I picked up two books on hold at the library today, “Simply Homemade Food Gifts” and “I Don’t Know What I Want, But I Know It’s Not This: A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Gratifying Work.” That about says it all.
The pre-Christmas blues have started early and have morphed into complete disgust, due in no small [...]

I can’t believe the Thanksgiving Day Parade was Rickrolled. I don’t even know what to think of that, but I do know that Rick Astley looked fantastic.

Thanksgiving is a special time with special memories for so many of us. For me, the most vivid holiday has to be Thanksgiving 2005, my first time cooking the big meal. And it wasn’t the first-time nerves that were most memorable. No, the moment that stays forever in my mind is that second when the [...]

Honestly, what is the big deal about LeBron James? King James? Really? I fail to see the magic. Perhaps I am just an old cranky lady, but in my day, we had Michael Jordan. And this guy is no Michael Jordan.

When Blair Betts scores a goal, and no one else is here to celebrate, do I still scream and clap like a maniac? You may have been wondering this, I may have been wondering this myself, but I (and my neighbors) have an answer. In related news, my throat hurts.
Yesterday I had so much cheese. [...]

Why do I continue to find this terrible character so funny? It’s all Ludacris. He’s almost as perfect as Phil Hartman in “Chopping Broccoli.”

I’m thinking about having an auction. Like they do with dead famous people, where all of their stuff, great and not so great, is up for bid. So you get their books, shoes, dead pens, old letters. Only – and this is the good part – instead of how it is with dead people, the [...]

Is it wrong to go to bed before 10PM on a Friday night? Yes. Yes, it is. But I am going to do it anyway.

Today, a man at work called me Ms. OrrDonnell. I’ve never imagined hyphenating, or changing my name at all, but I like this compromise a lot. You know, were I marrying someone named Orr. This is a highly unlikely scenario, though, so I am sticking with my original plan to keep my perfect name.

When you find someone interesting mainly because they are paying attention to you, when they stop paying attention to you, shouldn’t you stop finding them interesting? So far, that isn’t the way it’s working.
I am not sure yet if this is a good tactical move, but I am pretty sure I don’t like it.

Today I didn’t punch anyone in the throat, and boy did I want to. I hope for the same level of restraint tomorrow.

On Saturday, I joined the library. I am loving it so far. It’s approximately 12 billion times more convenient than it was when I last used it. I borrowed a true crime book written by the Fatal Vision dude, a collection of Roddy Doyle stories and a documentary that I’ve never even heard of, which [...]

I don’t know how you’re spending your Sunday evening, but I am having the horrors of “27 Dresses” foisted upon me.
“I’m sorry her name is Jane,” Dollie said.
“I’m sorry that we learned her name is Jane by watching this movie,” I replied.
I mean, honestly.

We were channel changing last night and hit Miley Cyrus on “The Tonight Show” and after about 15 seconds I started screaming for Dollie to change the channel. I don’t know what it is about that Cyrus child, but I find her so hateful and horrible. She was making my skin crawl. Does anyone else [...]

Tonight I went to a work thing where they handed out free wine. I suggest that work do this every night. It made me very agreeable and enjoyant. There was a show at work and I watched it and then I went to the bar in work (not too many people have a bar in [...]

This morning on the channel 11 morning news, they played “Chickenhead” over a preview of the next segment (because Linda Church was going to make chicken, of course). That’s Project Pat’s “Chickenhead,” just so you know we’re all on the same page. Best morning ever. Best lyric ever: “What? You need some gum.”
Speaking of liking [...]

Wait, so Gomez is out with a bad leg, the Rangers are playing with no fire against a half-assed Devils team, we’re down 1-0 and I have to watch the Devils feed of the game because MSG is showing the Knicks? That’s it. I’m drinking.

You’ll meet someone you don’t like today — but try to be open-minded about them.
This hasn’t happened yet today, but I am staying tuned.
