Well, it’s the holidays, and it’s less than a week till Christmas, and about a week and a half until New Year’s Eve. If you haven’t already stocked up, wine and champagne are both fun party accessories and great gifts. Plus, lots of folks like to have champagne to toast at midnight on New Year’s…
Ultimate Inspiration
It’s FRRIDAAAAYYYY! Woo hoo! Break out the streamers and party hats. The week is over! (Well, in two or so hours.) Perhaps you’re not as lucky as me to get two straight weeks off from work, and you’re struggling for motivation to get through the holidays. Look no further! I present to you, courtesy of…
Feeling Lost Lately
So I’ve been feeling kind of lost lately. I have been leaving this blog high and dry and I don’t mean to not keep up with it. I’ll probably be blogging a lot more during the holiday break, I’ll have about two straight weeks off of work, which I’ll probably be spending at my Mom’s…
Combo Breaker: Update
So I’ve neglected to write here for a while, primarily because I’ve been living life instead of blogging it (well, that’s not entirely true) – and partly because I have been experiencing a lot of stuff lately that I don’t want to post publically where just anyone can read it. I would do protected posts,…
Samuel Jackson / Mario Van Peebles 2012!
So, last night Barack Hussein Obama completely pwned John McCain in the United States of America Presidential Election. Everyone is talking about how great it is that it took our country 220+ years to get over racial barriers and elect an African-American to the Oval Office. I think it’s a great milestone, to be sure,…
Halloween ’08
Last night was a pretty good Halloween! Better than a lot I’ve had in the past. My friends & neighbors the Ellersicks hosted their annual party, and I was happy it was planned and I was invited before the IT folks got together and got out their invite. The IT crowd’s party is usually pretty…
Save Family Stories with Dragon Naturally Speaking
I don’t know if you’ve tried Dragon Naturally Speaking before – it’s come a long way since it’s inception. It used to be that you’d have to train it and retrain it and then you’d finally get a semi-working program. But by the time you got it working right, you could have just typed it…
Grandma’s Getting Married!
A lot of posts today, I know, but lots of important news and things to share, thoughts on my mind. An important couple of things: Mom went on a date last Friday night. I was slightly weirded out, but I’m okay. Apparently he was a gentleman and treated her well. My grandma (my deceased father’s…
No Costume, DIY Skills, or Time?
Halloween is coming up on us, it’s just this Friday! You have 4 days and counting left to make sure you have secured yourself some sort of Halloween candy. Whether you’re going out on the town, going trick-or-treating with little ones, or staying at home and giving out candy, it’s always fun to dress up…
My New Car Needs a Name
Thursday night after work I rolled out to a car dealership because some ad I got with a scratch-off number said I’d won something. They wouldn’t tell me what it was over the phone. I went out, and they made me sit through a spiel about my current car and what kind of other cars…
