I'm not eating those "Other" potatoes!

My parents are coming over for dinner on Sunday. I'm looking forward to their visit, mainly because they're the most appreciative "food audience" I've ever seen. Neither of them like cooking, so they exist mainly on frozen entrees and pre-packaged side dishes. I don't allow any of that stuff into my... Sign in to see full entry.

The rise and fall of Super Woman

I've worked in the oil and gas industry for over 10 years. I started out working for my dad, who owns a company. My official title was "Senior Vice President", a term that I hated because I was only 15 at the time, and didn't want the word Senior anywhere near me. I referred to my self as Grand...

Will you dance with me?

I am rocking out today. Not sure why--I guess I'm just in the mood to move. I started with some Metallica. A bit loud, perhaps, first thing in the morning. But the Black Album was the first one I grabbed, so in it went. Next up, a bit of Jimmy Hendrix. That was Naut's fault, as he mentioned Hendrix... Sign in to see full entry.

I know what you're thinking

Two posts in one day--what has gotten into me?! Nothing, as it turns out. Corbin_Dallas was nice enough to give me some detailed instructions on how to post a video, so I'm trying it out before I start supper and get on with my evening plans. Nothing exciting, I'm afraid--I tend to watch videos that... Sign in to see full entry.

Housekeeping and other bits of life

First of all, before I forget, there are two bits of "house-keeping." 1) Thank you all for the calling cards! I'm horrible for remembering to check them, but seeing them always puts a smile on my face. 2) Does anyone know what happened to Opheliablue? I had just started reading her, back before the...

Insane Pot Bashers

I've just finished typing out a post and was in the process of spell checking (laughing at all the oddities, as usual), when my computer decided it had other plans. First, a big warning message appeared on the screen. Something about a critical error. Then, another message spouting off about how... Sign in to see full entry.

Possible Little No-Name? No New TV!

I'm off to my parents house for dinner this evening. I still haven't told them about the little bump on my noggin, because I didn't want to worry them. So, I'm not looking forward to their reaction when they spot the golf ball sized lump on my head. No amount of make-up will cover it--trust me, I've... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Concussed

I talk in my sleep. According to my husband, it's not the usual muttered nonsense, but rather clear, concise english. I talk in full sentences, he says, and use words that most people don't use when they're awake. According to Mark, my vocabulary actually improves when I'm asleep. If only I could...

If God had time to read blogs

I'm not a religious person by nature. But that does not mean I don't have faith. I assure you, I do. I simply do not find it in churches or organized religion. But being curious about religion has been a long-standing thing with me--I've taken a few courses, read a lot of books (including several... Sign in to see full entry.

Wobbly Bits

I've gained some weight over the past year. Not a huge amount, but enough that I notice it. And it's bugging me to no end. I was never a skinny mini, but I was never large either--somewhere in the healthy middle, and I was good with that. But a year of staying home almost all the time hasn't done my...
