They offered us four hours of leave if we walked 3.1 miles on Saturday. The exact amount of time I need so I can be in line for the first showing of the latest Indiana Jones movie when it comes out. I wouldn’t be a “geek” if I had allowed this kind of opportunity slip…

I hate tech support and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. By the time I’ve called tech support, I’ve unplugged, re-plugged, checked plugs, checked wires, swapped cables, rebooted, refreshed, recycled every thing I own attached to whatever it is that’s giving me grief – whether it’s the cable TV or the cable modem. Which means…

Life is a balance… Bad Things I lost my cell phone. My obnoxiously girly pink phone that plays the theme to Indiana Jones. A long time acquaintance finally succumbed to Cystic Fibrosis after a 41+ year battle. The IRS asked for a kidney this year. Why not, I have two! Big thanks to a former…

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?…

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 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…

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…

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.

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…

…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…

“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…
