Halloween Horror Story
So yesterday was Halloween, or if you are so inclined, “Hallowe’en,” and so we dutifully tarted the Collective Spawn up in costumes and allowed them to beg the neighbors for candy. The costumes are what makes this different from an average evening. The two older spawn decided they wanted to be rockstars, so we procured…

La Fitness (It’s French!)
So I took a lengthy hiatus from the gym because I broke my foot. And then I got busy and lazy and you know how it goes. Shut up. But I’m back, and today I went for a lap swim. The pool at my gym is smallish and warmish, also shallow, because it’s trying to…

Warranty Wars
So about a year ago we got fed up with our crappy minivan and bought a nicer one. It was used but so much sexier than the old one, with the seats that fold into the floor and power doors and this thing in the stock which tells time. We named it Moby Titanic (as…

Hey how about those __________
So I don’t post anything specific about work, and I’m not going to start now, because a girl could way get fired that way and then who’s going to pay for all the debauchery around here? But I’m just going to say: gosh darn it some people are difficult to work with. And I’m not…

Pageantry
So, we’ve been attending a different church lately. It’s the same type of church, just smaller and closer to our home. I have mixed feelings about possibly leaving the church I’ve attended since Delia was a month old. But that’s far too serious a topic for this blog! At any rate, the long-awaited Christmas Pageant…

What to do with credit card offers.
The Lovely Rhonda received a credit card offer today. YOU’RE PRE-APPROVED! It said. And the interest rate? Well, the introductory rate was halfway reasonable. For a period of time. After which it shot into the stratosphere. I heard once that an unscrupulous person might take the postage-paid envelope and put some of the literature that…

I’m still glad
Dear Staffing Agency, I called you at ten o’clock this morning with every confidence that you could get my night shift covered for me. And at 5:30pm I realized you had not called me back. I phoned you once again and it was quite apparent by the way you went, “Uhhhh….” that you had dropped…

You’d think I’d know better.
So I have this habit of picking at things: scabs, hangnails, chapped lips, you name it. And in the winter I get rough, dry skin on my elbows, just perfect for picking at. And I picked at my left elbow (because I’m right handed) and made it bleed a little. Okay, no big, it happens.…

An Open Letter to My Doctor’s Office
Specifically to the billing department: Dear Useless Rude “Customer Service Representatives,” I have this little thing called “health insurance.” It pays a certain portion of my bills. Each time I visit my doctor, you send me a statement in which the billing information is completely wrong. Today, for instance, The Lovely Rhonda called you to…

A time and a place
Really, lady? You aren’t maybe thinking that having your two drop-kick dogs on retractable leashes wandering all over the aisles at Home Improvement MegaStore ™ might somehow constitute a safety hazard? Because I sure as hell am, and besides, if your precious angels can’t sit in the car for a half hour while you make…
