Thirteen Things I Wish I Had In My Office

A Cadbury™ Caramel Egg factory — I don’t think this requires explanation.

A Bill Gates voodoo doll — I doubt this one does, either.

A pencil — Where the heck do they all go?

Joseph Campbell — A girl can dream.

One of these — Sorry. Guy moment.

The Library of Congress [...]

Sometimes It’s Not Okay To Laugh

I missed Idol last night for — ironically — a choir concert.
Now first, let me say I was kind of annoyed because it didn’t start until 7:30, making it pretty well impossible for the boys to come along because we wouldn’t get home until well past their bedtime.
But my annoyance was greatly lessened during [...]

Things I Learned This Weekend

This had to be the shortest weekend on record. But I still managed to learn some things:

People who are tan in February annoy me.

It’s a bad idea to temporarily set a printer on one of those huge rubbermaid containers. While printing, it will sound like a drumline’s coming through your office.

Cats adore the sound of [...]

Guest Blogging Day

I’m over at the Romantic Suspense Blog today. Come on over.
And today’s the big day. Those of you who know what I’m talking about, wish child #1 luck. :cheer:

Timing Is Everything

Yesterday was…interesting.
First, there was much jubilation (:freak:) when my The Living Legend advance copies arrived.
Of course, I was home alone when it happened, and the cats just didn’t get it. All they cared about was whether they could have the box the books came in. Ungrateful brats.
So naturally, I called people. Then I was about [...]

Warning: Cat Owner Post

This is Princess Moo, who posed shamelessly for the (crappy) closeup.
Why do I have that Chris Farley singsong voice in my head?
Fat cat in a little bowl…
Fat cat in a lit-tull bo-wull…

Things I Learned This Weekend

:banghead: It’s a bad idea, directing your children to Pirates Online. Meet you on Tortuga, B.

Absessed teeth cause great pain for those who have them. Lots of gagging for those who don’t. :faint:

Chlorine bonds chemically with hair. :karate:

:tissue: Spring Break was devised by some childless asshat.

I’m having house guests this weekend. :freak:

:freak: Spelling Bee Regionals [...]

Wow. Just…Wow

This is why I love geeks. And retain a healthy fear of them, too.

Umm…

:wtf:
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Random House Publishing Group, the world’s largest book publisher, is planning to test selling individual chapters of a popular book to gauge reader demand, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
Random House, a unit of German media giant Bertelsmann (BERT.UL), will sell the six chapters and epilogue of “Made [...]

Things I Learned This Weekend

:tpoccy: Track changes is the devil.
One should never watch Wayne’s World while editing. The word “not” stands out too much.
:freak: Going to the gym at 10 pm when it’s twenty below zero outside is a bad idea.
Taking the kids to the pool when it’s ten below is no better. :drama:
Blogging three times in two days [...]
