Yesterday afternoon at work, I was speaking on the phone with a gentleman in Tampa, walking through various procedures on the computer with him, when suddenly there was a HUMONGOUS BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!! Then my monitor went sort of tie-died bluish purple and the phone went dead. We had been struck by lightening. As I am writing […]

Well, I’ve given up. It’s 8:39 A.M. and I have downed the better part of a 32 oz McDonald’s Diet Coke. This is not my finest hour. I decided that I had proved my point. After all, I wanted to know that I could give it up if I wanted to’that I was not powerless […]

Ok, this begins Day One of the Decaffeinated Weetabix. My blood has the viscosity of slightly overcooked oatmeal. My head is filled with lovely bunches of cotton It is 10:30 a.m. I’ve decided that I’m going to, for the most part, pretend that I’m a vegetarian. When I was a vegetarian, I ate rather healthy […]

I’m thinking about not drinking Diet Coke anymore. It can’t be terribly good for you. Also, I learned that soda manufacturers wrongly list that diet soda with Nutrasweet contains zero calories. C’mon people. Remember back when Paula Abdul used to sing ‘Just 1 calorie! Diet Coke!’. Look at a Diet Coke label today and you’ll […]

Yesterday, I brought my mom and my little brother Jonathon to the Renaissance Fair. It was sort of spur of the moment’ a very cool day (64-70 degrees) and a day when we didn’t already have some major thing planned. The stars were in alignment, so to speak. I should preface this here by saying […]

I took some allergy medicine last night so I slept wonderful restful druggie sleep smack in the middle of the bed. My hair is behaving. It’s a wonderful day. Last night, when I put my dinner leftovers (mozzarella […]

Last night, our volleyball team got shanked again’this time by a team with only four players. I’m a little discombobulated now. I mean, we used to be in second place, losing out only to a team of cyborg barflies for whom chronic drinking has the same affect as training at high altitudes. And I was […]

My life is completely hypocritical. I pride myself on being a feminist. I can point out politically incorrect ad campaigns and dissect insulting behavior in a heartbeat. Yet in my every day actions, I am a helpless wittle flower, wilting at the sign of adversity or gender-opposite tasks. This morning, I told you about how […]

This summer I decided that I was going to do something that I’ve wanted to do all of my life: get professional vocal training. I’ve sung a lot in bars and stuff, but I really want to get involved in musical theatre and just be more satisfied with my voice in general. I decided to […]

Now a bit of disturbing news from the family that puts the ‘fun’ in ‘dysfunctional’: My Mafia Grandma’s Betty is in the hospital. Perhaps I should explain. My Mafia Grandma couldn’t stand working for the MAN anymore, so she became her own boss. She had a lot of experience working in group homes, so she […]
