TGIF is an understatement

All I can say is thank GOD it’s finally Friday. This week, while busy, felt like it took forever to go by. I’m hoping that the hours until the weekend go significantly faster, but I won’t hold my breath.
In the meantime, I’m leaving you with this song that I can’t get out of my head. [...]

Let’s play doctor

Note: Sadly, this is not a fun “playing doctor” story. I’ll just throw that out there now, so I don’t promote any false expectations. (That’s not to say there won’t ever be a fun story of that ilk, though, if I get my way…)
But this, this is a story about vomiting (so I guess [...]

My own brand of organized

This may be a strange thing to write, but I really do appreciate the cleaning staff that works in my office. I know our center takes great pride in its appearance, and the cleaning staff makes sure that it can.
And personally, I love coming in to a tidy workspace, clean desk, emptied trashcan, etc.
What I [...]

What my profile says about me (behind my back)

When I started running with my group I signed up with their page on Meetup.com to get the alerts and stay connected and whatnot. I didn’t fill out a whole lot of information about other interests – preferring to keep it simple – but I did agree to get an email once a week, letting [...]

Rookie mistake

I really should have known better. It’s not like I hadn’t experienced the mayhem before. It’s not like I didn’t know I’d have to be dodging the masses and dealing with the intelligence-challenged. But I was on a mission.
And so, plan of attack in mind, I went to the mall on a Friday evening.
I had [...]

The ’stache

I’ve never been a big fan of the solo mustache – sometimes intrigued, never a fan. As you can see from this photo, even from a young age I had my concerns.
But since I’ve heard about Movember more this year than I ever have before, and it even came up in my daily news round [...]

Sad day

I never thought I’d be one of those people whose mood was significantly affected by her sports teams’ wins and losses. Until now. I’m still not as bad as some people I know…but it has happened. Which means that today, to be dramatic, I’m in mourning. I’m even wearing black.
I suppose you could argue that [...]

What degree do you need for that?

After reading a post a few weeks ago by Foggy Dew, in which he touched on how interesting it might be to be a window washer, I started thinking about alternative careers, myself. Now, I don’t know that I’d want to do any of these for an extended period of time (except maybe the last [...]

Tough love

Dear Phillies,
First off, I’m so glad that you won last night. Really, I am. And even though you managed to let a six run lead dwindle to just two, I’m still proud that you didn’t let the Yankees end it in Philly. That really would have stung.
But here’s the thing: you’re driving me crazy the [...]

“(740): the jolly green giant just punched the pope. halloween is the best.”

This past weekend was both ridiculously fun and utterly exhausting. I’d say thank goodness for that extra hour of sleep yesterday, but I needed much more than that for it to matter. (I know – poor me.)
So, back to Friday’s contest – the balloon boy pumpkin didn’t win. But it’s okay because this took first [...]
