arachnophobia

I think I am developing full blown arachnophobia.
That’s “fear of spiders”, for all of you out there who need to brush up on your Latin.
Some of you may recall my experience with insomnia and spiders a few days ago.  It was very strange and VERY frightening.  I concluded that the spider in that [...]

moving

When my sister moved from Texas to Boston, she hired a moving service.  That was, I think, the first time our family has hired moving trucks.  We are definitely old school.  When my sis moved to and from college, and later, when I moved to and from college, we borrowed a friend’s pickup truck and [...]

lawyers

I’ve never really had a lawyer.  Never needed a lawyer.  A couple of times in college, I consulted a lawyer about some educational issues, but not enough to actually PAY for his expertise.   My mom met some good lawyers once when she had jury duty.  Hopefully I’ll never need a lawyer.  But, for [...]

I love rain, and it’s a good thing too… tonight we got plenty of it!
Dad and I went out for dinner tonight.  Mom is working late, so we went to Chic Fil A for dinner.  Yum!
It was POURING rain when we got there.  Since we were parked next door, we had to run across the [...]

business loans

I’m thankful that for my “mini” small business, I’ve never had to seek a business loan.  I don’t think business loans are bad, by far… I am just glad that I have been able to avoid that debt.
But there’s a reason I call my small business a “mini” business.  It is really, REALLY small!  It’s [...]

i love being single… usually…

I’m single.  I don’t have a boyfriend.  I haven’t dated a whole lot during my lifetime, though usually because guys aren’t asking me out.  It has taken me a long time to become okay with this.  When I was younger, I was self conscious and made silly assumptions like “the reason guys aren’t asking me [...]

stories from titles

I was thinking yesterday about what a great exercise it would be to write stories from titles… take some random words, put them together, and write a story to fit the title.  Like… “Faster, Better Stronger”.. of “Stolen Innocence”… or “Surefire Saint“.
See, I used to be a high school English teacher.  I quit because I [...]

my tabs… i lost my tabs!!!

Firefox 3 has this fantastic new feature.  Anytime I close FF, it asks me “Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for your next session?”  I love this feature.  I always say yes.  Every night, I shut down my computer with the assurance that my tabs will be waiting for me the next morning.
This [...]

tonight’s plans

Soon I’ll be leaving to go over to my friend Stephanie’s apartment.  Sorry, she doesn’t have a blog.
She and I are going to watch The Love Letter with Campbell Scott and Jennifer Jason Leigh.  It is definitely one of my top five favorite movies.  Plus, let’s be honest, Campbell Scott is hot.  I wish I [...]
