Mon Ami, Merci

Yesterday I asked to keep me in your thoughts in hopes I would be able to get into the creative writing class I so desperately wanted. It worked. Thank you! I am now in the creative writing class I wanted.

A Favor to Ask

I’m exhausted. My eyes are crossing. My mouth opens constantly in a gulping yawn. I don’t even have enough energy to cross my fingers and hope I get into this creative writing class that was the sole reason I went back to school this year (and paid beau coup money in tuition, gas, […]

Lessons We Learn

It’s said children are most like the parent they butt heads with frequently. I wholeheartedly concur as I am very much like my father even though we were constantly at odds with one another.

Sink, Sank, Sunk?

I’m not a boating person, seriously. Don’t get me wrong, I’d gladly go and do every chance I get so long as there is a competent person at the helm and the promise of tubing and/or skiing. Heck, even if there isn’t a glass or two of adult beverage afterwards, I’m still “on […]

Partial Shipment/Split Order

The ongoing saga of printing t-shirts.

Unless you’re a die-hard regular (which means the spider-bots who could give a rat’s behind), you should probably start out with this entry here and then this one here.

Been there, did that? Well, then by all means let’s move on to the most current (hint: click “more.”)

Cingular’s Name

What’s it been now? A year? Maybe longer? Has to be at least a year because tonight I said right along with the announcer: “Cingular’s name is now AT&T.” And then it hit me: Do you think they keep repeating that because I still haven’t gone online and changed my automated billing via my online […]
