Queen of Rambles

Remember that old Wendy’s campaign that said “Where’s the beef?” My friend and I were little weirdos and used to sit on my front porch yelling “Where’s the beef? IN THE TOILET!” at passing cars. Then we’d giggle manically and stick our tongues out. Entertainment in the time before video games and the ‘net was [...]

I was just looking at my activity log and noticed that a lot of people search for Swedish meatballs. I can’t blame you. They are yummy. It appears that the search function only works on the main blog and you actually have to go to my very, very sadly neglected recipe blog to find the [...]

I’m bored! Imagine that in the most annoying, whining voice you can conjure. Teachers and mothers, you should have no trouble hearing that voice in your head. At least you don’t have to hear it for real from me. I am itching to do some sewing and it is sooooooooo tempting to go in and [...]

I should stop thinking of projects when I am in a state that doesn’t allow me to do projects. I’ve decided I want to make a Shoemaker’s Puzzle quilt for my bed. I’d do it in white and tealish colors. For a long, long time I was trying to make a Storm at Sea quilt, [...]

It’s 5 am and I have nothing intelligent to say. I hate being up at 5 o’freaking clock on a Saturday morning, but my stomach tells me it is the best thing for me. Lucky you, you get to read incoherent ramblings. I think Thumper is trying to burrow his way out of my belly. [...]

I just told Verizon to go f— themselves and it looks like they are the only phone service providers in the apartment complex we are moving to. I will not give them my business. I do not need to jump through ten million ridiculous hoops to get a phone when I have an excellent credit [...]

I woke up this morning, dragged my sorry self to the couch, reached to turn on the laptop and was completely THWARTED! It was GONE! I looked under the couch blanket. I looked under the table. I looked in the bedroom in case I was losing my mind and forgot that I’d taken it to [...]

It was yet another exciting day in the life of Carrie. I went grocery shopping in middle of the day, which is always an experience to write home about. Only I don’t write home. I write in my blog. Perhaps that expression needs to be updated. Mid-week, middle of the day shopping always involves lots [...]

Mike and I are playing hooky from birthing class tonight. Too bad we aren’t making out behind the gym. Isn’t that what people do when they play hooky? The one time I played hooky, I hid in my room doing my homework all day. Was there ever any doubt that I was a nerd? My [...]

This is going to be a whining, self-serving, annoying entry. You’ve been warned. Turn away now while you have the chance. Yesterday was a good day. I didn’t have any side/leg pain and was daring to hope that ThumperShitHead had moved his fat head off my sciatica. I didn’t want to say anything because I [...]
