Yes, those cushions really are that ugly.Edit and disclaimer: This post is what happens when I can't sleep and think I can write a post. Ha!He looks awkward as hell doesn't he? I can't believe being scrunched up on that chair can be comfortable, but that's how George spends most of his days outside in the sun.Notice the red ball. Pup bought it for him.

Oh, my God, Mr. Kotter, I thought you was gonna die, I swear!

I am taking a tax preparation class this semester. It meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1:00 until 4:00. Three hours. That's a good stretch of time to listen to a lecture peppered with, "What kind of credit would that be"? and "Is that a credit or would that be a deduction"?Instructor is a nice person. I'm pretty sure she is nice. She is nice, but this does not stop me from making fu

Technology: A Gift or a Block?
It's become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity.~Albert EinsteinI love technology. For someone who, as a child, had to color with crayons, I've embraced technology like leggings embrace big and small butts.I love the internet, I love information anywhere I need it, I love my Blackberry (thank you Lorenzo for showing me Blackbery App alerts).I love music storage, I love photo management, I love softwares that make my life easier.I LOVE my Garmin.I love being inspired and informed by things I can research while sitting in a waiting room. It's spiff on a stick.I don'

How Are They Hanging?

OverheardPup and I were out having breakfast one Saturday morning before starting our errands for the day. Two Q-tips (senior men in this case) were hanging by the grab-a-stuffed-animal game, waiting for I don't know what. Pup and I nearly choked on our scrambleds when we heard this exchange.#1 How's it going?#2 They're still hanging.#1 That's all you can hope for.The visual in my head will

These mystery cuties came in a set together along with a coffee carafe, although I'm certain that the little things have nothing to do with coffee. That's just the way they grouped them at the thrift store for me to w00t!Anyone know what these might be? 60s in origin I know and I'm guessing that the two larger ones would hold oil and vinegar respectively, but what are the little ones for?LOVE THE

Hot Men Friday

Not so much a hot man, but a hot couple.I caught the last 45 minutes of the movie, Sex and the Single Girl starring Natalie Wood and Tony Curtis. 1964! A movie with SEX in the title.The movie is a silly in a fun way and it made me want to see it from the beginning. I was struck by Natalie Wood's beauty! I had forgotten how stunning she was. And it was fun watching a movie actually filmed in 1964

Things I Wonder About

How does Hotmail know I'm depressed? Or loving the chubby ladies? Or having the endless trouble with my wiener? How?Why can't I eat dinner out without being asked 'how you doin' five or more times? But then they want to take my plate away just because I've put my fork down?How does my aspirin know to stop my back from hurting? Why doesn't it fix something that isn't hurting?Why has it been windy

Pup and I watch Hung on HBO. Sunday nights. I look forward to it.The show is kinda like the male version of Weeds only without Mary Louis Parker's annoying eye darting.I like the show. It's smartly written with a cast that isn't afraid to be vulnerable. And, no big surprise, I've developed a HUGE crush on Thomas Jane.He looks like the guy you shouldn't date. The one that makes you a little uncomf

Maybe I was two or three months into it and hadn't had a bad day up to this point.She and I were driving around on a summer day, I can't remember exactly what we were doing, just

Thrifting a Go-Go

Sunday was GORGEOUS so I hopped in Ruby (Jeep Wrangler) and met my BFF, deb-oh-rah, in the lovely little town of Lindstrom, Minnesota to check out The Picket Fence Gal's sale.A perfect day to wander around this fun and idea-packed place. We also checked out a couple of other antique stores in the town and ended the day having lunch outside at The Dinner Bell while enjoying a lake view.
