My New Philosophy

July 18, 2008

There is no problem money can't solve. I will amend that, there is (almost) no problem money can't solve. I came home from work yesterday to discover that our air conditioning was broken. On a hundred degree day, we had no air. My first call was to be the people who installed our unit 5 [...]

In Which I Channel My Inner Teenager

July 17, 2008

So, everyone is packing and leaving for BlogHer. Yeah, whatever. I'm packing for my in-laws. It TOTALLY IS the same thing. IT'S NOT LIKE I WANT TO GO ANYWAY! (Stomps foot, runs out of room, and slams door).
