Before I get to the comments in more detail, I would like to state for the record that I do not, in any way shape or form, have rock star hair. I have irritating overly thick, overly curly, frizzy frizzy hair. (Which, yes, looks lovely when someone else does it, but I don’t have a […]
Please don’t hate me, but today I went through an 8 items or fewer lane with more than 8 items. Normally I won’t do that, even if I have 9, but I didn’t have many (11), and no one was in the line, and all the other ones had people with full carts and […]

Pi and Shelly both seemed to think this would be an interesting meme, so: based on this blog, what kind of person do you think I am? If you’ve met me, what has surprised you about me?

For use on sitcoms when something is said that’s not funny enough to laugh out loud.” I don’t think […]
It’s my grandmother’s birthday today, and we’re going out for brunch. Friday night, I was told it was at 10:30, about 20 minutes away. Okay! Then today, at 9:15, just pre-shower, when I phone my parents to confirm things, I’m told, no, it’s at 10:00.

Seems Akismet occasionally catches real comments in the moderation queue. I don’t always check. If you post and your comment doesn’t appear within the day, please email me.
