Nothing new here...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Nothing new going on around here! Just school, work, school, school, work, work, and destroying the occasional dinner and feeding it to Randy anyway. Hopefully I will have some good stories in the near future.

Oh, and for you bibliophiles out there with a little extra time on your hands... I found this website: Daily Lit it is a site that will send you pieces of a book at your convenience. And it's FREE! I subscribed to Wind in the Willows... and I'm already three days behind! Dang!

Another Reason to Hate Bank of America...

Christmas is comin'...

Probably not this year... but I think a Bulga Handbag is a great way to say, "thanks for being my wife!" or even, "thanks for doing the dishes this month" but somehow I suspect that I'm the only one thinking that!

Oh... and by the way...

I have been blogging for an entire year!
Happy Blog-Anniversary to me!
.
And thanks for all the blog-love.
.
After one year online, I have posted 165 blog entries and received over 2800 hits with over 5700 page views! Not too shabby!

I had thought about doing a "first year re-cap" but seriously... it seemed a little pathetic to do an entire tribute to myself (ok, actually I just didn't have the time!)

But if you'd like to re-read a few of my favorites... well, here they are!

The time Randy made hard apple cider or the time I told a Marine he was getting a sex change operation. I think we all loved Camel Toe
and my Muffin Top and the time I pissed of the computer geeks, but my absolute favorite is the time I ate a dead lady's cookies and brought in the fire department!
.
Can't wait to see what another year of blogging brings!

Retirement Savings Calculator

I just googled the words "retirement savings calculator" for the first time in my life.
.
I am officially old.
.
According to my internet calculator, I need to have $1.4 million by the time I'm 65.
.
I wonder how much I could sell Randy for?

The Race

I accept that sometimes people don't get my sense of humor. Occasionally I have been known to make a joke that was hysterically funny to me and, unfortunately, only me.

.

Case in point: Today, I was walking from my car to my front door and the neighbor's kid ran right past me like a burst of wind while hollering something about being the "winner". He is one of those goofy (borderline pathetic) kids who has a very vivid imagination (usually because no other kid will play with him) and creates all sorts of scenarios in his "world". Today he was racing his mom to their truck. She, however, was not participating. She was carrying a very big box and trying not to trip over anything. As she passed me, I pointed out that she was about to lose the "race".

.

Mom: "I just don't think he realizes that I can't run while carrying all of this stuff!"

.

Me: "Well, I'm not above knocking him over and letting you run for it. It's never too early to teach kids this kind of thing.

.

Mom: she didn't really say anything. I think her look was one of disgust and pity for my future children.

.

Whatever. I'm funny. (and no, that is not the kid, it's just a pic I found online of some geeky kid!)

I'm in love!

With a scarf!

How beautiful is this?
