Queen of Rambles

I did a really stupid thing today. I looked in my freezer, saw the frozen sugar cookies, and decided I should heat one in the microwave and test it out. I made them a couple of weeks ago, but my dough scoop was broken so they didn’t turn out as pretty as I like. I [...]

I can’t find adventure, but adventure sure can find me. I think I’ve already found my 2009 New Year’s Resolution: look through the damned peephole before answering the door! I was expecting the maintenance man, so when there was a loud knock on the door this morning I anticipated a man with a bucket of [...]

Life has been hectic today. I suppose that comes with the holiday season, but can you believe I haven’t even finished reading my Livejournal Friends List from this morning? Let’s not even discuss my Google Reader. If I can’t complete these two all-important tasks you KNOW life is insane. It doesn’t help that I showed [...]

Did I ever mention I found our Christmas decorations? I’m sure you’ve been worried, but never fear. About two hours before the party I had a flash, not unlike an Intersect flash, and realized they were in a tub behind a chair in the loft. Hidden in plain sight. Did I ever mention we have [...]

Ugh. I feel fat and gross and ugly and fat and did I mention ugly and gross? Guess what? My period is due tomorrow. No wonder I’m weepy and self-loathing. Still, I am the heaviest I’ve been in years and I know it is because I have slowly let my healthy eating habits slip. I’ve [...]

So remember last year when everyone in my family bitched about our holiday card being a picture of Erik with no hint of his parents? Maybe you don’t remember, but there was bitching. Remember this year when we tried to get a happy family picture and ended up with this: I, like many of you, [...]

Christmas is OVER. DONE. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. You can have your Merry Christmas. I don’t begrudge you. In fact, can I come over and play under your Christmas tree? Christmas is over at my house. I’m going to pack up our 3 ft tree and put it in storage until I have a ten [...]

I was so pissed at Overstock.com this morning that I knew I couldn’t call them on the phone. I would be reduced to spitting and cursing and not getting my way at all. Why would a customer service agent want to help or deal with an angry, mean customer? They aren’t the ones who came [...]

I am so angry right now I could chew someone’s face off. I bought three pieces of clothing from overstock.com. None of them fit. I followed their return procedure. It was stupid and they chared me $4.55 for a pre-paid shipping label for each item. I decided I just wouldn’t use those labels and send [...]

I’m going to bed early tonight and you can’t stop me! Not that you ever do. I stop myself by thinking someone is going to send me a really cool e-mail and I have to check and check and check and no really cool e-mail ever arrives. All the cool e-mail is there when I [...]
