The Snake Lady’s Afternoon Off

Late last week I decided I needed an Afternoon Off. Kind of like Ferris Beuhler’s Day Off only I asked for annual leave from my boss four day’s ahead of time and let hubby know my plans. Y’know, a grown-up version of Ferris Beuhler’s Day Off. My Afternoon Off began with a trip to theContinueContinue reading “The Snake Lady’s Afternoon Off”

5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me

I can’t even hum on key. Add actual notes and its a pure-dee lost cause. It was a concern to me in my younger days vis a vis becoming a nun, seeings how they tend to sing quite a bit. I asked my mother what nuns who can’t sing do and she said they justContinueContinue reading “5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me”

What I’m Listening To

I have recently developed an aversion to all music I have previously heard. Yes, you read that correctly. If the music is familiar to me I fairly break out in hives turning it off.

To compensate, IContinueContinue reading “Me & Bill (Gates)”

My Long and Profitable History Anthropomorphizing Bathrooms

You may think that my glee over having three bathrooms and purchasing veritable window treatments for them is odd. You may even think it started recently. You would be incorrect. When I was in college, I lived for a year in a student co-op (over time I worked for the co-ops, helped found a co-op,ContinueContinue reading “My Long and Profitable History Anthropomorphizing Bathrooms”

Accomplishment Day 5

My accomplishment today was realizing that I look like crap. I left off the vicodin last night in preparation for driving safely to my doctor’s office this morning – my first time behind the wheel in 6 days. I dressed successfully in the sweat clothes I slept in last night, put my hair in theContinueContinue reading “Accomplishment Day 5”
