  • Currently…

    excited about Tax season. Yes that is weird, but it's different when you're a preparer.

    worried about Getting it right.

    craving Chocolate, because I'm on a new diet for the new year. No more bad things in my body.

    loving Quiet time on the couch with Bravo.

    hating my desire for food that is bad for me and not having time to work out.

    missing snowboarding.

    wondering what I will be doing after April 15th?

    reading nada.

    listening to random iPod shuffle.

    watching Season 4 of Heroes on Netflix instant.

The Black Friday Job

BeepBeepBeep. BeepBeepBeep. I was up at 5am Friday morning. Bravo grogilly trotted up the spiral staircase from the basement to my parents’ bedroom. “Are we going shopping?” I called up. “Yup we’re up.” My dad called back. We were on the road by 5:30am and walking in the doors [...]

The Suck Job

After returning the first vacuum I dove back into research, but I got impatient and decided to just grab a cheap one to take care of the carpets. WTF was I thinking? I really don’t know.
On my next trip to the WalMart I eyed their vacuum aisle and ultimately grabbed an $89 Dirt Devil. [...]

The Vacuum Job

Matt and I finally broke down and bought a vacuum this week. I’ve been reading the seas of online reviews attempting to find a vacuum that not only works well with pets, but is also on our laminate flooring. After using Tiffy’s Dyson Animal while staying at her place I was pretty sold [...]

The Housewife Job

It looks like I’m back to being a housewife for a while. I’ve sent out resume after resume, application after application and haven’t gotten any bites. That doesn’t mean I won’t keep trying, but I’m adjusting my expectations and settling back into my previous life of domestication. It could possibly be the [...]

The Denver Mattress Job

How is it exactly that on Monday Matt took me all the way to the Valley for Taco del Mar Mondo Burritos and then to just look at all the wonderful, shiny, new household stuff at Furniture Row and by Wednesday we’ve spent $1300 on a new bed?!!? Well, okay, I was obviously buttered [...]

Spoiled

It seems we’ve got our usual English weather back already. After a week of sunny(-ish) days while Matt’s relatives visited the rain finally came yesterday. I was pissed at the universe when I realized that we’d left the cushions on our outdoor furniture. Just before our visitors arrived I’d sprayed them down [...]

Black Eye

Millencolin
A while back I fell in love with Piper jeans. Every female on the planet is on a constant search for the perfect pair of jeans and I had thought I’d found them. They were stylish and affordable, they fit me exactly the way I wanted them to – even on those days [...]
