I often wonder when I will hit that moment of no return and become a hermit. Ever since retiring from the daycare world, I’ve been venturing out of the house less and less often. I used to drag Hubster out each evening after he returned home from work, desperate for human interaction. He would complain…

Well, I made it home from my vacation. For 10 whole days I played on the East Coast, without Hubster or Lola. To be clear, I ate on the East Coast – playing required more effort than I was capable of. I ate at so many restaurants that the event became dubbed Foodcation 2017. Every…

Today I turn 34. Now, some of you may find the prospect of aging to be scary, but I don’t. I find myself eagerly awaiting old age and all its glorious benefits. In case you are depressed about your own aging, here’s a list of a few things I’m looking forward to. I could say whatever…

Well, it’s finally happened – I drove my Twitter followers crazy. They spent this week bumping into walls and getting nowhere and it’s all my fault. If this were a human experiment on the effects of psychological stress on the collective psyche, I’d say we’ve reached the point where my polls are doing maximum damage.…

This weekend Hubster and I convened the Family Budget Committee to discuss our purchases for the previous month and any upcoming expenditures that may not have the proper monetary coverage yet. I’d like to say that the meeting went well, but unfortunately the CEO of the Family Budget has a slight Amazon addiction that she…

Last night was a weird night. Hubster and Lola went to bed at their customary 10pm and I was left to my own devices until I got sleepy. Sometime past 1am, after several snacks, a cheesy yet awesome SyFy movie, a home improvement show or 3, and a comedy routine, I was finally ready for bed.…

I would like to apologize in advance, I didn’t mean to start the robot uprising, but now that it’s here I think we should all just embrace it. Let’s face it, the people who fight back against the robots are always the people who die first or suffer great personal tragedy. Since dignified suffering has…

I haven’t written a blog post in a few days. I’d like to say I was working very hard on them, but that would be a lie. I was playing internet based games and snacking on potato chips while my brain protested any sort of labor. I also watched a lot of SyFy original movies…

We have had some excitement here in my area of Washington State. Two days ago we had an earthquake. Now, generally we don’t get squirrely about earthquakes in this area because we get tiny rumbles every so often. However, in the five years I’ve lived here, I’ve never felt a rumble at all. Sure, the news…

I made a critical error when ordering my Girl Scout cookies this year. Each year I order cookies just after eating a large, usually pasta centric, meal. The mighty belly is satiated and I can think with the rational side of my brain when calculating just how many boxes I need to order in January…
