In what will probably turn out to be a legendarily stupid move, I am drinking several glasses of whiskey in a "last rites" sort of scenario before I start a new round of medication that will hopefully turn my life around. OK, not exactly like that, but at least I hope it will help me to stop feeling like I'm walking around with weights on my brain ( Read more... )

I just finished Mindy Kaling's book Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?  (And Other Concerns) and am pretty much convinced we were born of the same embryo but somehow got separated at birth, but something tells me that our varied ethnic backgrounds might ground that rumor.  Still, though, I feel like she is my slightly more ambitious non-romantic ( Read more... )

It seems like it's been forever since I've really updated on here. I've thought about a lot of things I've wanted to talk about but the issue for me is being too lazy and/or busy to take the time to come on here and write about it anymore ( Read more... )

Have you ever had so much caffeine that you have trouble focusing on anything at all? My hands are shaking and I feel like I just want to run around the building, or something. I can't even focus on the computer screen for minutes at a time here and there.

Also: this comic made me laugh so hard, I cried. I can't even look at it again because ( Read more... )

I haven't written on here in forever. It seems like I barely have time to sit down and relax, let alone write stuff on here. I've been going into the office a lot lately, which can be up to a two-hour drive in traffic, so it's given me a lot of time to think and brood about things, but not a ton of time to accomplish things besides work. I was ( Read more... )

Finally, crap isn't so awful around here for once. The storm isn't over (after all, I have to go into work tomorrow and am currently ignoring several huge piles of paperwork I need to organize, collate and tally, etc., etc.) but honestly, I DON'T CARE right now ( Read more... )

Trying not to get too crazy yet. The strike at husband's work started; it's actually a strike of all operating engineers and laborers in the Chicagoland area. I've also been told the carpenters are going on strike, too. Hopefully the strike will not last too long because the owners told everyone that they're being forced to take their vacation ( Read more... )

It was one of those mornings that started off wrong and went from there. Like watching my son purposely pour 1/4 bottle of water directly onto my leather couch. Right in front of me. I felt like, "Really? REALLY?" So many moments in my life now where I wonder what in BLAZES could have possessed my child to do the thing he just did. And they ( Read more... )

Drunk people annoy me sometimes. Especially when I am not particularly drunk. This annoyance was much more common when I was pregnant, and therefore, not drinking at all, but came out once again tonight when I went out for a work event and spent the night surrounded by drunk idiots. This happens a lot when the owner[s] of our company sponsors an ( Read more... )

I think one of the best and worst things about when I used to shop at Whole Foods was that I very rarely came across a food item that was really, really weird. I mean, there was weird stuff in the way that organic, crunchy people food can be considered weird, like goat milk yogurt and seitan, but nothing too off the charts, IMO (to clarify: ( Read more... )
