Well, Crap
So, you know how I'd taken vacation days for all the Fridays left in the year?  Here I was, looking forward to a long weekend off, since they're giving us Saturday off, too.  After work, I went up to get my paycheck, and the receptionist said, "I don't have...

F.O. And W.I.P
We have a finished object! Yes, I finished the cowl I was working on.  I had to leave off the top border, because I ran out of yarn.  I was even sweating the bind off, thinking I might have to tink another round to end up with enough yarn to finish it, but ...

I Didn't Have To
When my alarm went off this morning at 2:45, I lay there for a moment, telling myself that I didn't have to go to work today.  I seriously thought about turning the alarm off and going back to sleep.  Then I started thinking about all the things I want to b...

Throwback Thursday
So, there I was at work, just a working away, when a lady walked down the aisle.  Now, that is not unusual.  Lots of people walk down the aisles, but this lady had on a t-shirt that said something about flip flops on it.  I don't remember what; it isn't imp...

Tuesday Miscellany
If you're friends with me on Facebook, you may remember me posting about someone's child being an obnoxious little twit.  If you aren't, here is a screen shot of the status in question. The story is, I go in to work early in order to clean up and set up the...

Fall, Maybe
I woke up to this blessed relief from the heat this morning. It looks like Fall might finally be here.  It won't last long, though.  It's supposed to be back up into the 90s by the middle of next week. I finally broke down and called the tree guy back.  I'd...

Arnold & Arnie
Back in our college days, my friends Jennifer and Patti were inseparable.  From time to time, they let little ol' me tag along with them.  I was like the annoying little sister trying to follow the cool kids around. One of our favorite activities was playin...

The Best Laid Plans
My friend and I had planned on getting up this morning and going to the Memphis Zoo.  As often happens, those plans went the way of the dodo.  She sent me a text last night saying that she had a personal issue come up that she really needed to take care of ...

So, That Happened Again
I got to work bright and early this morning, and my coworker came running up to me and asked, "Who was the whiny obnoxious kid you wrote about?"  I told her, and she said, "I knew it!  I knew it was him!" I walked on, after we had chatted a bit. I didn't ju...

Doors And Mantles
I have a new bathroom door! James and Beverly came over Saturday afternoon.  She did laundry, and he put up my new bathroom door and frame.  I'm telling ya, it ended up being a much bigger job than either of us anticipated, but he got it done.  It looks so ...

Downtown Jubilee
Every year, my town holds the annual Downtown Jubilee on the square.  I've always enjoyed going, but this year, I was especially excited.  They were going to open the History Museum for free during this year's event.  That's something that combines three of...
