Someone That Scares You

March 21, 2012

When I graduated high school, I wrote letters to several of my high school teachers (and even one teacher that I never had, but who had supported me in a time of need).  These teachers were part of what I called the Radical Anarchist Teacher Group.  They weren’t truly radical or anarchist, but when I [...]

Only Fools Dive In

May 25, 2011

I am having one of those days where my theme music ought to be “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” by the Rolling Stones.  Except, on days like today, the line “but if you try sometime/you just might find/you get what you need” is complete and utter bullshit.  So much for musical justice. A [...]

My Own Worst Critic

March 10, 2011

They say that no one is harder on us than ourselves.  There are some people for whom this is absolutely not true.  I, for one, don’t think this rule applies to Kanye West.  But that’s pure conjecture and I could be wrong.  (I don’t think I am, but I could be.) I digress. This whole [...]

Snow What?

February 2, 2011

This storm, like every other one this year, has been a huge disappointment.  It started off that it was going to be 10-15 inches.  Then they hedged their bet with a 10-12 prediction.  Last night, after it had already started snowing, all of a sudden, it was 7-8.  I look out my window this morning [...]

Monday Overdone

December 13, 2010

I don’t want to go off on a rant here… …but for CHRIST’S SAKE THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I usually don’t complain about cold weather.  In fact, when most people complain about it, I’m usually the first one to say that “well, this is Michigan and you’d better get used to it.”  I don’t even dislike [...]

Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday.  I took the day off in order to take the cats to the behavioral veterinarian.  It was well worth the trip, though.  I think we finally have the beginnings of a plan in place that may just work. Having the day off yesterday, I met my parents for [...]

Taylor Swift came on my Pandora this morning and I didn’t immediately hit the thumbs down button.  What am I turning into? Today is primary day in many states, including Michigan.  If it is a voting day where you live, don’t forget to vote.  It’s not only our right, but also our duty. I once [...]

Random Thoughts: The I’ve-Got-A-Paper-Due Variety

July 14, 2010

I’m at work early today, needing to work on my school paper that’s due TONIGHT.  I’m just not awake yet… …so I bought a coffee… …and promptly spilled some of it on my hand and keyboard.  Ugh. Some days I regret getting involved in things.  Yesterday was one of those days. My stomach has been [...]

We had an emergency at The House yesterday.  The Mister, as he was getting ready to leave to catch a plane for a work trip, smelled gas in our house.  Unable to stay, he called me home and I left work.  Thankfully the leak was found and fixed, thanks to Dad.  It was one of [...]
