Running to {My} Death

December 30, 2012
Couch to 5k

It’s no secret that I hate running. If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, it’s clearly obvious. But, the truth of the matter is, I don’t just hate it – I LOATHE it. And it truly, sincerely baffles my mind when I read a tweet from one of my tweeps which talks [...]

How to Lie to Your Boss’ Face

August 2, 2012
Liar Liar Pants on Fire!

My employer is on the up & up with new technology. I mean, sure, we don’t use iMacs & the system often freezes, but in the grand scheme of things, at least we *have* a system – our own system, our own software. We employ a large group of programmers (read: Indians) who are constantly [...]

Why I Will NEVER Own a Nissan

July 10, 2012
Nissan Altima

Prologue: First off, I am Polish. Which means I typically lack good common sense. Although perhaps my Polish heritage is irrelevant here. But nevertheless, yes, I am Polish. Also, I don’t like to drive. And I definitely don’t like complicated vehicles. So, a car that simply stops and goes when I push the respective pedals [...]

The World’s Most Expensive Toothbrush

February 16, 2012
Toothbrush

Yesterday, I had a dentist appointment. A cleaning plus a repair of 3 fillings. Luckily, I’m one of those people that do *not* have an irrational fear of the dentist. Don’t get me wrong: needles are not my friends. But I’ve jabbed enough of them into other people’s arteries over the years that I don’t [...]

Black Mountain

Let’s start from the beginning. Last night, my husband had just arrived home from work & I was getting ready to start dinner when his phone started ringing off the hook. He took a call, hung up, and said, “Problem at work. Do you want to go with me for the drive?” And I obliged. [...]

January 11, 2012

Since I’ve been trying to find a job for the past five months now (unsuccessfully), I’ve been getting tons of experience in filling out applications, updating my resumé and cover letter, and reading articles with titles like “Top Ten Words to Keep Off Your Resumé,” “How to Write an Impressive Cover Letter,” & “What Not [...]

someecards.com - I feel better knowing Santa will also be unemployed after Christmas

After my last post, y’all probably think I’m totally in the Christmas spirit this year. Well, that’s not completely true. Yes, we have had the Christmas tree up for a week now & it has survived wtihout too much trauma. Praise Jesus. And yes, we also have all our Christmas decor up and a big [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
