After much bitching, I've decided to move over to wordpress.org I don't care much for their blah templates, and I haven't figured out how to put up my flickr feed on it yet, but the blogrolling shit was the final straw. New templates just don't seem to work here anymore-maybe because they switched it to NewBlogger? I'm not sure. I won't trash this one entirely, but wordpress seems to work a

These idiots spent more on the paperwork to put a lien on the house than $0.01. Many moons ago, I worked at a bank and had overdraft protection on my account. I had to tap into it and I thought it was all paid back. When I quit I was sent a statement for $0.02. I called someone there and they said not to worry about it-they would clear that stupid balance. I got 2 more statements and finally

No soup communion for you!A SC catholic church is advising Obama supporters to refrain from receiving communion. WTF? All because he is pro-choice. Never mind the fact that he wants to withdraw our troops from Iraq as soon as possible. I guess it's ok to kill adults, but not unintended pregnancies. I am pro-choice. Outlawing abortions means only outlaws will have abortions. I am fortunate to not

Agatha is getting to that age-she's getting ready for college. *sob* My baby is growing up-much too fast. We went for a trip the past few days to Big Assed University to check it out. She's never seen a college campus and for some reason decided she wants to go to this one. Unfortunately, it's out of state, which means out of state tuition, which is nearly triple what in-state tuition would

Anybody know of another "blogroll" thing I can use? Blogrolling has been on the fritz for a while now and was pretty eratic in the past. Since I'm not using the cookie-cutter blogger template, I don't know if I can just plug that one in. I liked the fact that blogrolling used to show when blogs updated, but that was hit or miss too. And I won't go back to using GoogleReader. I like actually

I exercised my right to bitch vote. Sorry, but even though I am pleased with the results, there will ALWAYS be things to bitch about and I am a firm believer in "If you don't vote, you don't have the right to complain." What bugs me is that no matter how I voted, it wouldn't have mattered much. Not because of the electoral college bullshit, but because of the blue state/red state thing.

You almost came between me and the hardest working friends I've ever had, Swiffer. Your promises of getting what brooms leave behind are false. Your orders to throw away mops and buckets brought on doubt and remorse. You can only get the final dust that the broom just can't seem to sweep up no matter how hard she tries, and she does try hard. You are only useful for quick spot cleans, your

Things have gotten better at work. The pettiness, bitching and back-stabbing seems to have halted-for now. S. "no-showed" on a day when the office was closed, so it wasn't too much of a problem, but she did tell everyone that she planned on coming in that day, so in my book it's a "no-show." W. doesn't just "no show", but she calls in "sick" on a regular basis. The last time she did it though,

I very rarely have situation dreams. You know, the ones that are about conflict or stress in your life. Ok, here goes:I'm at work and W. is off-as usual (she requests lots of days off for bullshit reasons, but whatever) and S. no-shows. The office is really dark-not even any light from the huge windows we have. I try to turn on the light switch but it keeps turning itself off. The waiting

I am calling out to all my Witchy friends out there. I need some ideas on how to ward off toxic energies at work. Shakira has been downright aggressive lately. I walk into work yesterday and she launches in to me about not making her reminder calls for yesterdays patients on Monday when the office was closed and I was there covering phones. Then I hear her making todays calls yesterday and I

I admit it, I don't watch much of the debats at all. The non-answers just bug the hell out of me. The few minutes I saw last night reminded me of a M*A*S*H episode where Hawkeye and Trapper crashed a press conference. Hawkeye asked a question and the general gave a bullshit non-answer. When asked if anyone else had a question Trapper stood up and said "I have a question. Why don't you answer

Anyone making a few dollars on their blog out there? I'm wondering if it's worth cluttering up my sidebar for the sake of pennies. If it's a few dollars (or more, of course) then I would seriously consider it. I see lots of BlogHer ads on blogs. Anyone with one? Or other ads? Worth it? I don't know much about google adsense, but for some reason I don't want to do that one. I don't know

This whole support women at all costs thing makes me sick. Women voters who supported Hillary and now have switched over to McCain just because of Palin are neither Democrats or Republicans. They are estrogens. Sadly all this does is show that women are lemmings and will blindly follow anyone with boobs and a cooter. I weep for our future.

Things are gearing up for my upcoming 25 year *ugh* high school reunion. I am keeping in tradition of not going. I don't get why people get all hot and bothered over spending hundreds of dollars to see people you knew for 4 years a quarter century *UGH* ago.

What happened to "I talk 2 much"? I haven't been there in a while and was in the mood for some serious snarkage. I picked up a few reads for my blogroll from there and they were always good for a laugh. Maybe at someone else's expense, but those people (including me) asked for a review and we KNOW that site isn't for the faint of heart.Anyone?

I think I'm going to have to give a negative Yahoo review on that fitness center Hubs and I joined back in April. Several times over the past few months there have been problems with the machines. The resistance band is shakey, there has been a HUGE wrinkle in the carpet near the machines, the "personal trainer" has a rather embelished bio and the owner is too busy with her "real" job as a

I know I've been quiet here lately. It's not just because of losing our furbaby, but we've been so busy here that I haven't had time. We are healing, but it is going to take time. The next day we went grocery shopping and after we put all the food away decided to make hot dogs for dinner.

I think I can do this-post about what happened yesterday. We hated the clock from the minute we woke up to get the girls ready for school. We kept thinking "he only has 5 hours left to live" then 4, then 3....I had to turn the clock in the bathroom over so I couldn't see it counting down the minutes.

I've made a tiny effort to go green. I do recycle, I try to buy products that use the least amount of packaging, I reuse the water bottles when I have to break down and actually pay for water, we replaced all our incandescent light bulbs with CFLs, turn off lights in empty rooms, keep our thermostat at the limit of our tolerability (ok, that is to save a few bucks too), and I am using "green

Hubs and I have made the very difficult and painful decision to put our dog down. Masse is 18 years old, nearly deaf and is finding it harder and harder to climb the stairs on the deck. That is his only way in and out for potty and when the deck is slick, he falls. He is beginning to lose control of his bowels. He is finding it more difficult to lie down and get up. We are so worried that he

Vader is now officially an "It". I took him in Wednesday morning and picked him up that evening. It was done by a non-profit group and included his shots for a total of $25. I had to drop him off at a woman's house and her garage was full of cats in cages. She was taking all those cats in to be fixed and wait for adoption. She fosters cats and helps trap feral to take them to local farms. They

Me (on cell phone): Honey? My car smells like cat pee and my nipples hurt.Back story:Vader has taken to that lovely habit of spraying the house. We are FINALLY getting around to getting him fixed this week, so I hope that works. We had Midnight fixed at an early age, so we never had this problem, and Smokey came to us fixed so we never had this problem with him either. The little fuck peed on

Went for my "treat myself extra special nice and get a mani/pedi" today. I usually have problems with the ladies at the salon Queen and I go to so I tried a different place today. Actually I was at that end of the Mega-super-duper mall anyway and saw this quiet out of the way place and tried it. What a difference! At the usual one, the ladies there treat my poor tootsies like a side of raw

Now that I am finally re-embracing my spirituality, I am going back to more of a Pagan Witchy look here. I did notice that I was denying to myself who I am. "I am Pagan Wiccan I AM A WITCH! While the first two are also true, when I would say those words it felt like I was trying to soften up who I am to others. Not anymore. Should it ever come up in conversation in any way, shape, or form (

I have to confess-I put chips on my sandwiches. Ok, not the pbj ones, but the lunchmeat ones. And I know its not a big confession, most people do. But how do you choose which chips? If I have a mild meat like turkey or chicken, then I go for something with a little more crunch and flavor like either Fritos (a classic choice) or Doritos (who doesn't love powdered cheese-like product?). But a

All the bullshit with Brett Favre is getting old, yet nerve racking. I'm really don't understand all the details, but I think the prick either overplayed his hand or he really does think he made a mistake by retiring or this all was just a publicity stunt. Notice how it comes just as training camp is about to begin? But I saw on the news this morning a photoshopped pic of him in a Bears

I did something this morning that I've always wanted to do-sit outside enjoying a beautiful summer morning before work. Of course it would be even nicer if I didn't have to go to work, but having little luxuries like food on the table and a roof over my head is even nicer. After 2 days of humidity here, we have a gentle breeze and cool sunshine. I sat out on our deck with a cup of coffee and

...in a home improvement store, shit is broken all over the place? The sliding doors when you walk in squeal like a little girl, the faucets in the bathroom are broken and the paper towel dispenser doesn't work. I was tempted to go to the different aisles to get what I needed to fix the stuff myself. THEN I would charge them for labor. *evil grin*

I have a question that no one need answer here. Of those who will vote, how many choose a candidate based on race or gender? It looked like a lot of women voted for Hillary just because she was a woman. And I remember when Jesse Jackson Jr. ran and he picked up many votes from the african american community just because of his race. I also remember people saying that if he were elected then

When giving out a telephone number that contains a the "round" digit, what do you say, "oh" or "zero"? I usually say "zero" because that is a number while "oh" is a letter. So a telephone number would be said "five five five, one zero two zero", not "one oh two oh". And what about double zeros? The best known number in Chicago-one we have ALL learned from early childhood-is the one for Empire

Do you go when you just want something quick and don't want to deal with parking your car, getting out and waiting for one of the slow-assed teeny boppers to finally quit talking about what a skank Tifani is and finally take your order? Or is it when you have to order enough food for the entire 5th armored division? I can see where that would be the way

Some points to think about when you go to the doctors' office:1. When you give us a telephone number, please use one that we can actually reach you. Telling us "Oh, I'm never at home so I never get those messages", "I don't know how to get my voice mail" "My kids/husband/wife must have deleted the message" and "I moved. I guess I forgot to tell you." Listen up people...our reminder calls for your

How could I not know until recently that the tattoo some girls have on the small of their backs is called a "Tramp Stamp"?Or what a "Cock-block" was?Ok, I found that one in a slang dictionary, but not much else of any use. Does anyone else have a slang word that they've recently discovered? Or any favorites?

I'd wear it. But I can't seem to find white pumps. Just plain, white pumps. Or slingbacks-those would be cute too. Ever since I ditched the scrubs for office wear, I've been wearing cute black boots. But now that summer has come, its time to trade those in for something a little less stifling. I found a cute pair of black pumps and have a pair of adorable black mules. But white seems to be

Workout progress:7.4 pounds since April 13. Not as much as I'd like, especially since you tend to lose a bunch in the beginning, then taper off. I still haven't hit my little milestone of either under the 10pound marker or 10 pound loss, either way. I did lose 4.5 inches so at least that is something to cheer. Smoking progress (or lack thereof):138 days smober and $834 saved, just on cigs

Thanks for the advice, Kelly. It totally worked. :)Actually, I indulged in a little retail therapy. I got a couple of necklaces that I was eyeballing and The Mists of Avalon on DVD, and The Jungle (required Chicago reading).

I'm not salary so the pay will be at time and a half which means a bitchin' paycheck. But I'm feeling a little burnt out this week. This is George's biggest fear, that I will burn out.

The good:I think I'm down 5 pounds since starting this whole adventure in working-out. It's hard to tell since the scale at work is so shitty. We finally bought one for home so I am going to have to go by that. Maybe I just use THIS weight as my starting weight and go from there.The bad:My uncle died yesterday. I guess I was close to him. I probably saw him more than any of my other uncles.

Ok, I put up a weight widget on the sidebar. I only gained 6 pounds since quitting, so a BIG YAY for that. I know people have gained as much as 20, but I think that may be more self inflicted than anything else. I've since stopped gaining and with the mutual motivation with Hubs, will reverse that trend.Now I need to put up a widet that counts the days of Smobriety. Today is 99! and $600

There are a couple near my work, but going before work is out of the question since there aren't any showers, and after work isn't going to happen either.

He died on Friday, so that gives you Saturday, Sunday and Monday.2. If he died to save us, what about the people who lived before him? Is the sacrifice retroactive, or are those people just fucked?3. Aren't Christians being hypocritical when they have one

I know we can still have snow before the end of April, but I am so tired of winter that I had to ditch my winter template.Until I can find a spring one I like, you get to enjoy this one again.

Hubs and I have just discovered martinis. Where have these been all our lives? We never bothered with them partly because they seemed so "establishment" and pretentious, and partly because we really didn't think we'd like them. But we are now going to evening functions for work and while everyone else is ordering them "I'll have a beer" or "Jack/Rum and coke please" just doesn't seem to cut it

The flu hit the Witch household last week. For good or bad, it was respiratory and not GI related. 6 people, 1 bathroom. You do the math. I think I got it the worst since it lasted the longest in me. I finally feel human, but even yesterday I didn't have the energy to knit. The irony? I was the only one to get a flu shot this year. But George told me that this years batch was pretty much

Agatha kicked off what we call Birthday Bruhaha otherwise known as March. She just turned 17 yesterday. 17? SEVENTEEN?! When did that happen? I mean, I know when it happened, but 17 years? Damn. No wonder I'm feeling old lately. The rest of our Brat Pack celebrates birthdays this month too. Percy will be an adult at 18 (Hubs is feeling that worse than I am feeling Agatha's age). Endora

In August I ordered two school portrait packages for Agatha, one for me on one for her dad's side. Her grandfather paid for that one, so it's not like I was being nice or anything like that-don't worry. In October I get one package, the one I ordered for myself. I have been in communications with that company every week since then trying to get the other package. They even sent me another

I'm on semi-vacation this week. Meaning George is out of the office all week, but he wants someone in the office to cover phones so we all split the week. I'm on Monday and Thursday, so it's not toooo bad. I made sure yesterday was one of my days off so I could take my test-that I PASSED! And I get a 3 day weekend out of it to boot. The problem? I usually do my BIG, bad, uber-clean when I

I PASSED!!! They give you 2 hours for the test and the scoring is all half-assed. I finished in 45 minutes and as I was answering each question, I was mentally calculating when I could re-take it since I obviously fucked up. On a 210 question test, you'd think each answer would be worth a little over .50 points, but each question is weighed against itself. If a question is super hard, then

At least in the Army, they know someone will be shooting at them AND the kids will be armed and able to fire back.My thoughts and healing energies go to the students and their families.

bullying your man into sending you flowers. Seriously, calling your partner and bawling him out because someone else got flowers and you didn't? And then you have the balls to consider something that YOU forced to be a romantic gesture? I don't get it. All I know is that you are a flaming bitch, and he is a big pussy. Maybe you two ARE a match made in heaven.On another note-as we think of

Maybe it's just me, but Ew. If it's your mom, do you really want her with you All. The. Time? "Lets see what Mom thinks" as you look down at your hand. Would she turn your finger green in retaliation for that one year you got her a blender for Christmas? Or do you wave your hand at someone telling them to "Say hello to my little friend"?

Hubs and I saw I Am Legend last night and got to a lot of deep thinking. What would you do if you were the last person on earth. No zombies, just the very last person? Or just you, your partner and kids? Either way. Would you drive the Ferrari just because you can? Do you hit the jewelry store for that diamond necklace you've been lusting after? Do you care? Do you raid D & G or Prada or

I'm watching one of those stupid "Top Superbowl Commercials" shows. Once again it looks like that insipid "Mean Joe Green" Coca~Cola commercial is going to come out on top. I thought it was dumb when it first aired in 1980 and time has not helped it become a "classic". Who the hell keeps voting for this one?One of my favorites is the Budweiser one with the sheep streaking at the horse football

I did it. I comitted myself to taking the RMA exam. I kept putting it off until I was "ready". Unfortunately I never made myself actually knuckle down and study for it. I always found some excuse not to. Now that I have an actual test date I have no choice. I haven't done a "cram session" in over 20 years. I have 500 pages to study and so far have only been reading on weekends. That comes to 62.5

Not that Oklahoma City is a jerkwater town, but c'mon! No Sonic? I kept trying to come up with restaurants that are only local to Chicago and you helped me! Oberweis is all our own.

I have really been neglecting my witchy ways. I don't even remember the last time I observed a sabbat or an esbat. I can't even remember the difference between the two. I get a newsletter from a local pagan shop about Imbolc and realized that its time to dust off my candles and athame and get back into it. Maybe this is what I've been missing in my life lately-a sense of balance. I haven't

Even though the days are getting longer, its still pretty dark when I get home.

I know I promised a list of reasons why we quit, but I can only think of the benefits I already see from quitting. A few days after we decided to quit I went outside for a smoke during lunch at work. It was sleeting and sloppy outside. Not only did I feel like a loser, going out for this while everyone else is in the kitchen, eating and just hanging out, but I actully mucked through all that

Ok, not quite, but we will be saving a ton of money by not smoking. According to the Chantix help-site, I've already saved $60 by not smoking, which means we've really saved $120 since Hubs quit too. Actually it's probably a little less since we usually bought by the carton, but we figure it's probably closer to $80 which is still nothing to sneeze at. And since I quit, I don't go out for
