Queen of Rambles

We need to install a security system in our apartment. We need video monitors, beeping beeping things, trip wires, the works! Someone keeps coming in every night and attacking my poor little baby. They stretch and stretch his poor little legs, leaving elongated bones as evidence. Somehow they even manage to stretch […]

It’s Friday! That means it’s party day! Though every day around these parts feels like party day. That’s what happens when you pretend you are fun and vivacious–you get to have lots of fun and have to be vivacious all the time. Whew.
Today, though, was even beyond our normal socializing standards. […]

I got two important things done today. My Old Navy clothes are finally on their way back to Old Navy. I hope I get a full refund. I had to fill in a paper stating why I was returning the clothes. Writing 35 six times to indicate I simply didn’t like them […]

Our gym only has Zumba, a high energy dance class, once a week during the days. Between being out of town, Halloween parties, child sickness and my own sickness I haven’t been in well over a month. The last time I was there they were still doing a split format with 45 minutes […]

As some of you may recall, back in January I decided I was going to stop being nervous and scared. I decided to take control of my own happiness and be vivacious. I was going to be fun and breezy, no matter what. I was going to talk to people and not hide […]

First, a political link about economics in general: Just the Math.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled ramble.
I got to drive Mike’s new car all the way to our nearest metro station today. I decided I have no desire to ever drive his car again. It feels funny and smells like […]

Happy Halloween! I hope you all got something a little sweet today. I baked two pies because I am insane in the membrane. Pumpkin pie on Halloween is a family tradition, though as a parent I’m wondering why. Isn’t there enough sugar? Shouldn’t we change the name of the holiday […]

The Wii is here! The Wii is here!
It’s a good thing I happened to glance down and see the UPS man. I’m psychic so knew it had to be the Wii. I ran into the bedroom and put some clothes on (I just got out of the shower) just in time for […]
