Monthly Archive for April, 2007

A month of sweeping changes

At the beginning of April, I posted about making the lists. They started as just a reminder to me of what needed to be done around the house, but has since grown to become The Lists. I just have to say, I didn’t think it would work as well as it did, and I didn’t [...]

Busy weekend

Despite being in a severe funk all weekend, I managed to do all of the following: Made the filling for dolmas, but did not actually assemble them because I realized that making dolmas was an extreme pain in the ass. So, now I have uncooked, unwrapped dolma filling in a bowl in my fridge looking [...]

Strange Realization

As some of my long-term readers know, TPO and I have been living in Hawaii for over 6 years now. What some people may not know is that since we have been here, TPO has completed two tours of duty and has just started his third. His first tour was to a shore command – [...]

Thursday Thirteen #3

Wow – I’ve stuck with this for three weeks now!! Let’s see how long it takes for me to get lazy and “skip” a week or 5.

Size matters

Well, I was pointed in the direction of BusyMom’s 5 Most Worn Out Blog Topics, and was sort of struck by #2 – partially because this seems weird to me, but mostly because it strikes at an issue close to my heart (you know, me working at Coffee Disneyland and such). Why would you intentionally [...]

Shudder

This is how desperate things are getting: I am seriously thinking of going back to the company I left last August because I know that despite the emotionally draining aspect of those calls, I would at least be paid a wage that didn’t insult me. Also, I know they’d take me back in a heartbeat. [...]

How to have a crappy blog

Just over the past couple of days, one Mr. Noah Arney (who will not get linked to because I’m feeling spiteful, however I’m sure a google search for that name will lead you to his direction) had this very site linked from his under the heading of “The Bloggerel.” Supposedly, it was to “showcase” some [...]

Eloquence in action

Leave it to Bourdain to, yet again, put his finger right on what exactly was bugging the ever living fuck out of me on the Food Network. This time his target was the lamely executed Food Network Awards – my god, what a bore-fest that was! And I had it DVRed so I could fast [...]

Nothing to say

I’m in an odd mood where I want to post something, but I have absolutely nothing on my mind that I feel is worthy enough to post about. I know, I know – when has that ever stopped me before? But, everything going on in my life right now is piddly little things that don’t [...]
