The Tests…
I went to the hospital this morning for my veneous and arterial doppler. I got there extra early, but fortunately they were able to move me through pretty fast. My first test was at 9:30, but I was ready for it by 9:05! When I went in to radialogy for the dopplers, [...]
No More Dancing For Me…
In addition to my recent disco injury, which effected my left leg last week, this week I’ve been having problems with my right leg. Earlier this week, I fell asleep sitting upright in my favorite Ikea chair – with the laptop on my lap – a skill I have mastered by taking the bus [...]
I Am the Dancing Queen…
A few weeks ago I came across a CD for sale at the local Half Price Books. It was “The Best of Disco” and it was full of 21 wonderful disco hits. 21 of the best sounds of the era. It is awesome, and I love it.
So last Sunday night, I finally [...]
Getting Scripty!
I wish I had the time to implement all of the things I want to do on this blog, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen any time soon. I did want to point out two noteworthy things over at Scriptygoddess though – how to keep yourself from turning in to a [...]
Crazy Wishing…
Every time I see the latest Gap ads, I think about how much I really love the crazy fair isle scarf. I know I live in Houston, and it doesn’t get that cold here so I don’t really need it, but I really love that scarf!
What ads have been pulling you in so far [...]
Have Some Deep Impact!
Sometimes it’s the little things that amuse me the most. Want to have be a part of a Deep Impact? Then Send Your Name to a Comet! Fill out the form with your name, and NASA will add it to the impactor spacecraft that will collide with Tempel 1. How cool [...]
Looking for the Perfect Gift?
Looking for the perfect gift for that special someone in your life? Maybe your former boss, or your ex-husband? Pick up a kit at Subversive Cross Stitch and share with them the love that you feel! I know I’ve got my eye on that “Go Fuck Yourself” kit for that special someone [...]

How Did I Miss This?
In case you ever wondered about all that spam that you receive (I promise, *I* did NOT send it to you!), this guy has created a blog to track his testing to find out the answer to the ultimate question … Do Penis Enlargement Pills Work?
I’m laughing so hard I’ve got tears in my eyes…

Make it Stop!
Now the freak spammers are not only using blahblahblog.com to send out spam, but they have started using the Picture Yourself domain too. I’ve got hundreds of over FOUR THOUSAND bounce messages, which just started 3 days ago, in the inbox there. (Yes, I moved them *all* into one folder so I could [...]
Tiaras ROCK!
Emily did a great job coordinating yet another wonderful Tiara Happy Hour yesterday! I came home to pick up Kymberlie (I was her designated driver for the night), and then we headed back in to downtown for a night of silly fun with the girlies! Tiaras and all!

Maybe I Should Just Let it Be…
I’ve been listening most of the morning to The Beatles 1, which is a collection of their #1 songs. 27 songs, and I love almost all of them. But I just don’t get “Yellow Submarine”. Why was that song a hit? Is there something obvious that I am overlooking? [...]
Regular Rambling to Resume Shortly…
My regular rambling will resume here later tonight. Right now I’m busy figuring out what I’m going to wear to Em’s latest Tiara Happy Hour tomorrow night and planning out how I’m going to get Kymberlie into downtown. If you’re in Houston, come and join us – tomorrow at 7pm, Flying Saucer on [...]
Really? Who Would have Guessed?
Michael Jackson to be charged with child molestation
Get out. Really? And here we all thought those sleepovers at the Neverland Ranch were just so innocent. Yeah, riiiiiiiiiight. [Via Jenni]
Just my Opinion…
To the spammers who decided to use blahblahblog.com for the past week to send out spam, flooding me with bounced messages:
You SUCK.
And Today the Sky is Blue…
I really should just start a weather category for this blog, because Houston’s weather is too exciting not to write about it. Yesterday we had a freak storm with 13 tornados. For those of you that like to chase tornadoes – you would have been screwed. No tornado chasing here because the [...]

Beautiful Fun…
Remember cutting out paper snowflakes when you were in school? I love snowflakes – matter of fact, my Christmas tree always ends up with a ton of snowflake ornaments – I can’t get enough of them. So I’ve now made countless “paper snowflakes” online, thanks to Make-a-Flake Wheeee! What fun! [...]
The Little Things…
I’ve met a number of people participating in the Urban Tribes Virtual Book Tour in person – mainly at SXSW. They are all wonderful and amazing people, and genuinely really nice. Even still – my heart skips a beat when I see my name on Matt Haughey’s site. He is the latest [...]
Wooooooooooo!
It is about freakin’ time! One of my all time favorite movies EVER is Woo and they are FINALLY releasing it on DVD! Yes, Woo. Woooooo! I laugh to the point of tears every time I watch this movie. Matter of fact, even though I am weak and [...]
