I went to have the brake fluid checked on the 1st and the guy said that it had to be an error message because the fluid was fine. Stupid car. (I am grateful that it didn't cost me anything though, but still, STUPID CAR ( Read more... )

2013!?...Where did 2012 go?
I never do resolutions for the new year, but for some reason this time I keep feeling like making them. Things to do differently, or just Things To Do at all. Like cooking more, spending less (because, hello? I don't have the $ to spend), and doing stuff for me, myself like getting together with my friends more. I ( Read more... )

We told Jack that the oven wasn't working last Tuesday. I wonder how long it's going to take for him to fix it. Luckily, the broiler and the stove top work, so we can still cook, we just can't bake anything. Of course, that's why I've been craving Toll House cookies all week ( Read more... )

Work has been awful lately. They are changing our routes in a few weeks (making them longer) and we've had about 4 (or is it 5?) significant snowstorms already. Boston has gotten 50 inches of snow so far this winter and we have 2 MONTHS left of winter. Yes, I said 50. That's a lot of snow to trudge through day after day to deliver bills and ( Read more... )

The oven isn't working.

This means I have to tell the landlord, so it can be fixed.

Which means that I have to clean the house.

I don't wanna.

We're having (another) blizzard tomorrow. I've heard reports of 10 to 15 inches. We had a blizzard the day after Christmas and that left us with 18 to 20 inches. A small storm last week left us with about 5 inches, so it's adding up a bit, lol ( Read more... )

Ok, despite the fact that we threw the tree out on Tuesday, all of the Christmas decorations are still out. I was off for the last few days, and thought that I'd get around to doing the stuff that I'm usually too tired to do. I did do some stuff, but I just keep walking around ignoring the Christmas decorations. Ugh ( Read more... )

I just got home from shopping for clothes for *myself* for once. It's amazing how once I had kids, the clothes shopping for me trickled away to nothing and became a chore. I was getting low on shirts and made a note that I was going to go shopping for *me* on my day off, and I finally did it today ( Read more... )

Today I was delivering mail to some mailboxes in a hallway (instead of on the front of the house) and I could smell that someone was cooking. It reminded me of being a kid and smelling supper cooking. What an awesome feeling that is, to be hungry and smell something yummy cooking and feeling warm and cozy ( Read more... )

Happy New Year ( Read more... )
