The Truth Hurts

This will be brief but I have to let it out since it’s gotten so annoying. I’m tired off all the articles bewailing England’s fall in South Africa. I don’t want to hear anything more about that missed goal as if that would have turned the entire game around. I don’t want to hear the [...]

The Joys of Homeownership

When I heard the sound of water dripping, I thought it was the sink. My kitchen faucet is old and disgusting and it drips a drop here and there. It’s audible when I’ve been too lazy to wash the dishes from dinner that night. That’s what I thought it was. But then I looked up [...]

The Madness Over Tipping

If I had the original link, I would post it but this is a blog I’ve been reading lately so I’ll be lazy and post the repost. The beginning of the article seems obvious but then gets more ridiculous as it gets closer to the end. While I’m not an undertipper at restaurants and salons [...]

The Rules

Sometimes I wonder if I just grew up in a weird place, but I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. I will be hosting a Spring Fling this coming weekend and have had some things pop up that I thought were common knowledge. It’s inspired me to write down what I [...]

Mind Your Own Business

Yesterday, I was at the market getting new spring produce since I’m tired of eating sweet potatoes and kale. Excited with the coming season, I had picked up some ramps and strawberries and spring onions. I was hunched over the mushroom basket taking my pick of the newest morels. I only wanted a few, for [...]

This Stays Anonymous

Whilst looking at a colleague’s blog today that featured her crafts etc, I let slip that I also maintained a blog. But no, I can’t give out the URL. So that was a cop out and I’m sorry I said anything at all, but I’m not willing to get fired if this place should be [...]

The Saddest Article In the Newspaper Today

With all forgiveness to earthquake victims and obit survivors, the article in the NTY today about More Men Marrying Wealthier Women was the saddest of all. Don’t let the title throw you off, it’s not about men seeking out rich women to marry. Take this snippet: Ms. Zielinski, the fashion stylist, said her best friend, [...]

My List

Before my eyeballs burn to smithereens from sitting in front of the computer all day, I am making a list of annoying things for the week: I have the distinct feeling that I’m writing crap. I’m moving along with plot, but the word choice and the sheer musicality of language is suffering. I also wish [...]

The Health Care Debate

Not long ago, a friend asked me what I, a health care professional, thought of the raging debate on health care reform. I’ve been silent on it both because I’m so busy that I usually avoid anything having to do with work on my days off and because so much was being said and shouted. [...]

I Hate Women

Why do they have to talk behind your back? Why can’t they have a normal conversation about a disagreement? Why is disagreeing with someone considered anathema? Why do we have to pretend we can all just get along in the next breath go rat someone out? You know what disagreement is? It’s normal, critical, and [...]

No One Thinks Your Kids Are Cute But You

I had to comment on this, but couldn’t do it on the website since it would be a little bit of a low blow. No one else has commented, though, and the silence is deafening. I also don’t have the heart to click through to the woman’s blog. When it comes to exploiting children for [...]

Persistent Renewals

I got a notice from National Geographic some days ago urging me to renew my magazine subscription. I intend to keep renewing it so I put in next to my keyboard in the pile of Things To Deal With once I have a second away from the mess my life is. I was at the [...]
