Base housing had another scheduled power outage in housing. By ‘scheduled’ I mean they send you an email and tell you the power outage is from 0800-0900 and then at 1300 everything in your house shuts down. There I am, playing around on my $2,000 iMac, when all of a sudden I hear a pop…

Lola finally caught that squirrel…
Last night, Lola was on fire. She was moving her short, chubby legs just as fast as she could. There were whimpers of delight. Her heart was pounding and her breathing was rapid. The Mommybeast was prepared to administer CPR and/or first aid should Lola need it. But she didn’t. With one final push she…

I fell out of bed this morning…
Last night I struggled to fall asleep. It was after midnight and I knew that my clock was going to go off at 0500. My brain was doing the “if you fall asleep right now you’ll get (blank) hours of sleep” deal that all brains do to stay awake and torture your body. Stupid brain.…

Lola had the fur scared off her….
This morning Lola and I made the command decision to clean the house. We couldn’t find a housecleaner that we liked and could afford so we’re doing all the heavy lifting ourselves. Dreams of hiring a housekeeper made us complacent this week. So there I am, moving all of our furniture, when I get the…

I have a confession to make. My house is a mess, my clean laundry for the past month and a half is just piled onto the spare bed (which is king sized) with no room for more, and I can’t seem to beat the spiders this summer. I’m going insane. I briefly lost my sanity…
Read MoreDead Eyes has the perfect part….
Oh boy. Kristen Stewart is doing another movie, Equals. Shoot me now. I literally pray for the end of the movie profession as a whole just to rid my eyes of this thing on my screen. Apparently directors have tired of Kristen’s dead emotions but they still want to cast her. Probably because she’s now proven…

I need an intervention…
A reader recently commented on my last post about Amazon Prime. The post where I admitted to buying a year’s worth of Skittles. Because I could. The reader tells me that her husband also got pulled in by Amazon. He bought 18 pounds of jelly beans. 18 pounds!!! To put that in perspective, I did some math for…

The internet found another victim…
Remember how I have a deep love for Amazon and its Prime membership that gives me free shipping on items already priced low? There’s a possibility that they have turned that love into a way to make me fat(ter). Amazon Pantry. Now I don’t even have to go to the grocery store and walk around. What…
Read MoreHey look, people who think like me…
So my blog has been on fire lately and I’ve been having a heck of a laugh seeing what search terms are leading people into my blog. I’ve picked the most recent and tried to determine which blog post they actually ended up reading based on their searches. There were a few really fun ones…

I am a nerd…
I was happily tooling around the internet when I stumbled into a website that had transcripts on it. I spent about an hour reading various posts and interviews. I was laughing, pondering, questioning and all around having a good time. Then I realized I was on the National Public Radio transcript site. I’m a nerd and no…
