I feel like I've posted one before on laundry, which is sort of a "Am I turning into my mother?" moment.  Maybe I am.   Patty is a wonderful little soul, with this incredible- almost primal- sense of logical thinking.  I call her Practical Patty in times of brilliance.  She's got an amazing grasp of spacial dimensions.  I let her organize my ( Read more... )

Things are good in the World of Erin Kelly.   I began working at an insurance broker about a month ago, and I enjoy it quite a bit.  I'm pretty sure insurance isn't the way I'd want to go insofar as a career, but it has its perks (aka kick-ass benefits package for me!) and I'm working among some good persons.  What I particularly enjoy is that my ( Read more... )

I figured I'd throw a general life-update out there... I started working at a veterinary hospital part-time, which I adore.   I'm 89% sure I'm going to go back to school to get my Master's in Education.   I have no money and continue to not love living at home but it's all I can afford at the moment.   I'm happily stumbling along the road with ( Read more... )

Haven't really posted anything of substance in a while, mostly because I've been kind of on-the-go for the past three weeks.   I started working as a waitress, and was promoted to manager.   It's pretty exhausting, but I don't mind it as much as I minded the receptionist job, honestly.   So far I have Sunday/Monday's off, but I'm hoping to tack on ( Read more... )

I plan on being skinny forever.    So far, my other plan of drinking in excess and eating crazy munchies hasn't interfered much with the skinny plan.   So far, so good.

Well I never said I wouldn't
Throw my jacket in the mud for you
but my father gave it to me so
maybe I should carry you

For those of you who aren't in "the know" (wherever that is), I drive a 2000 Chryster Grand Voyager Minivan, silver.  I refer to her in many different terms of ranging endearment, the most common being "The Mothership."  However, I've also called her the Silver Bullet, Big Gray Barn, and Piece of Crap.  This vehicle, in less than a year, has cost ( Read more... )

I would like to remember that today, I saw a man stand in 30°F weather by the bay, flailing his arms around his body.   I, in the interest of my own entertainment, put on some of Spoon's best album, Gimme Fiction.  He actual swung his arms in time with the music, which I knew he couldn't hear, but it gave me a very nice feeling of "connectedness ( Read more... )

Lots of things clunking around in the ol' brain lately.

#1.   I like my job.   I'm working as a receptionist at an architectural firm (not the one that I worked at two summers ago, though).  I can't help thinking I'm a "Pam."   But then, Pam is pretty kick-ass and she found  Jim.   I don't think I'll find a Jim at this place, though.  That's okay ( Read more... )
