One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, “Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in Slim Fast. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!!” His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn’t let such a comment go unrewarded. The next morning the [...]
It’s that time of the year again … close to Spring. Even though we just had 6″ of snow yesterday, I feel the Spring bug hitting me. Spring is my time of creation and inspiration (and eagerness to get one of the Corvettes out of the garage and just drive). Due to all the creative [...]
I went up to the Bookworm’s Exchange on Saturday and had a long talk with Bev. She gets so bogged down with books so I’ve offered to sell some on Amazon for her, in exchange for audio book rentals and a book for me to read here & there. She’s thinking about it … but [...]
Boy have I had it! I won a freelance project from one of those sites that I belong to … the guy’s a lawyer. If I had known that, I probably wouldn’t have bid. First off, he is too busy to read the message board (this is the way buyer & service provider communicate). He [...]
Why is it that you bid on project work for what seems forever … and then are overburdened with projects? I am going to be working a LOT this week! Audiobooks: From Simply Audiobooks, I received Gregory Maguire’s Wicked … an Oz tale. I also have (somewhere!) Son of a Witch. Also from Simply Audiobooks, [...]
With all the sports news about lately, I must admit that I’m shocked that Shaq’s moving to Phoenix. I know Miami’s tanking this year, but Dwayne Wade is a great player – he just needs to sit down and really heal up! I have questioned Pat Riley’s decisions since the season ended last year – [...]
So I just got home after staying an extra day at my parents. Let’s see … I did a bunch of project work and got a referral customer out of it already booked, I played The Adventure Company’s game Keepsake and relaxed. Speaking of games … and Oblivion withdrawl … only kidding! In the past, [...]
Today is the day that I think of my past days at Vermont Teddy Bear and extend my heart out to all those still there. With V-Day being the largest holiday for the business, there are some real long hours for V-Day. From the President down to the lowliest employee, all are on the phones [...]
Hard to believe it’s been a week since writing! I’m currently camped out at my parents house while they are doing the surgery thing up in the northern part of the state, up in no-man’s land. Dad’s surgery was postponed a day, so he had it done today. Just got off the phone with Mom. [...]
Boy there’s been a lot of gloom & doom news around the family lately. I know it’s no one’s fault – it’s just a sign of getting older and some bad genetic disposition. Over the holidays, I found out that one of my 3 cousins, and my only female cousin, has cervical cancer. Her whole [...]
