Remember how a few months back I electrocuted myself by unplugging my computer and earned the nickname Sparky, thanks to the Hubster and his quick wit? Today I was hanging out at the stove, cooking some lunch, and I decided I needed more light. I reach up to the above stove switch and flip it,…

I love dinosaurs. Who doesn’t? They are cool to think about, running all over the earth. I mean, cool because it’s not actually happening. Let’s face it – I don’t have a gun to bring down a T-Rex so I sure as hell don’t want a live one running around on the planet. But let’s…

I have terrorized the Fed Ex man so badly that all employees who deliver to my home are in fear for their lives. It all started in 2012 when we moved to WA and I opened my infant home daycare. Everyone who knows an infant, knows that nap times are sacred events that must be…

Yesterday I wrote a blog about buying boxed foods from the UK that were made by American companies but had far fewer unpronounceable words in the ingredient list than their American counterpart. I was going to order from Amazon UK and I was swimming along fairly well. And then I hit a roadblock. You can’t…

I’ve been on vacation now for just over a week. It’s not really a vacation since I’m sitting at home but, I’m not working so that’s amazing. Here’s the only problem I have. Well, I have a couple, but we’ll talk about one of them today. Why is daytime TV so boring?! It is the…

126. That was the number that redefined my life. One-hundred motherfucking twenty-six. The moment I managed to hack into encrypted data in my Apple accounts.

You know what they should call appointments for your car? The ‘sit and wait for hours so we can leave your car in the parking lot while we work on the other 100 cars we gave that appointment to’ club. Even though there are only 6 mechanics on duty. Someone should be shanked. As soon as…

Today is one of those days where I want to peel my face off and go do something productive as someone else. Anyone else feeling that way?! No? Okay. Awkward silence. Today I have dealt with the most inept people, incapable of seeing logic and fulfilling a simple request. I wish everyone was Amazon. Amazon…

Last night I was finishing up the last of my Christmas newsletters when I began to sweat. As I lifted an envelope to my mouth, I realized I was probably licking toxic glue. I ignored my paranoid side and kept sealing envelopes. Ten minutes later, I was still sweating. Paranoia won out and I went…

I have used my Kindle so often and for so many years that it has finally decided to quit life. Things aren’t in dire shape yet, but if I don’t get a new one for Christmas there is a very real possibility that I will shank someone. That someone will be the Hubster. He knows…
