For anyone who has ever done MK, you understand “warm chatter”… Talk to anybody for any reason to sell anything. It’s kind of like Russian Roulette with a makeup bag. I, for one, hated it, absolutely hated it, so my director kept telling me it was good for me to do it, to get out [...]

Liar, liar
We were supposed to have snow yesterday. No snow. But our wind chill as of right now (6:37 a.m.) is -4. I’m glad all I have to do right now is go to bed. I’m kind of bummed about the snow though…

the old age bus hit me this week
I knew it for sure when I received 3 different mails soliciting disability, long-term insurance, and a prepaid funeral plan. Thanks.

Grrrrrr…
Anybody who knows me knows I usually don’t just sit back and relax when I’m annoyed with someone – and I’m really annoyed with my sister-in-law and my mother-in-law at the moment. Thanksgiving was good, I’m glad it turned out the way it did, but my SIL and I share swapping Thanksgiving and Christmas every [...]

Happy Birthday Twinnies
The real twinnies – not Butera and Jadlowski (inside joke).
Adam and Sarah are 12! We went over to Mel and Dan’s for ice cream cake – yum. It was wonderful, so great that the filling hurt my teeth, bring on the chocolate sistah! I can hardly believe that it was 12 years ago I made [...]

Black Friday
I don’t get this whole frenzied shopping thing today. About 35 years ago (yikes) I used to work at First Data – you know, the company that processes credit card sales. It used to be clerks had to call in to get an actual authorization code, it wasn’t done electronically. (Woo hoo, I’m feeling older [...]

Thanksgiving
I hope everyone had a chance to give thanks today and spend a little time with their loved ones. For the first time in 19 years I actually got to spend Thanksgiving with my famiily. Dad came over with a dump salad that Pam had made (yummy – must ask her for the recipe). Missy and [...]

Who would steal the sweet potatoes?
I’m losing my marbles, I swear. No comments from the peanut galley.
I went to the store yesterday and bought everything I needed for dinner tomorrow and tonight I took a break to make the sweet potator casserole and – no sweet potatoes. I distinctly remember buying them because, 1. I hate/despite/loathe sweet potatoes and it [...]

I’ve got that holiday feeling…
Depression, that is. I always get depressed at Christmas. I think it has a lot to do with my grandma passing away on December 10 – nearly 16 years ago. I can hardly believe that. It seems like just yesterday and I still can’t stand to see poinsettias. They just about physically make me ill. [...]
