until my husband reminded me he would be spending $40 on booze. So while you are all out at your wild and crazy Friday night parties, I'll be doing this: Riverside Family... Continue Reading →
one size fits all but me
Hate to beat a dead horse, but today at work they gave us company shirts for our upcoming career fair and mine didn't fit. It was too short - looked like a belly shirt. If you had to limit the world down to one person you would least like to see in a midriff-baring shirt,... Continue Reading →
muffin top
Ran eight miles on the treadmill last night while watching "the Biggest Loser." Woke up this morning and saw my poundage had dropped. Ate a chocolate chocolate chip muffin as a reward. Is it possible to both love and hate yourself?Because I loved every bite of that muffin this morning, but hate that my legs... Continue Reading →
pigs
Today I interviewed a girl who worked at Spencer Gifts. This reminded me of a forgotten (or is it repressed?) memory that I haven't thought about for ten years. It's one of those memories that I'm quite sure happened, but then did it really? Memories from over a month ago are so hazy it's hard... Continue Reading →
Celebrites have nothing on Us!
Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley are getting divorced (married 7/15/06). I am never surprised by these celebrity hook ups or break ups, but this one was different for me. They got married right before Steve and I did (as you can tell, I'm an "Us [not U.S., boys!] Weekly" Junkie). That's too bad, because I... Continue Reading →
Birthday cards and 800-Ask-Xerox
Are birthday cards over yet? Shouldn't there be a rule that these are only for ages 18 and under? I never know if I can stop giving them yet or if someone is going to be offended if they don't get one (of course it's happened! I've offended everyone I know at one point or... Continue Reading →
grammar school
So, college is worthless. Four years of English classes and when I tried to spell conniving today, it was so far off, even spell check didn't have any suggestions for me (kniving - which, yeah, now that I think about it, sounds like some sick suicide regimen). Luckily, my college roommate who knows much more... Continue Reading →
Lost and found
Found my debit card. It was between a bunch of career fair business cards in my purse. Sorry Hunter Parrish look alike. I'm glad I only glared at you and didn't scream and curse. Now I must wait 7-10 business days for a new card so I can spend money again. That's what I get... Continue Reading →
Starbucks, missing debit card, and a bee
A Saturday morning tradition of mine has been going to get Starbucks and a Winchell's donut (yeah, I know it's spelled "doughnut" but that spelling really bothers me for some reason. I think it's needlessly long for a food with a hole in it). In our new house, it takes an extra twenty minutes to... Continue Reading →
