I'm sure I have talked about my hate/hate relationship with PG&E before. I'm sure I have. Today, once again, I called asking them how much I really owe, because I'm sure my bill is wrong. Last month when I called, the "supervisor" told me what the actual dollar amount was, and I paid it. Today, the supervisor told me that I owed $180 and some odd cents. My actual useage this month? $63.00. That's right people, PG&E is trying to take me for almost $120. I asked where this all came from. … [Read more...]

Deco Show in SF
June 2, 2005 by
I think that this Saturday I'll be heading up to SF yet again. Not to the Haight this time, but to downtown. You see, the annual Art Deco Show and Sale is this weekend. Normally, I forget. For two years, I've been forgetting. Lucky me, I remembered about 2 weeks ago, and I wrote it down on the calendar. YEAH! Now, after my shopping spree of last week, one would wonder why I would torment myself by going to the deco show. Well... Let's see. I am going to torment myself because the house … [Read more...]
I have smart family!
June 2, 2005 by
I've known for a very long time that my cousin Cindy's son Toren was smart. A long time. When my mom and I went to Germany in 1997, you could see it. He was bilingual, German and English. He was doing very well in the German schools, surpassing all of the teachers expectations. On top of all that, he played soccer, and other european sports. He is just an all around, well rounded kid. About a month ago, Toren got into Georgetown. Not only did he get in, he got a full scholarship. No … [Read more...]
Knitting SP5
June 1, 2005 by
Ok, so we all know that I'm spear-heading the Spoil-A-Blogger project (currently one month in)... But I have a SP5. So, I'm going to answer some questions for him/her here. If my Spoil-A-Blogger wants to use this information, feel free. 1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you? Hello?!? I'm a yarn whore. Seriously. It's bad. I do get higher quality yarns for the most part. I'm a … [Read more...]
Shoes, glorious shoes!
June 1, 2005 by
For weeks I've been dying to go shoe shopping. DYING. I'd spent a ton of time at the John Fluevog website, and I decided I needed to go to the Haight and check things out. So Saturday, I drove up to the Haight. I got there at 11:00 am. Right after the stores opened. It was a glorious day. Mid-seventies, bright blue sky... Seriously, I couldn't have asked for a better day. I got a parking space! That was the best part. Parking in the Haight is a nightmare. I got a space 2 blocks from … [Read more...]
what the *uck?
May 23, 2005 by
There are days in my life when I'm absolutely sure what I'm doing and why. There are others when I'm sure I'm insane, and I wonder what the *uck I'm doing. The grad school thing is one of those what the *uck am I doing. I know that I'm going to get something out of it someday, but right now, I swear to god I'm going to kill someone before I'm done with the degree. It's a very hard thing for me. I hate it when I feel like I'm doing busy work. The two classes I took this semester felt like … [Read more...]
Cause I’m a blonde, yeah, yeah, yeah!
May 14, 2005 by
My mom says it is June Bug season. You know the June Bug? It's the big, black bug that looks an awful lot like a roach. When I lived in Texas, we called them water roaches. Black bugs, almost 2 inches long who ran toward you rather than away from you. I'm scared of these bugs. They really freak me out. Every once in a while I would see them outside at my old house. But, never inside. NEVER. Since I've been here, I've seen two in my backyard. Eww. Yucky. Once made it into my bedroom. … [Read more...]
More house stuff!
May 12, 2005 by
Last weekend instead of studying, I went to Ikea. I know, I was bad. I had modules to do. But, I'm so sick of school right now. I've just about had it with faculty at this point. Sorry Cheeky. I'm sure things are very different at your campus. Anyhoo... here is what I did! I put up a new shade in my bedroom. It is cordless. Just push up or pull down on the bottom of the shade and it moves. It's very cool. Nope, not from IKEA. This is the spare bedroom. It had no rug and bright … [Read more...]
The last class!
May 9, 2005 by
Tonight is my last class. That is for the one I actually go to. I'm so excited. I'm so ready for this semester to be over. I didn't realize how much work went into school. Ok, busy work. Most of the work wasn't difficult, but it didn't seem to have much of a purpose. Last week in class I had a very nice conversation with a graduate from the program. It put everything into perspective for me. I'm glad I chatted with her. Just think, 2 years from now, I'll have a masters. Wow. … [Read more...]
