Queen of Rambles

To prove I’m just as obsessive about books as my darling husband, I saved my last two reading lists as html files just so I could share them. Ha! He hasn’t done that yet and even if he does, how can he upload them? I won’t let him use FFF or QoR! Mwhahahaha! […]

I’ve been offered the position and I said yes. I’ll be gainfully employed starting Monday at 7:45. Scary! Sounds like I’ll be working mainly with first and second graders, which isn’t exactly my age group of choice. It’s going to be fun, though, right? RIGHT????
So much for being a kept […]

I’ve been sitting here all morning agonizing over a little pro/con list I made.
Here’s the problem: If I am offered the job I interviewed for should I take it? I called TSPC and the paper I have is good enough for them. I would just need to mail it and a check and […]

I’ve decided I’m a modern day Cinderella. My dad expects me to run him around on all sorts of errands. My mom expects me to send out tons of resumes for her. They both expect me to cook. I have to clean to keep on top of this animal infested pit of […]

And because several people have asked. . . .
I make lots of different kinds of cookies. Lately I’ve been making pudding cookies and they are yum, yum, yummy. They are basically just like chocolate chip cookies.

I’ve got an interview tomorrow at 9:30 in the morning. I suppose this means I’m going to have to go buy some nylons and a pair of dress shoes. But here’s the quandary: I was talking to one of my teacher friends yesterday and she said the current sub rate is $130/day. […]

I know there are several very talent writers reading this so I want to make sure you know what’s going on with Mosaic Minds.
We’ve got our themes set through October, so if you want to submit something you can do it any time. We need things the 15th of the prior month, so for […]

How is it that I never had a problem driving around in Sweden, yet there’s three inches of snow on the ground here and I am sliding all over the road? I guess it could partly be because there’s no studs on my dad’s little truck.
I looked up the job I was talking about yesterday […]

I’ve had two big blows today–one to the ego and one to the pocketbook.
I started the day with a body fat analysis. It was as awful as it sounds and I don’t know why I expected it to be anything other than that. Honestly, I thought my body fat percentage would […]

Don’t you love it when people think you should be available 24/7 to take care of their needs? I can understand a baby being demanding, but an independent old woman? Nope. Can’t understand it at all.
The phone rang at 9 this morning and I could hear my grandma squawking on the answering machine, even […]
