last night was the 'official' good-bye dinner for stephen. chris, andrea, stephen and i went to tao tao in downtown sunnyvale. missey andrea and i talked almost the whole time. we are so funny. we talked all night tuesday night, and all night wednesday night. you would think that we don't have much of a life. i know we do. we talked about boys, and dresses for amy's wedding, and painting her house. i know that stevie and chris were talking about something, but we really weren't paying … [Read more...]

i decided a long time ago, ok, well maybe about the time that i started writing this blog, that i was only going to wear dresses/skirts to work. I didn't actually have a lot of dresses, but i do have a bunch of skirts. so, i've been on a dress buying spree as of late. I bought a few before my mom came to visit. one of them, no one likes. ok, well i like it. but everyone else thinks it is just too bright. it's really 1960's styling... polyester blend with a v-neck collar. black … [Read more...]

on thursday, daisy ate my entire package of uh-oh oreos (note, i've learned how to spell it). now let me tell you. this is not the first time she has done this sort of thing. she once at 1/2 a bag of cadbury mini eggs... she ate a bag of double stuff oreos... she is a trash hound. she is known to dump over the trash and find the most interesting smelling thing and eat it. it's gross really. but this eating of the uh-oh oreos' really upset me... don't really know why... but it did. i … [Read more...]

i can't tell you how long i have been working on anne's baby blanket. i'm beginning to feel like a loser. i can't believe i haven't finished it yet. tonight i did 4 more rows. 4 rows. that takes almost 2 hours. it's utterly embarrasing. and i'm knitting as fast as i can. now, i'm tired of knitting. it's like it's time to start a new project. i'm thinking of painting. or another sweater. who knows. got an idea? … [Read more...]

yesterday, in order to make my solo lunch less boring, i stopped by the book store and picked up some magazines. i got the ususal stuff, lucky, grace and then... i saw venus. you know me, i'm always up for a new magazine. i'm like, $4.50, kinda pricey. well, i got it, and what a cool little mag. it's out of chicago... it's got this diy section, and weird fashion... tons about music. i'd check out the site, and the mag if i were you. oh yeah, not martha, in my links section, listed in … [Read more...]

so, i think everyone knows that i'm addicted to gigglechick's blog. i read it at least twice a day (depending on the bordem factor at work). she visited my blog yesterday, and she actually commented on one of my entries! oh my god, it's like a superstar went to my site or something... had boring peoplesoft training today. i don't mind so much, i just wish that it was more exciting... interesting, something. work is work. … [Read more...]

How to wash the cat: 1) Thoroughly clean the toilet. 2) Lift the lid and add shampoo. 3) Find and soothe the cat as you carry it to the bathroom. 4) In one swift movement, place the cat in the toilet, close the lid; stand on top so cat cannot escape. 5) The cat will self agitate and produce ample suds. (Ignore ruckus from inside toilet; cat is enjoying this.) 6) Flush toilet three or four times. This provides a power rinse, which is quite effective. 7) Stand as far … [Read more...]

i'm dying to go back to ireland again today... i've been forwarding ads to my mother about specials offered by the irish tourist board. she isn't biting. not that i have a vacation day to use. i used every bit of them going to washington dc. if i ever talk about taking a trip with mar and tire man again smack me upside the head quick! so today, in the spirit of erie, i'm wearing the laura ashley skirt that i bought in ireland the first time i went. that was the trip with aunt connie and … [Read more...]

nancy is right... you project what you feel. i feel not pretty, like i'm huge, and that no guy in the room was interested in me. i don't know if that was true or not. it was the weirdest night i've ever had in my life. there were 25 girls and 24 guys. the odds were even. there was a really cute firefighter (dave) there. i liked talking to him. and this guy named stan... he was really friendly. i think i'm going to write him down as a friend. then there was matt, who didn't ask me one … [Read more...]
