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 →
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 →
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 →
wish list
I love buying stuff. But I have to be careful. My husband is a frugal accountant. I would love to go on a giant shopping spree once a season and buy whatever I wanted and then wait until the next season to buy again. Instead, I must buy something here and something there, little things... Continue Reading →
Street of dreams
I went to the street of dreams with my sister tonight. It's a Pelesky girls tradition. We've been ogling houses, furniture, and decorations we can't afford since the beginning of time. OK, twist my arm. I would take this kitchen. And because I'm feeling generous, I will take this bar for Steve for the basement,... Continue Reading →
a night without armor
I love poems. I love knowing the deepest part of a person that is exposed through their poetry. I do not discriminate. I like all poets. Famous or not. You will laugh when you hear who one of my favorite poets is. Think of a pretty blond with crooked teeth. No, not the vampire from... Continue Reading →
