Yesterday morning, we were watching Prison Break Season One when Rob’s mom called to tell us to come to the hospital right away if he wanted to say goodbye to his grandmother. Rob wrapped a bandanna around his head and we rushed right over. Rob’s sister was holding one of Grandma’s hands, his mother wasContinue reading “The inlaw equivalents”

Palpitate
I have more trouble with “all-natural” “homeopathic” type remedies I impulse buy than with drugs that are actually prescribed to me by professionals. Maybe I should see a naturopath, instead of concocting my own remedies. A year or so ago, I read about MSM and thought it would be the miracle cure for my TMJ.Continue reading “Palpitate”
You can’t get there from here
Good thing I happened to put a map of the county in my car to bring to work (because I want to study the locations of rivers). Too bad I forgot to bring along the cell phone number of the person I was meeting. The road to my meeting was closed, because there was waterContinue reading “You can’t get there from here”

I should specify local reports…the Today Show had me feeling incredibly out of step with America, as I no longer get to vote at a polling place. I voted by mail twoContinue reading “Flood schmud”

I appreciate their dust removal capacity as well as the citrusy smell they leave on my fingers. Aside from that, I don’tContinue reading “Nail Power”

Because I can
I’m wearing sweatpants at work today.
Damage Control
We didn’t get a single trick-or-treater. Granted, we were gone from 6 to 7:45, but we left a bowl out with a “Take one only” sign and it appeared to have gone untouched. We had a massive bag of Butterfingers, Baby Ruths, Laffy Taffys and Nestle Crunch. I’d been limiting myself to the Crunch bars.Continue reading “Damage Control”
Phone phobic
My phone has a counter that tells me how long each call lasts. It surprises me not at all that most are shorter than 5 minutes. I had one today with my boss that lasted 15 minutes. But some of that was silence while he read something. And took another call.
