    Cold. There’s really not much else to say about today. Well, there’s always something, but that’s the main thing.    It’s cold. It’s like in the upper 20s. It’s the first day the snow is sticking. That beautiful white fluffy stuff that inspires Christmas carols, serial killers, and snow days.    It’s a pretty versatile Read more

    It didn’t really dawn on me until today how much I should actually be grateful and thankful for what I have. First, I have a family who loves me and I love in return. Sure, we have our ups and downs, but when the crap hits the fan, they are there waiting.   No questions asked Read more

  • 11/22

    The last two days have been kind of odd. On Tuesday, the little sister and I went to Bloomington for the sole purpose of checking out Culvers.  This store was offered to her, but she didn’t want to have to travel that far every day.  So, she ended up training the management team. It was Read more

  • 11/15

    For some reason, I decided to stay home today. No gym, no silly game – nothing. My decision might possibly be based on the ice coating the quickly bare tree limbs.  The power was out from about one am going forward till about ten.  I really, really, really dislike the cold and the aching bones Read more

  • Waiting.. again. Pt 2

    PSA – Daylight Savings starts tomorrow. (11/4) So, as stated last blog, I went out with my sister. We hit the gym.   I got two solid hours of the elliptical and an hour of the stair step in.   I finished watching Bates Motel on Netflix and started in on Sabrina.    I think I’m two Read more

  • Waiting

    I think I have a natural allergy to waiting. Right now, I’m waiting for my sister to wake up so we can go to the gym and she spoils me with lunch at Chilis (or Applebees or Montana Mikes or Texas Roadhouse) and Starbucks. But, she worked late last night and have never exactly been Read more

  • This is Halloween!

    Can that sentence even be used without evoking a Tim Burton copyright? The Nightmare Before Christmas is practically woven into our culture at this point. Well, today is Halloween. Disclaimer:  In no way is the title of this blog used in conjuncture with Tim Burton’s properties in any way, shape, or form. Since mom and Read more

  • Scary

    I had a little epiphany when I was in the shower last night. If you’re not sure what epiphany means, google it.  It’s not what you think, dirty bird. Anyway, maybe the reason why conventional Hollywood doesn’t provide scares any more is that I’m scarred. Not to brag or anything, think about it.   I went Read more

  • Hi Cupecakecache

    Hi Cupcake! I’ve been meaning to formally introduce myself for weeks, but I haven’t been in the mindset to write or to really do much of anything.  I apologize. Since you’re the only one who has responded to my rabble,  I wanted to reach out. Um…  I’m forty-something years old, unmarried,  and no children.  I Read more

  • Lazy Saturday

    I chose not to go anywhere today. When I woke at 4:30, I had it in my mind to go to the gym, just a I’ve done all week.   The gym doesn’t open till 7am on weekends, so I went back to sleep. I woke at 6. My legs felt achy.  I really don’t know Read more
