So, today I packed up the stash of baby clothes. I’m taking it with me to Indianapolis to pass to Brandy. It filled up a suitcase (once I included the clothes that I plan to wear on the trip!). Yes, I included all the penguin stuff. Somehow I ended up with two penguin Halloween costumes…

it’s true, it’s true…
I have hives. Even a real live doctor agrees. She* even prescribed luscious Prednisone for me to take for the next 9 days along with some over the counter Zyrtec. So, I may be itchy, but (as I already said on Facebook) my house will be clean. As you may know – and I know…
Hive Mind…
Or, I have hives and YES I mind. Ugh. Woke up this morning with hives. I have never had them before in my entire life. Ick. Feel so gross. WebMD said to take an antihistamine and smear some hydrocortisone on the spots so that’s what I have done. If I don’t look at least 50%…
An email from who???
I had an email from the company I interviewed with yesterday and Thursday. They wanted me to take some online personality tests as “the final portion of the interview process.” Hmm. What? I have no idea what to think, so I’m just going to hang out and wait to see what happens. Did I mention…
Shopping smart…
Okay…now, I am no Almighty D when it comes to bargain shopping (seriously, she walks out of Target, Rite Aid, the grocery store with a land yacht full of stuff for $10 – I should call her Almighty D, the shopping goddess) but I have developed a few edicts for shopping throughout the last few…
Mahjobiscrappis: A New Chapter (?)
(The chapter, BTW, is #11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 11 is not as serious as Chapter 7 – it’s more a reorganization tactic than a death sentence, theoretically). So, fun is when your payroll provider calls you and says, “So I hear your company filed bankruptcy. How do you plan to pay for your…
Life Lessons
(By which I mean, “Things I just figured out that everyone else has known for years”) * If you are boiling water (for pasta, etc), fill the pan with hot water. (I was so thrilled when I figured this out last year, but it turns out I’d heard it on Hell’s Kitchen before that). *…
I need a hobby
I need something to do as a hobby. I like to read. I like to watch movies. I loooove to write (you don’t say, Elaine!). But I need a new hobby that’s not reading online baby forums, reading infertility/baby/mommy blogs*, looking at baby gear online. Plan B is over and it was all for nothing…
Where have I BEEN?
I guess it’s been awhile since I posted, huh? That said, my birthday weekend w/ Mom feels like it happened months ago. I think that part of why I haven’t written lately is that I am still upset that Kansas lost to Northern Iowa. I mean, Northern Iowa??? That game happened when Mom was in…
They say it’s my birthday
(da-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh) Well, okay, it’s actually not til Monday, but today was my last day of work. Until Tuesday, anyway (a girl can dream! Told Gene that if we won the lottery I’d be off work a lot longer and that my first phone call would be to Gwen and the second would be to Dr….
