#$%^&*! STRESS

November 12, 2011

Do you ever had those days where you get so stressed out that you just shut down? I had one of those days today. I had a really stressful situation late this morning and after dealing with the situation, I was pretty much done for the day. I’m one of those people who does very [...]

Three wishes for 11/11/11

November 11, 2011

When I was in high school my friend Kara always made a wish whenever she saw 11:11 on the clock. I reminded her of this yesterday and she told me she still does. The reason I was thinking about this yesterday was because I saw today’s writing prompt for NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), which encouraged participants [...]

The return of layaway

November 10, 2011

Layaway is a concept that a lot of younger people are not familiar with. When credit cards became popular, layaway programs started to disappear until they had become extinct.

The return of internet

November 8, 2011

Dear Internet Access, I’m so glad that you have returned. I can’t tell you how much I missed you. It is quite difficult to do everything that needs to be done on a smart phone. Have you ever tried to review excel files received via email from a tiny screen? Of course not! I promise [...]

We are not our mothers

November 7, 2011

I honestly don’t know how our mothers did it. Today, my mother-in-law called to tell us she was coming over to visit. I immediately panicked. Both of our mothers keep immaculate homes. Apparently this trait skipped a generation because Jeff and I are terrible housekeepers. We started running around the house like lunatics trying to [...]

I didn’t take the discount

November 6, 2011

This morning Jeff and I went out for breakfast. We like to support local restaurants and many of them are hurting after losing power due to the freak storm we had last Saturday. Some of these restaurants lost almost a week of business plus most if not all of their inventory. It has been a [...]

Back at home

November 4, 2011

I’m updating my blog tonight from my cell phone using the WordPress app (which I must say is pretty freakin’ cool) because our internet is out.  Today was a pretty crazy day. I spent the morning looking for a chainsaw (I know, silly huh?). Then I called my mother-in-law to see if Jeff’s sister and [...]
