Dear Mother Nature
So it begins eh? The annual Springtime Weekend Only rainstorms. Charming. You know what this is forcing me to do today? Get in my weekend run today. After work. Or, more specifically, I am going to run home from work (thank god that’s mostly downhill this time). So please, keep that rain away until much [...]
Dear Daylight Savings Time
What the heck did I ever do to you? How can one little hour have so much impact? Por ejemplo – last Sunday I joined my running buddies for a 90 min trail run at San Elijo Lagoon. We had to get started before 8am because they have follow up the run with a swim [...]
What if Tim Tebow wasn’t a Christian?
I can’t be the only one who has posed this question, right? But I just need to get this out there as he on the verge of potentially yet another freaky upset against the often equally reviled Tom Brady and the Patriots in the playoffs this weekend. UPDATED: And so readers don’t think I am anti-Tebow personally [...]
Spare me the mommy wars – please!
Ugh! Again with the Mommy Wars in the media? Ok, I suppose first we should blame whoever conducted this “controversial study”. I mean really,what’s the damn point? No, I wont look it up to link to it and give it more eyeballs. I find the premise of it insulting enough. Apparently the gist of THIS [...]
I suppose if you LIKE being depressed…..
I like to be a contrarian sometimes. Sometimes? Oh hush. The following four things receive HIGH HIGH HIGH Critical Acclaim. Oprah’s Book Club! Grammys! Oscars! However, I will advise you that unless you WANT to run into the kitchen and swallow a bottle of anti-depressants with that bottle of vodka and slip away into the night…well….then you’d [...]
No common sense – none!
As I alluded to in an earlier post, there have been um…”issues” with the plumbing in the ladies rooms in the basement. I use the term “ladies” quite loosely. Toilets left un-flushed, or not completely flushed, toilet paper rolls almost never replaced (seriously, go in there after 3:30 and you will inevitable see two empty [...]
Complaints, I have a few
Unfinished or poorly designed or broken websites. Really, it’s 2011 and if your online storefront is not your #1 priority then you are doing it wrong. I’m planning the upcoming August Moms gathering here next weekend and I spent yesterday surfing around restaurant websites and nothing irritated me more than trying to open a menu [...]
1 wrong does not make 50 wrongs
Last week an email went out at work admonishing the ladies of the basement about flushing items they shouldn’t. Specifically, it was plastic applicators (apology for the slight TMI there). I knew because I heard the maintenance employee talking about it. I immediately felt defensive because hey – I’m a woman in the basement! But, [...]
Push Presents and our Madison Avenue driven culture of expectation
Listening to a morning radio show on the way to work I heard a completely new term. “Push Present” Now, I know I fall out of the range of your typical female target audience. The things that I watch on TV or the magazines & blogs I read are WAY out of the norm for [...]
What happened to Ebay?
I am going to sound like such an old fuss bucket, but, remember when Ebay was..well..EBAY?! When it was FUN? When it was EASY? When it was…well..CHEAP?! When Ebay first launched it was the Internets very own garage sale site. Just folks in their pajamas like me, cleaning out their closets & garages to sell [...]
