Home again, jiggity jog.

We’re home from Granny’s. A good time was mostly had by all. We did have a few hairy moments to start with – Joe “made strange” to her and had to thaw out, and the trip home was a genuine beeyotch (boys were tired and ready to get out of the car).

Highlight [...]

On the road again…..

We’re going to Granny’s for the weekend. Get out of the job hunting stress for a while, sit in a rocking chair and crochet. All weekend long.

Yeah, I’m a real thrill-seeker.

Product Review: JBz Chocolate Candies

Holly did a wonderful thing – she sent me the 20 flavor sampler box of JBz for Valentine’s Day. Since it combines my all-time favorite snacks (Jelly Belly flavors with chocolate centers), I was ecstatic. Unfortunately, not all Jelly Belly flavors combine well with chocolate. The flavors do best when you chomp down, mixing [...]

When it rains, it pours. Right?

Fortunately, this fiasco only took 2 days to fix.

The pump in our well went out. It’s only been in there for 20 years or so with -0- maintenance – I can’t understand how it could POSSIBLY have developed problems.

ahem

Dad got it fixed shortly AFTER I got back from my [...]

Complicated feelings

It’s BECAUSE I like you that I don’t want to spend time with you…

With those words of wisdom, Marlin the Clownfish (Finding Nemo) pretty well sums up my feelings for my son Daniel.

I love him to distraction.

He makes me crazy.

He reminds me so much of his Dad that my heart [...]

And all was quiet in job-huntingland

I’ve submitted my resume to 3 temp companies, 10 jobs, and phoned 2 to verify that the resume was received etc.

I’ve have -0- responses yet.

When do I hit the “ohshit” button?

On Job Searching

Employers, there are certain things I look for in an ad. Likewise, there are things that I immediatly take a “pass” on:

A phrase like “we are the rock stars of our industry” is certain to get a negative reaction.

Having a hotmail address? Yeah THAT’S going to make me apply. Even *I* [...]

Valentines Recapped.

Alannah was the “waitress” for Mom and Dad. She set the kitchen up, lit the candles, and then served them the soup Mom had cooked and the brownies she’d made.

After their “catered” dinner was through, Alannah sent Joe toddling to the kitchen with a valentine’s card that she had made and had all [...]

VD sucks.

The reminders start early and last for WEEKS on END! telling you that this is THE most romantic VD ever. They would have you think that nothing says “I love you” like a preprinted card and a box of chocolates that have been sitting on the shelf for aeons. OH! And how can we [...]
