  • I Like What I Like

    I like what I like.  In fact, I like what I like so much this should be the title of the post.   Now occasionally, I do run across people who don’t like the things I like.  I know.  It’s a little shocking to me, too.  And sometimes those people are actually brazen enough with their dislike to…

  • Confessions

    I have a few random confessions I’d like to get off of my chest.  Sure, you might call this filler or maybe even a fluff piece to limp through the rest of the Creativity Challenge and you may be right, but that’s not going to stop me.  Here they are in all their disjointed glory:…

  • Exposed: Big Blue Mess Actually Finnish Weather Balloon Launcher

    It’s about time I confessed.  For years now, I’ve presented myself as a sarcastic middle-aged Texan.  I’ve made outrageous claims only to state them as fact.  For example: “Houston is the armpit of the state”. I might not have said it quite so boldly, but the careful reader could easily read between the lines.  “All…

  • Death, Please!

    Earlier this week, an acquaintance of mine blind copied me on a note she’d sent to her co-workers who sit in her immediate work area.  The note started off like many work emails do: “Earlier this morning, someone left half of a cake on the table in our area.” YAY! CAKE!  CAKE IS YUMMY! I…

  • The Near Birth of Greene Snottis

    On Christmas Eve, the day before I entered this world, my mom was in a bar drinking, chain-smoking and watching a Cowboys game.  Warning labels hadn’t been gracing the packs of cigarettes for all that long and I hope that not a lot of information about fetal alcohol syndrome was known at the time; otherwise,…

  • Day 1: June Creativity Challenge

    I just finished having dinner with my friend Kendra and learned that there is a creativity challenge going on where participants commit to doing something creative every day for the month of June.  For Kendra’s husband Jeff, the artist, he and his friends typically draw a comic a day (or they have in the past) (Psst –…

  • A Work Theory

    I’m working on a theory.  It’s not a well thought out theory or even a well put together theory, but it’s a theory nonetheless.  My theory is this: If you put more than two people in an office, someone will go nuts.  This is inevitable even if both people started out perfectly sane.  I’m not…

  • Retraction: Every Quake You Fake

    My husband would like it noted (and by “like it noted” I mean he may have said in passing “that’s not me, that’s you”) that he does not in fact make fun of The Police’s “Every Breathe You Take” and if he did, it would only occur when his wife was doing it, too.  (Well, how…

  • The Rehearsal

    We had our first run through of our 301 Improv show yesterday.  (Did I mention there’s a show coming up?  March 11th, 10pm? Get your tickets now before they sell out (and they will sell out).  The place only seats about 50 and I want you there versus some crazy co-worker who got wind of…

  • Shameless Self-Promotion: My Improv Show!!

    Tickets are now available for the Improv 301 Graduation Show. (psst, click on the link to purchase your tickets). Come show your support for me (well ok,  and I those other people, too since they’re the real talent, and I’ll be the one hyperventilating in the corner.)  I guarantee laughter and good times (especially, if you hit one of…
