Queen of Rambles

I’m not sure where he found the article, but markmc03 has an excellent first hand account of what happened in NO last week. The direct link is here: HERE. It is inspiring and anger-inducing, but well worth the read. There are also other links that will fan your flames of outrage. I think these things [...]

I really have nothing to say tonight, but when did that ever stop me? I think I’ve earned the name Queen of Rambles. I never said they were GOOD rambles though. I’m just too tired to think straight. I don’t think I’m ever going to eat Mexican food again. I woke up with tummy problems [...]

I had an unusual call today. I was offered a free lance position as a sausage inspector. It seems right up my alley, doesn’t it? Several weeks ago I was sucked into the many, many, MANY ShadowShopper spam e-mails I receive every day and decided to check it out. I signed up, filled out my [...]

I have proof that the world is about to end. Vegetables have started humping: Just a hint for those of you who may find humping vegetables in your own grocery store–only buy them for the novelty.

He also laughed when he saw me drinking milk out of a wine glass, but that’s neither [...]

When I was little I loved doing crafts, but I could never stick with one for very long because I was such a perfectionist that I’d get mad if I made one tiny mistake and I’d throw the whole thing out. It took moving to Sweden and having a very patient, very encouraging friend to [...]

I love this story. I hope you all take a couple of minutes to read it. It should warm the cockles of your heart. To sum up, a teenager in NO stole an abandoned school bus, packed it full of strangers and drove it to the Houston Astrodome. I don’t advocate stealing, but in this [...]

I feel like Mike has turned into my handy dandy cabana boy or something. I try to help around here until my ute starts burning so badly that I have to sit down or faint. He prefers that I sit down. He worked his tail off today and this place if finally starting to feel [...]

I feel like I’ve been through the wringer this week and I am sitting here in my comfy house with easy access to water and three toilets to choose from. I’ve been watching so much of the news that I can’t take it anymore. Last night I hardly slept at all because I couldn’t get [...]
