breaking me

Last night I went to Publix to get some breakfast and lunch items for the week.  Imagine how far my jaw dropped when I walked out with 3 bags after paying $86!  Ok, so there were also 3 12-packs of … Continue reading

cupcakes and canvas

Last night I pulled out my Living Social voucher for Cocktails and Canvas and hit up their cupcake night.  It was a no-brainer to pick this night when I saw that the painting was a cupcake and when I read … Continue reading

half way

My thoughts right now are with The Canadian.  She’s 29 weeks pregnant with my new niece and nephew and has been admitted to the hospital for being dilated and having contractions.  It’s times like these that I wish I were … Continue reading

funny ass shit

I bought these from zazzle for me and The Astrologer: She laughed so hard when she saw them stuck on the outside of her door.  I thought she was going to cry.  They’re magnets, bt-dubs.  I also got a tshirt.  … Continue reading

little things

I didn’t realize The Hunger Games was a teen book.  I don’t care how good it is, I wouldn’t have gotten it.  I still expect I’ll like it, but it was a major disappointment when I read Keyalus’ comment yesterday … Continue reading

stories

I have never been in a book club, which is surprising to me as much as I love to read.  I’ve considered it over the years but one of two things always happens:  1) the books the club is choosing … Continue reading

not so much

Wow, what a dud.  The date, the dude.  I don’t think I’ve been on such a boring, going-nowhere, lame date in ages.  Hell, I wouldn’t even call it a date for many reasons.  Including, but not limited to, the following: … Continue reading

Look what I got in the mail today: Thanks, Groupon, for the Barnes & Noble deals!  I got a couple other books, too, but they came in a separate shipment so they aren’t seen here. I’m starting to get a … Continue reading

bye bye blackberry

My new toy: I HATE it.  It is very likely going to be traded for an iPad instead.  I just can’t do the touch screen when I’m typing as much as I am.  I may give it a couple days … Continue reading

unexpected fun

Admittedly there was an after-the-fact side eye thrown at Dave Steve when I’d fully processed his canceling the Super Bowl Party date, as I’d zeroed in on the part about the ex-girlfriend he was still wrapping things up with. But the … Continue reading

Have you seen my pretty blue eyes?  No?  You need to.  They’re really nice to look at. I better take a picture of them before I go into this meeting with Old Uncle Marv this morning.  There’s a very real … Continue reading

cupcake talk

Last year Valentine’s Day was my single busiest (paid) cupcake day aside from the wedding I did (and all the many unpaid charity events), so I knew it would be good this year. I had no clue it would as … Continue reading
