I’ve prided myself for being an excellent judge of character for a good long time, but I am sad and horrified to learn that just might not be the case. Do you remember Amy? The sad friend of the Teen who was being neglected and mistreated by her divorced parents; neither of whom wanted her? Something [...] We leave tomorrow on our “working vacation”. I’m nowhere near ready. Can you tell I’m not looking forward to it? Hubby said much the same thing last night as we sat in the living room, not packing. It wouldn’t be so bad, but the kids will be along, and there is nothing worse than driving long [...]
Dear Spammers, Die. Best Regards, Jenn P.S. 6WS visitors – thanks for stopping by! I will return the visit, but can only leave a comment if you have Name/URL enabled on your [...] Was buzzing about in town today, getting some errands taken care of, and noticed something disturbing. Seemed everywhere I looked, someone, somewhere, had a cigarette either in hand or hanging out of their mouth. It boggles the mind – well, mine anyway – how people can still be hooked on this filthy habit in this day [...] A few letters to sum up the month I’ve been having so far (and it’s only the middle… yikes). Are you mentioned in them, Reader? Tell me it’s not so! Dear Clod, Can I call you Clod? Clod, when you called my cell phone at 4:24am yesterday and woke me from a much-needed slumber, I was annoyed. That [...] I’m going to whine, so be warned. Yesterday I had my 2 month checkup at the Lasik MD clinic where I had PRK laser surgery in February. You all know by now that it hasn’t been going all that well, so I was pretty ticked off walking in there. At the front desk as I checked [...] Last night as I was tidying up I came across a crumpled piece of what I thought was scrap notebook paper, laying on the floor in the hallway. Odd place for someone to be chucking garbage, I thought, somewhat annoyed. Opening the paper, I realized it was a “quiet note” – you remember those, right? Where [...] Something unsavory has been going on in our larger choral group that we sing with lately. We are a great group of about 55 voices. Strangely enough, out of that nice number, only 5 are tenors (including John-Boy), and out of that 5, only 4 are men (um, also including J-B!). That leaves, of course, one [...] Oh my GOD – Facebook is BROKEN!! How will we fill our time? What will we do? Oh, there it is. [...] I’ve been very quiet in here lately, and late on a few things that normally I’m very “on top of”. I’ll have to chalk it up to stress – I have a huge contract that I’m trying to complete, which spans the entire country, and finding people for it has proven… problematic. I am looking for [...] I’m going to switch gears for a minute and talk about something that has been bothering me for years. For a long time I’ve found toddler beauty pageants disturbing. I can’t be the only person who clearly sees how destructive and, well, evil it is for these disgusting, socially retarded people to dress innocents up like [...] I just got the most offensive chain letter. Not offensive in that it was chock full of contorted naked bodies or foul language, but just in the form that it took, and that it implies that people around you (or you yourself) will be horribly killed if you don’t spam everyone you know with it’s sappy, [...] I cannot believe how annoyed I am right now. I have always extolled the virtues of using Google – I love my Google tool page, and use it all day long. But today… today they seriously ticked me off. When I post a Mosaic Monday post, I always make a point of visiting each and every person [...] The Teen knows she must call every few days, except when she’s out on the ships. She knows this. She went to summer training in Nova Scotia with not one, but *three* calling cards. She agreed to call home, and call her grandmother, at least twice a week to touch base with us. This is what [...] Arriving at my van this afternoon after grocery shopping, and finding not one but two advertisements shoved under my windshield wiper really got under my skin. They must have worked hard to get those papers seated; my wipers, when inactive, nest deeply down into the window well. This annoys me to no end, and without exception, [...] I just spent the last 2 hours watermarking all the images I’ve used on my blog to date, due to the sheer numbers of people showing up via Google Images. I’m flattered that they like them enough to want to click on them, but it concerns me that they may also be grabbing them for their [...] I don’t have a sponsor. I just like that line ;) It’s been a while since I posted anything that was just about ME. Mostly it’s because… well, while I do adore talking (and writing) and sometimes I wonder if it’s just to see/hear myself do it, I don’t talk about myself all that much. Probably a [...] Ok, I’m seriously, seriously bummed out here. Little one just brought me the nth tiny doll with long hair to put a pony tail on, and I asked her if it was a McDonalds happy meal toy. She didn’t know, so I flipped it over to look at the fine print. Hrm. Can’t see it all [...] Still an enormous amount of mourning going on over Michael Jackson. Tribute websites and Facebook groups popping up. Constant news coverage, the likes of which we have not seen since 9/11 (understand here and now that I am not comparing the two events in any way), extolling his virtues. Mourning the loss of a legend. People [...] |

Blogger comment peeve
I try hard to make a point of visiting everyone involved in any particular meme each week – sometimes (like the past couple weeks, when free time was a commodity I did not have) I fall short, and for that I apologize! I try to spend some quality time and really take in the meaning of [...]
