I’m going to admit that the only reason I read this book was because there was a movie that got good reviews made from it.  I will also admit that in this circumstance, I usually watch the movie first for two reasons: (1) then I know what the damn thing is about, and (2) I [...]

Poptastic Edition! Apparently I’m cursed with having pop songs in my head this week.  So now you’ll be stuck with them. The first comes from Cobra Starship featuring some trick from Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester.  This song is one of those if you heard it in the car, you’d be tapping the gas (and hopefully [...]

I bought a pint of ice cream for my PMSing tonight and now I don’t feel like eating it.  What the heck is happening to me? I really hope things begin to pick up at the new job.  I’m the wrong kind of person to be able to string out with small projects until the [...]

As first days go, I’d say I was having a decent one.  I was early to orientation (first one there) and I even found a parking spot (even if it was in the $10 garage as opposed to the $3.50 garage).  I had even managed to fairly comprehensively ignore the two people in the orientation [...]

It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of change.  This is one of those rare times when I wanted change and I got it….but I still have reservations about it. You see, I’m one of those people who can eat the same thing for dinner three nights in a row because I feel like [...]

So having had the time to think this week (though not much), I’ve been thinking a great deal about topics I’d normally leave for another day and time.  One of those topics, as I pass by several Catholic churches every day, is my well bred Catholic Guilt. I’ve decided, rather uneventfully, that this guilt which [...]

…and this was how… Now if only I could make up something that creative.  Apparently I owe the Duggars for some of my internet fame.

I haven’t gotten up at a consistent 8:00 a.m. without an alarm in years.  Usually 8 a.m. is when I get up, let the dog out and then go back to bed.  But as it seems, this week off in between jobs is going to get me reacquainted with myself and I have a lot [...]

I took a nap this afternoon because I deserved it.   It was like a nap of retribution for two years of a crappy job.  Of course, that didn’t quite erase the idiocy. Now I’m going to enjoy the rest of my first day of the Week Inbetween.  I’ll be back tomorrow with something more insightful.  [...]
