I rarely know what you’re talking about.

The haves and the have nots

Things I don’t have:
a job
a goiter
season tickets to the Sky.
a good nights sleep
the ability to feel joy
Things I do have:
a family that loves me
fat kitties
great hair
all my teeth
some questions about the goings on on the Island of Sodor
Day number a hundred and thirty-millionth of unemployment has really inspired the tension in my neck to bring [...]

Full disclosure

Internet, have I ever told you that I saw The Rock in the theater? Twice. Uno, dos. I’m not sure of the circumstances surrounding the initial viewing, but I know that the second time I made my sister go with me.
It was really hot outside, so we went to the movies to soak in [...]

Not so fast there, soap opera

Hey, guess what. I still don’t have a job. Fortunately I just got my nerve medication refilled — had to get in there fast before my health insurance lapsed– and I still have my kind aquaintance, As the World Turns. I haven’t hopped over to Oakdale for a while because, once Noah showed up [...]

grind, grind, grind

Oh, Internet. You look so well-rested and content. How I envy you those things. You look like your neck doesn’t hurt, and like you didn’t spend half of last night in the emergency room, either waiting for medical personnel to show up or resenting them once they did.
Everyone’s fine; let’s just get that clear right [...]

“Work in Progress.”

You have, I am sure, noticed things changing visually around here. You may also have noticed my abject lack of PHP knowledge, or if you haven’t, I certainly have. So yes, work is in progress, and not currently finished, and please ignore the “About” and “Archives” links above as well, as they lead to nonexistent [...]

MOMMY’S WORKING!

So, yeah, like I said, I’m unemployed and doing this consulting/free-lance shit from home. Is ‘free lance’ one word? Two? Whatev, I don’t want to go into the specifics of why I’m unemployed because the reasons behind me leaving have plagued me for months now and, frankly, I’m sick of talking about it.
Some people [...]

My day thus far

As there is no Sandra Bullock movie on this morning (yesterday was Hope Floats with Harry Connick, Jr.) I’m watching the 194? Greer Garson “Pride & Prejudice.” I am already guessing that every Bennett sister is played by a woman well into her 30s.
Also, I’m considering walking to the library to get a Danielle Steel [...]

Sixteen! Ah-ah-ah!

Person #16: Dear Sister
a.) We abruptly became friends the summer before you left for college. It was pleasantly surprising. In school I felt I let down the teachers who’d had you in their classes before me.
b.) One time when we were mad at our parents, we formed a club called “N.P.A.” (no parents allowed). We [...]

Fifteen! Ah-ah-ah!

Person #15: Henry
I hate to think of my life if you’d never become part of it. When you and your mom are the only good things about my day, I’ve had a great day.

Fourteen! Ah-ah-ah!

Person # 14: ELB
I wasn’t ready to meet the girl I’d marry, but there you were. Knowing I’d have been a fool to not be with you continues to be one of my wisest decisions.
