Category: Uncategorized

These will be updated to include a category with time, but to generalize, most involve music, photos, or general personal blogging. Basically I learned about categories when I was 700 posts in, and didn’t care to go back more than a couple hundred entries categorizing.

This Christmas, BE NICE.

  By

I shouldn’t have to hate Christmas. Not one day after writing about how I would take the Christmas season in stride, I was reminded that my place of work gives us absolutely no hours to fairly balance workload and accommodate the making of sales that are so important to their world.  (We’ve only made $3000 so far this week?  Goodness, me!  I am so selfish, making a teensy fraction of that!)  There should be some kind of mandatory free access to mental health help that… Continue reading

Rest in Peace, Brodie

  By

Nearly 13 years ago, my Nana got this adorable little Golden Retriever puppy named Brodie.  She grew up to be big, beautiful and fluffy, and like many dogs, she had her character quirks.  She was always a sweet and wonderful dog.  My aunts and I were talking just a week ago about what a smart dog she was, nosing her way out of her crate even when it was locked.  She had the girth of an ottoman and she burped sometimes.  I liked that about… Continue reading

Bring on Novembrrr… 3 Rs.

  By

It’s almost the end of another year.  The next two months will be sheer hell by the usual standards, but I’m willing to try and make the best of it. (PLZLETMEGETABETTERJOBBYNEXTCHRISTMASSEASON.) Two months seems like a long time, but it’s not.  I remember the end of August like it was yesterday.  Casey got spayed and then she peed and barfed all the live-long night.  See?  Easy recollection.  Two months from now is almost here. Before New Year’s Eve, however, there are four (4) birthdays in… Continue reading

Halloween!

  By

  Ranting aside, it’s a nice day for Halloween.  Not raining, not snowing, just a slight chill to the air, and I’m wearing some orange and a pair of Halloween socks.  I think the orange and black spirit would love me today.  Wish us luck with Casey and Rico not flying out the door tonight when the kids come to gather their treats.

Happy Orange & Black Spirit Day!

  By

There’s a part of me that believes that by attempting to include everyone in our Halloween celebrations by calling it something else, we are also sort of segregating them.  We’ve all heard about Holiday Trees by now, and surely we’ve heard or even some of us given a rant or two about them.  I am not a big Christmas fan until about the week of, because I work with the public and I see the gruesome commercial side of it (which ironically is my living,… Continue reading

Before I Forget

  By

I had a weird dream last night.  Miklos, his brother and I were in a fishing town and we stopped for something to eat.  When we were coming out of the place, which was old and small-town ‘fish n chips’-like, some guy followed us out and I think it was Rob Delaney.  He said we should go see the new Pink Panther movie because it has almost all the guys from Kids in the Hall in it.  We said we knew that (?!) and we… Continue reading

Easy Chrome Fix

  By

For a while I’ve had an issue with Chrome saving my bookmarks, but only until I close the browser and open it the next time to find them gone.  After uninstalling and reinstalling several times, and then months of simply giving up on bookmarking with Chrome, I found a suggestion in their Support site that I might have a corrupted user profile.  I can’t believe the fix is as simple as this… yeesh.  Lo and behold, it works.  If you’re having the same issue, here… Continue reading
