Speed Racer

Since y’all seem to like posts about my car, I thought I’d feed the need… Can I just say? I heart Reggie. He rocks. We’ve gotten to know each other very well over the past two months–he puts up with my diverse music tastes and I put up with his need to go fast. It’s …

I Think I Missed My Calling

(WARNING: Most of these links have dirrrrty language) As some of you may have picked up on, we’ve had hip hop playing all week in the office and it’s completely overrun my life. I cannot get certain songs out of my head and my friends have been ever so helpful in keeping them there. This …

So What You’re Saying…

I’ve been floundering a bit since shifting blogs. Used to be I either wrote about Mexico or writing, but I’m no longer in Mexico and, frankly, I’m no longer writing. (Although I SWEAR I haven’t quit — I’m still trying to get my schedule under control.) My life in Michigan doesn’t have the same intrigue …

Online Persona

Last night I was lolling on the couch trying to think of what to write for today. I mentally ran through the list of things that’ve kept me busy lately, but decided against each for a variety of reasons. I’m not trying to tease–bear with me for a second–but it brings up a point several …

Garden Party

I’m going to a “garden party” after work today and it’s got me wondering about something. In this particular case, my aunt recently moved into a new home and in lieu of housewarming gifts has asked for items for her garden. Garden Party. But I know there are other references to a Garden Party and …

*click*

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it here before, but I have a near-photographic memory. Tell me something and odds are I’ll remember it. (Yes, this frustrates some people to no end.) Thing is, it’s not PERFECT so I don’t remember every little thing, it’s mainly the useless factoids I read online, hear on the …

The Little Green Light

*blink* The green light flashes. *blink* I try to concentrate on my conversation but the green light beckons. *blink* This has become my life. *blink* Who could it be? *blink* Is it an email or a text? *blink* Is it someone responding to something I said, or is it a brand spanking new email? *blink* …

In Which I Log My Complaint Against the US*

Dear United States of America, While I was living in Mexico, you wooed me back to your shores with promises of safety, prosperity, and never-ending Nutter Butters. While you’ve followed through on the safety and prosperity bit (and yes, the never-ending NBs), there are a few smaller promises that I don’t feel you’ve fulfilled. *Unceasing …

Fringe Benefits

Do you get an employee discount if you don’t plan ahead and accidentally wear a red top and khaki pants to Target? I caught myself before dressing, but I still managed to wear a pinkish-coral top and light brown pants. No one asked for help finding the shoe department, but no one offered to help …
