(To quote Chelsea.) My house is being vacuumed. As I write this. By a robot! It takes a while, as the house is big, but it’s doing its thing. Isis is definitely intrigued, and has licked it a few times, but she doesn’t bark incessantly at it. Rather, she barks sporadically. That I can liveContinue reading “OMFG, a Roomba”

Why Rob’s not so crazy about me
I have an iguana named Stew. Rob is not as fond of Stew as he is Isis. No kisses, no rubs to the belly. He insists Stew is a boy, but I’ve decided she’s definitely a girl. Rob doesn’t even like to touch Stew, who lives in his computer room because it was the bestContinue reading “Why Rob’s not so crazy about me”
Best birthday present ever
My birthday isn’t until tomorrow, but I decided the other day what I was going to buy myself with my birthday money (Thanks, Dad!). A Roomba! It’s going to take some work to make sure Isis isn’t completely traumatized by the thing, which we wouldn’t even need if she could keep her damn fur onContinue reading “Best birthday present ever”
Why Mondays don’t suck
I have a terrible headache and not much to do today, so you’d think I’d have a full-on case of the Mondays. But Monday’s got something going for it that Tues-Thur don’t have. Or rather, Monday doesn’t have something that Tue-Thur do have…and that’s a martial arts class. So on Mondays, when I start countingContinue reading “Why Mondays don’t suck”
Wasted day
There’s nothing more suspicious than calling in sick the day after vacation, so I waited until Tuesday to do it. I was supposed to go fishing (for work), but when my alarm went off at 6, I felt awful. The headache that hit just before bed was still there and my tummy kinda hurt too.Continue reading “Wasted day”
Home again
We decided to drive all the way home last night, making the trip back from So. Cal in two days, sted of three. Got home at about 10:45 and had things sufficiently put away and laundry started by midnight. (which would be a bigger deal if I hadn’t just done laundry on Thursday night atContinue reading “Home again”
Now that’s a Sunday
Rob trotted off this morning to be a fight coordinator on a friend’s movie, so I watched Fight Girls on TiVo, then rolled over on the couch Andy Capp-style and napped til 2 p.m. when Rob called to ask me to come visit him on set. What? And interrupt my busy schedule? Poor Isis sleptContinue reading “Now that’s a Sunday”
CSI: K-9
A few weeks ago, I noticed a rectangular piece of white rubber on the floor. I assumed it came off of something of Rob’s, and didn’t think much else about it even when he said he didn’t know what it was from either. Isis got a hold of the thing and chewed it to bitsContinue reading “CSI: K-9”
Job satisfaction
I really do love my job. Or else I’m a complete geek, and that’s why I find myself tweaking a PageMaker file at 8 p.m. on a Saturday. Yeah, I said PageMaker. We spent two days learning the finer points of InDesign, but we’re doing one more issue in PageMaker, because my codesigner hasn’t gottenContinue reading “Job satisfaction”
Just because you’re obsessive compulsive
…doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go back and check. Isis has gotten so good about going into her crate after our morning play sessions. Might have something to do with the peanut butter ears I stash in her Hide-a-Squirrel and Mystery of the Pyramids toys. I wasn’t even on the freeway yet when I realized thatContinue reading “Just because you’re obsessive compulsive”
