mostly personal anecdotes where I sometimes try to be humorous

(maybe not always, Not everytime, but sometimes)

  • TMI

    A couple of my friends have recently come up to me to announce major health issues which have been followed with a statement like “well, I was concerned about telling you because I thought it was too much information”. So, I’m writing this for them. Too Much Information(TMI) – according to Beth What constitutes TMI?…

  • Update for Charla

    Since my step-mom uses this blog as an update on what’s going on (or what I’m thinking about) and I’ve been really bad about posting lately, I thought I’d update her. My apologies to the rest of you who probably are a couple of seconds from yawning if you go much past this sentence. Sam…

  • Update

    My step-mom is one of my biggest fans and since she also uses the site to get updates on what’s happening in my world, I figured it was time to post one. The rest of you can yawn and drool through the post if you make it past this sentence. About three weeks ago Sam…

  • Stuff White People Like

    Stuff White People LikeI keep bumping into this site thanks to several friends, so since I’m seriously too lazy to post something of my very own, I thought I’d pass this along … and btw, this white girl likes blogs poking fun at what “white people like”, although she occasionally holds her head in shame…

  • “Glass Half Full!”

    I’m a freak magnet. Just take my word for it. It’s just something about me – like Anna is good with computers, Jeff is good at drawing and well Beth, Beth is good at having crazy randomness bump into her. I’ve had days when it’s been easy – studying for a test and some random…

  • Cubicles

    Last week I was fishing around for blog ideas and my cousin suggested something along the lines of people who forget they’re in a cubicle farm and thus end up sharing too much on personal phone calls. I can’t relate. Sure, I work in a sea of cubicles, but everyone goes all secret agent when…

  • For Susan

    Susan, who is both an amazing person and is hands-down one of the most amazing meeting facilitators ever (she makes meetings both worthwhile and fun), told us about the following fun little “performance art” piece: And since I’m in a YouTube frame of mind, I thought I’d pass it along.

  • Young at Heart

    A grab bag of some random thoughts… After I graduated from college, my mother gave me a copy of Robert Fulghum’s book titled Uh Oh. In truth, without cracking it open, I decided it was silly, overly simplistic and a better choice for anyone else but me. I finally did read it (a sure sign…

  • Daylight Savings

    …or Daylight Saving Time, if you prefer. I was informed the latter was the proper term, but really let’s just cut to the chase. I hate it no matter what you call it.You see, I’m not a morning person and getting up an extra hour early, even if it means I’m leaving less of a…

  • Dungeons & Dragons: Goodbye to Gary Gygax

    I remember my first exposure to Dungeons & Dragons. It was the “it” game in the 1970’s and because it was the “it” game my mother grabbed a copy from the local Toy Box (it was the overpriced mall version of Toys R Us back in the day – before Kaybee). Knowing my mother, she…

  • Ringing Endorsement

    “I like Obama because he doesn’t use all them dictionary like words.”(NPR interview on All Things Considered, Feb. 27, 2008) I’m sold!! Anyone who successfully runs a campaign without using words from the dictionary has my vote. I propose we institute The Jabberwocky Award for Excellence in Glossolalia (psst, your dictionary like word for the…

  • Geek Conversations

    Co-worker: I’ve always wondered why Rogue doesn’t fly in the X-Men movies? Me: Do you want to know? Co-worker: Yes. Me: Are you SURE you really want to know? Co-worker: Tell me. Twenty minutes later after covering both the history of Rogue in the X-Men and a smidge of the alternate universe the Age of…

  • The Universe is Out to Get Me: And it’s Eyeing You, Too!

    Somewhere out there in the net is a beautiful post discussing the idea that the universe is inherently mean and is out to get you. Yes my friend, the universe has you in its sights and you’d better start running a little “z” pattern (which you really run not because it will help you escape…

  • I Can Has Cheezburger

    Somedays, I need a little I Can Has Cheezburger pick-me-up. From their archives…

  • Everything Happens for a Reason

    WARNING: Yes, every now and again you get an actual warning before a post because I can feel something very un-ladylike is about to spew forth from my fingers – it’s when my writing becomes less whatever it is and more about channeling Louis Black. In other words, I’m ANGRY and on the edge of…
