Do you have a washing machine that acts like a Chia Pet?

I do. When my old roomate moved out I finally bought a washing machine. I was tired of having to schlep my laundry to the laundromat every time. But when I had it installed, I realized that the faucet that's supposed to bring water into the machine is blocked, apparently from the main water supply... Sign in to see full entry.

Ever been bitten by the laziness bug?

Here's the scenario I woke up to today: piles of laundry to be done (and it's only mine!) vacuuming to be done, books that sit in piles on the floor in the room designated as the living room in the hopes that the carpenter will come fix my bookcase, another suitcase full of winter clothes waiting to...

Apropos imperfections...

There was a girl today at the gym on the verge of tears. She is pretty both on the inside and out - about five feet tall, long brown curly hair, a nice, fit body and a killer smile. And a contagious personality. But today she broke down cause her "boyfriend" (I put it in quotations cause I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

No, I do NOT want a chemical peel!

Trips to a department store can as be relaxing as they can be scary. The scary part comes as soon as you walk in....all of the sudden you are sprayed left and right with perfume samples before you even have the chance to say no.....so you just smile, bite your lip and walk on by.

McDonald's ran out of French fries!

Yes folks...the unthinkable happened! So I went to McDonald's the other evening for dinner cause I was in a pig-out mood (this after having spent a ridiculous amount of money on lingerie, ha ha!). I ordered a Chicken McNuggets Value Meal. The cashier comes back with Nuggets and Diet Coke(!). He then... Sign in to see full entry.

I was really hell-bent on blogging tonight

Had everything ready when I got a cold-shower phone call. It was one of my closest friend's husband. I hadn't heard from them for a while so I happy to see his name come up. Unfortunately he was sobbing - he was calling to tell me that his father in law died this morning and that the funeral is... Sign in to see full entry.

a random thought....

Sometimes the best way to get revenge against a woman who has stolen your man is telling her she can keep him. Well, think about it.... Sign in to see full entry.

The decalogue for gym members….

Now, how many of you have been in at least one of these inconvenient situations? This is just a memorandum for my fellow gym members…it doesn’t take much rocket science to be more careful…… 1 – I can understand that you might not want to put your clothes in your locker for fear that they might get...

Do you have friends with shopping bag envy?

It's not often that I do this; in fact, I don't know what possesses me to do it at all. But when I do, I get such a sense of satisfaction when I get home.... What am I talking about? Saturday afternoon rugby - ergo: shopping on a Saturday afternoon. Those of you who do this know what I'm talking... Sign in to see full entry.

It's creeping up on us again.....

You're flipping through tv channels. Commericals everywhere. Infomercials aplenty. Programming info. You name it....but the time does come when you are watching tv, lost in your thoughts and maybe not paying attention, when suddenly something comes on and suddenly you think: "Oh shit, not again?!"...
