This is ridiculous
I know I haven't posted in forever and I know this is a stupid gripe and probably not worthy of my first post in, what, a year?
But. This is fucking ridiculous:
I have a bill to pay for the blood work from my annual physical last year. The date of service is 11/13/2010. My insurance finally coughed up their portion on (approximately) 7/5/2011. My ( Read more... ) -
I'm still here... sort of
I'm alive. I'm married. Life is pretty good. We got a new puppy who is adorable but also very chompy. We named her Stella. House is good, new job is distinctly tolerable (HUGE improvement! - oh yah, I got the job, I probably failed to mention that, didn't I...), marriage is good, Joe is good, other than a brief blindness scare, horse is, well, as ( Read more... ) -
The government is making you fat
The US government subsidizes US corn production, keeping the price of corn artificially low and causing high fructose corn syrup to be a cheaper sweetener than sugar. Subsequently, high fructose corn syrup is put in dang near everything you eat.
A recent study on high fructose corn syrup published by Princeton University shows that rats fed high ( Read more... ) -
Dilemma
We have a pet owner's/home owner's dilemma: Our back door neighbors (well, sort of: no one is directly behind us, but we're near the corner, so these people's back property line is the same as our side property line. The point is that we can easily see into their back yard from ours and vice versa.) have three very unfriendly, loud dogs who love ( Read more... ) -
Painting is (almost) completely done!!
Yay! This week, we finished the vast majority of the painting: three bedrooms, a bathroom, and touching up another bathroom and several other rooms and hallways. They look soooooooooooooooooo much better. I would love to post before and after pictures so you can see the difference... but, as usually happens, I'll probably never get around to it.

house
If I ever find the moron who painted my house, I will personally string them up by their toenails and smack them once with a wet paintbrush for each stupid mistake they made. ...it'll take a while. (Seriously. How hard is it not to paint the ceiling? Or to wait for the first color to dry before painting an adjoining wall a different color so they ( Read more... ) -
Hehehe!

*snerk*
Puppy likes raw onions! Like, the kind that make your eyes stream with pain! I gave him a piece assuming he'd spat it out and make funny faces, but after one sniff, he eagerly munched it down and came back for more!
Now Puppy has onion breath. I'm amused. -
Best puppy evar
I love how insanely tolerant Dewey is. Joe's mom got him a pumpkin Halloween costume that goes on like a jacket and velcros up the front, and I tried it on him this morning. I had him come over and sit, and I put it around him and stuffed his front legs through the holes. Then I flopped him over on his side so I could easily velcro all the closures ( Read more... )
