Thinking merry, dammit

Friday, November 30th, 2007

I’ve had enough of the internet for a couple days, I think. Tis the freakin’ season to be freakin’ jolly, dammit!
So, in the spirit of ho-ho-ho-ing, I’m going to share a few favorite ornaments from my tree with y’all. I adore my tree, and every single ornament on it is there because it means something. […]

Flight, tights and walking the plank

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

I have officially second-guessed myself into a state of paralysis. I have no idea what I’m doing, what I’m going to do, what I could or should do.
My PotC Magic 8-Skull answers every single question with “Walk the Plank”. I’m hoping it’s broken, because—if not—that sucks.
In other news, totally addicted to Smallville now. When it […]

Peeking out from under my rock

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I must now be an official Navy SEAL since I feel like I’ve survived Hell Week. And how come no matter which direction a family member turns to sneeze or cough, it’s MY direction?
In lieu of real content, a short list of questions I’ve been asked in the past couple of days:
Can we decorate the […]

Dude, free candy?

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

For the first time in many a year, I ventured out on Black Friday morning. Not at 5:00am, mind you, because there’s nothing out there worth my dealing with strangers at that ungodly hour of the morning. But Best Buy has a mini-DVD camcorder bundle (w/ case and DVDs) for a decent price and—since the […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Time for snow already?

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Note to self: Call storage facility and then congratulate self on once again leaving something to the very last second. Also accept kudos from husband who is always the one who has to drive the poorly-heated, very non-4-wheel-drive Mustang to the storage facility well after the very last second. You’d never guess I have […]

Returned from the frozen tundra

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Things I figured out this weekend:
1. The frigid, butt-crack-of-dawn walk from the heated camper to the heated bathroom because the short kid has to pee sucks.
2. Having the husband after the fact say “He’s a boy, why didn’t you tell him to piss off the deck?” sucks more.
3. My boots are no […]

How many degrees did that say?

Friday, November 16th, 2007

The last riding weekend of the season (for the kids and I) is imminent. It’s also time to bring the four-wheelers home, since the husband plows with mine.
Now down here in the central part of the state, it’s starting to get a little chilly in the mornings. (Translation for non-New Englanders: seeing your breath, scraping […]

My head just went boom

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

From the Yahoo page:
No more ‘ho ho ho’:
Santas are told to say “ha ha ha” instead of “ho ho ho” so they don’t offend women.
Are you kidding me?
Seriously, I don’t even have the words to express how much this pisses me off.
It just…:rant:
Plus, wouldn’t this only be offensive if you considered yourself a […]

I need a “doink doink” button

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

You know, that sound from Law & Order that signifies a scene change and a wratcheting up of the tension?
Well…
Doink doink
Today will be Day 1 of no Dunkin Donuts.
(This is where I pause to sigh and bang my head on the desk.) A while back I weaned myself from four large iced coffees to […]
