this afternoon nancy and i went down to sjsu to take some photos for her eharmony profile. i think we did a pretty good job. miss nancy is much more photogenic than i am... but she things just the opposite. she did take a pretty good picture of me. i'm laughing. not many people can catch me laughing, and make me look good on top of it. it was hotter than all today, i know that at one point, my car said it was 100 degrees out there! can you believe it. and yet miss nancy and i went out … [Read more...]

for the first time in months, i actually had a conversation with sheri. yeah, i know, weird isn't it. it seems that the two of us have both had it with work. we are both bored to tears. we are both irritated that we have to have a weekly one on one with kathy. we are both irritated that the entire department seems to be catering to one person. we can't come in late, we can't leave early all because one person is unable to follow the rules. all this time, i had no idea that she was as … [Read more...]

tonight i will be all by myself. for the first time since my mom got here, i will be in the house alone. no friends, no mom, just me and the do. i think daisy is going to be tickled pink. i know i am. big brother is on at 9, and i am going to be there, on the couch, by myself. it sounds so decadent, so luscious, an evening alone... i know that in a weeks time, i will wish that my mom had been home with me, rather than with mar... but for now, i'm so excited not to have to entertain … [Read more...]

this morning mom and i got up and started looking for garage sales. i wasn't really sure what we were looking for, but, i was thinking some art for the house would be nice. we started out by our house, and then decided to head to palo alto rather than los altos. yes, los altos can have great sales, but palo alto didn't have an arts & wine festival this weekend. we decided to stay away from the crouds. we saw some nice framed, signed art at one of our first stops. the guy wanted … [Read more...]

what an interesting day today turned out to be. got up, had a hissy-fit, bought a book case and spend most of the day moving furniture. ok, wait... can i really just gloss over the hissy-fit? you know i can't. who else would i be having a hissy-fit about but the lovely and multi-talented miss mar. many of you don't know that i'm really not talking to mar do to the inability of her live-in family to treat me in a civilized manner. wow, that was very tacktful, wasn't it? ok, back to the … [Read more...]

saturday morning, my mom and i got up and decided to go garage sale'ing in palo alto. if you are going to go look for good stuff, you should look in a good area, right? so, after a stop for some lovely bagels, mom and i got started... lets talk about this here, just for a second. i'm going to go look for stuff to purchase with the woman whom i promised i would not spend any money for the month of july. does this make sense? anyway, back to the tale... so we get to the first good sale, … [Read more...]
