I would like to try to make an informed decision when it comes time to vote for the next Prez this November, so being a good little voter, I am taking a few minutes to peruse some of the key issues at Obama’s campaign website. I’m still a little undecided about the various tax cuts [...]

While driving home from work yesterday, I heard a commercial by the local phone company, touting their internet (DSL).  They were laying the smack down against their closest competitor, the local cable company. I swear it sounded like I was listening to the mud-slinging commercials done by political candidates. “They promise this, but how do you [...]

Our pool has evaporated to maybe, oh, half of it’s full capacity (yep, we’ve been really bad about it this year. I think we swam in it twice and gave up on the algae battle). We need to drain it to put an end to the ‘squito breeding harbor, but we don’t want to spend [...]

I’m a few days late on this, but I needed time to try to find others to pass the award on to who I am fairly sure haven’t received this one yet.  If you have and I just didn’t see it – well, you deserve the award again anyway! Thank you to Jennifer at Fat [...]

  Where were you that morning? I think the first plane had already hit by the time I was in the car and driving to work.  We are three hours behind New York so it was still very early for us.  I was listening to Howard Stern, who was relaying that there were reports that [...]

Sometimes the titles to the quests in the game make me giggle.  They like to use puns a lot, parodies on stuff, things like that. Yesterday, we got a quest out in Draenei land that really caught my eye.  The name of it looked REAALLY familiar. “Precious and Fragile Things, Need Special Handling” It was [...]

I started a new character tonight – a Draenei Shaman.  My husband chose a Draenei Mage.  When we play with the intent of grouping, we tend to pick characters in the same region, especially with the “refer a friend” bonus that we’re making use of right now.  He “referred” me and I created a new [...]

Feh.  Somehow working from home yesterday left me feeling like my weekend was already nearly overwith.  Probably didn’t help that we stayed up way late last night playing video games. At least the kiddo let me sleep on the floor of her room for another hour after she woke up while she played with her [...]

My tastes in music vary pretty widely, although not quite as much as my husband’s. But anyway. I like listening to stuff from the 80s and 90s (mostly alternative from the 90s); I’ll occasionally listen to hard rock/alternative, which includes Korn and Tool; if the mood strikes, I’ll also listen to easy listening.  Then there [...]

So my plan earlier was to do as much work at the day job before lunch so that I could relax the rest of the afternoon.  Well, it’s a good thing I did. I ended up leaving work early because my husband – whom I carpool with because we work the same shift at the [...]
