Michael had a hot date with Erica. I arrived at 8:30 and shot straight downstairs to give them some privacy ( Read more... )

Yesterday was rough, but it ended on a good note. My pills were ready! And they were the potent non-crumbly kind! ::: boggle ::: Worth their weight in gold. Slow traffic, lots of accidents, but I have pills! (I'm a horrible person ( Read more... )

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS (DOTW EDITION 2016)

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the group
The only creature stirring was Ursula with her hoop
The votes being tallied by Alistair with care.
In the hopes that Sandi or Garrett's new banner soon would be there
The Boswells, Carrie and Chuck snug in their bed
Hoping the Egg Nog won't mess ( Read more... )

A household of college age dudes across the street had one of the most clean-challenged homes I've ever seen. One day one of them decided to clean house. I went over to see how it was going. Stepping over a stack of spears and miscellaneous Implements of Violence, I glanced at the stack of X-Men comics in the corner, atop of which a hamster was ( Read more... )

Seriously, this post will not be entertaining ( Read more... )

Lyria: It's not gonna happen this year because I am sick, tired and broke, but next year I am throwing a Krampus party and I will have an epic Krampus costume. Mark your calendars and start planning your outfit now.

It was nice to see friends, but the whole ( Read more... )

At around 11PM-ish last Saturday I began composing a dreary three-paragraph Opus of Regret to much missed friends regarding homecoming weekend. Exchanging Facebook fuzzies had strengthened our ties and the pull was strong this year. Mom had also unleashed her guilt-fu regarding my failure to visit my new niece and cousin. OK. Ya got me.  To lessen ( Read more... )

Great night at L&B's with loads of brilliant people that we don't see often enough. The food was RIDICULOUS. Crazy delicious stuffing, brandied chocolate pecan pie, incredible peanut butter pie, homemade chocolate orange swirl birthday cake, tons of great stuff that there was simply no room to try. I didn't even bother trying the turkey and ham. I ( Read more... )

I’ve decided that it’s a good idea put in at least two days at the office even on a holiday week. Spent Monday at home tweaking about the upheaval and not getting much done. On Tuesday I compared notes with the AP and Payroll managers on the recent departmental upheaval. They think that the new subdivisions are odd. I agree, but I think the pointy ( Read more... )
