How is it that January dragged on forever, while February seems to have flown right by? Of course February is the shortest month, but still, it hardly seems possible that next week will already be March! For some reason, this depresses me.

I have felt so run-down and exhausted this week (Sara has a cold and is trying her best to give it to me), but ( Read more... )

I haven't blogged in a while because there hasn't been much worth blogging about. I seem to have fallen into a rut this week. I had a failed job interview on Wednesday morning, and on Tuesday morning, Sable shit all over the floor. I cleaned it up, and to combat the lingering smell, I threw open all our windows and that night, I sauteed an onion ( Read more... )

Any guesses as to what Rebecca has in her kitchen cabinet right now? Eight cans of green beans, three cans of cream of mushroom soup, two jumbo-sized cans of French-fried onions, a small mountain of pecans waiting to be shelled, a make-your-own gingerbread house kit, and... a partridge in a pear tree. Sorry, I couldn't resist. I still crack up when ( Read more... )

My sleeping schedule has been so messed-up lately that I think it might have gone around the clock back to normal. I took a nap yesterday afternoon after I got home from work (think I had a dream about NCIS) and woke up again around seven to go to the movies with Sara and Adam. We saw Paranormal Activity 2, and it was better than the first one - a ( Read more... )

Things I did today: washed Sable's beds, did my laundry, washed the dishes, gave Sable a bath, vacuumed, made the bed, folded Sara's clothes, and wrote out checks for the bills. So my weekend wasn't a complete waste after all, and now our apartment is sparkling clean! Sable was mad at me because he hates being clean, but I gave him some old pork ( Read more... )

I almost went beserk on Monday morning when I'd thought I'd lost my iPod (which I've had for about two years now). I left it in the bathroom at work on Sunday evening, so I was at the store the minute we opened on Monday to search for it... only to discover that it wasn't where I was so sure I'd left it. I ranted and raved for a while, thinking a ( Read more... )

The new girl at work, the one I complained about in my last entry, is gone for good. I practically jumped for joy when my manager told me she was leaving. Words can't say how creepy she was or how uncomfortable she made me. She followed me around, told me all her personal business and asked me about mine (I never answered), and told other employees ( Read more... )

( Last year, if I remember correctly, I was thankful that my classes for the next day got cancelled.)

I've been meaning to post for a while, but I've had a busy week.

On Sunday, we finally got a couch! My aunt and uncle in a neighboring town had a couch that belonged to the aunt who died in 2004. They decided they no longer wanted it, so on Sunday ( Read more... )

Lately I've been flipping through the "Make & Do" volume of our old Childcraft Library. I just love our Childcraft books, especially that one. (Although my favorite has always been the "Poems & Rhymes" volume, which I can't find! Dammit!) The illustrations in it are so awesomely retro, like something you would see in a Dick and Jane book. But ( Read more... )

I got home from work today to find that a bag of Cheeto’s had magically appeared in the cabinet. Mom bought them, but for a few seconds, I swear I was convinced that I’d gotten them there purely by wishing, because ever since I ate two bags in two days last weekend, pretty much my only thought has been, Damnnit I want some more Cheeto’s. They might ( Read more... )
