Surrounded by Christians, The Christmas Party from Hell!
Better Half and I received a last minute invitation from an old (over 20 year) friend to attend a Christmas party/dinner. This gal was BH's sales manager at the Big City News and personified workaholic. She was more than willing to sacrifice her life and yours to make her numbers and win the awards....

Eldest Daughter's upcoming marriage to dumbass boyfriend. b. Finding a strange boy in the upstairs bedroom....

Offering a Blogger Career Advice
A well-known and well-liked blogger told me what her career plans were for the upcoming year. Since I am much older than she is, I offered her my two cents and promptly told her to take them and throw them out in the trash. But here's what I said: DO NOT try to make a living doing something you...

Another Handyman Project Goes Down the Tubes ...
I'm not going to admit it, of course. Obstensively, I'm staying home from church tomorrow to finish installing a glass screen back door. But the project is doomed. I'm useless at any kind of fix it projects, even if I do have the right tools and equipment. All my projects start out great. This was...

Snow Day!
There's no snow on the ground, of course, but when it sleets in North Texas, nine times out of 10 the public schools will be closed the following day. We all stayed up late, confident we wouldn't have to get up early the following morning. Although Eldest Daughter left for her babysitting job at 7...

Texans can not drive in icy conditions
The cold front blew into North Texas today, and when Girl Genius' school called to say she was being let out early, I used it as an excuse to leave the office around noon. Good thing I did. My Dodge Dakota pickup truck swiveled and swerved on icy highway, and I was forced to crawl home. On the way,...

The Great Kool-Aide Caper ...
I've been jumping Eldest Daughter's shit the last couple of days. Hard. I've had it with her staying out all night, working during the day and basically contributing nothing to our family. There were two last straws. First, I came back from karate Saturday morning to shower before work and...

A Much Needed Break, From Each Other ...
Better Half left town again today, and it wasn't a moment too soon. We've been fighting constantly ever since the Leftover Turkey incident, not huge screaming matches but lots of little nit-picks that drive us both crazy. As to why we're at each other, well... that's for another day. Suffice to say...

Flash Wednesday
Yesterday, the entire sales forces minus your's truly went to the factory to see the roll out of the new models that will be introduced in 2006. The reason I didn't go is because three people said they were coming in and I want to get as many sales as I can before the end of the year. Grumpy Steve,...
