Some of you may already know this, but soon after we moved to Austin, we adopted two kittens. They were only 4 months old at the time. Several months later, for our first Christmas in Texas, we put up our pre-lit Christmas tree. Well, actually, we *attempted* to put it up. And our kittens thought [...]

For Thanksgiving, Z and I had originally decided we were going to have dinner at one of the many buffets on the strip. You know, since we couldn’t afford to fly home this year to be with family. But, in the end, we were invited to a “Straggler’s Thanksgiving Party” – for those couples that [...]

Z and I didn’t have to make Thanksgiving dinner this year. I’ll get into why that was in my next post. But since our oven wasn’t in overdrive all day, I thought it would be a nice special treat to make breakfast for my husband. You see, I hardly ever, ever make breakfast. And I [...]

Why You Should Just Let Dead Bears Lie …

November 18, 2011
Roarrr

This very week last year, Z was in the throes of bear-hunting. It was the week before Thanksgiving, and Z flew back home a little early (for the holiday) to spend some freezing-cold time outdoors with his friends. Before he left, I told him, “Have fun! Don’t shoot each other! And, also, don’t shoot a [...]

The Case of the Missing Laptop

November 16, 2011

Did I ever tell you about the time my husband’s laptop was stolen by a very well-known international courier? No, I don’t think I did. Why am I going to tell you this now? Well, quite frankly, I have nothing else to blog about. What with having no kids, no job, no life and all. [...]

Black Clouds Are My Friends

November 11, 2011
What a dumbass!

I do my best to not bitch-blog about every event that goes wrong in my life. Cuz nobody likes to read continual pity parties. Well, at least I don’t. But occasional pity parties are okay, right? Good! Cuz I’ve got one. So, behind the scenes of this blog, I’ve been trying to go back to [...]

Z has been working on a pretty huge work project lately. Actually, this project was the reason he was hired. It’s taken six months to get off the ground and in reality has been a project-in-the-making for the six months before he was hired. So, yeah, it’s taken a whole year, and the truth of [...]

Excuses, Excuses

I love it when hard decisions are made for you. Well, for me, I mean. See, I’ve been having a devil of a time finding employment. The calls – well, they’re just not coming in. Not even one. Even though I’ve applied for a thousand different jobs. Okay, not quite a thousand. Not even a [...]

You Can’t Take Me Anywhere

Endangered Species

I always make such wonderful first impressions. Last night was no exception. My husband and I went to a birthday party. The party, held at a Las Vegas club, was for my husband’s co-worker. Since I’m new to the city and all, I relish getting the chance to meet new people. And if you throw [...]

But For the Grace of Not Having a Period Go I

November 4, 2011

Yesterday was a bad day. And, no, it has absolutely nothing to do with menstrual cycles. Or pregnancies. Or anything like that. Cuz I don’t blog about that kind of stuff. I only bitch about it on Twitter. As I was saying, yesterday was a bad day. First of all, I didn’t win the lottery [...]
