If you know me, and/or have followed me that long, you may remember, some years ago, when my fluffy little ball of Fuck You, Mochi, bit my hand numerous times when I was trying to get her out from under the futon (where Leo had chased her just for the fun of it – Loved…

Remember my gas range trauma? Some of you suggested I call the gas company for help. Turns out, in our area, the power company does not come out and check on things for free.  If you want their help, you have to sign up for a monthly program (and you have to sign up for…

By “it”, I mean the appliances that reside in this house we bought. As you may recall, the microwave went snap/smoke/boom on us after a few uses. The house came with a gas stove and double oven.  Oh boy. Have I ever mentioned how afraid I am of gas appliances – in particular gas appliances…

Yesterday, I was just a miserable mean crabby fat old lady. Today, started out just a miserable fat old lady – but then my sister Karon called and I joined her and her husband and my nephew for breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Sadly, my dear husband couldn’t join us because he was working;…

I don’t know what is wrong with me today.  I just woke up super irritated at EVERY FUCKING THING. Took my shower – still pissed off. Got dressed – still pissed off. At my breakfast – still pissed off. Drank my coffee – still pissed off. And as hard as I thought about it, I…

I know.  I missed posting (yet again).  Sorry (about |–| much).  Our stuff FINALLY arrived on Saturday.  So as you can imagine we are in a frenzy of unpacking, and up to our respective tits in empty boxes, packing paper, packing tape, and unpacked boxes.  What seemed like amazing organization at the time I packed…

Hold onto your butt’s y’all, because you ain’t heard nothing yet. Anyone who reads my blog knows about the love/hate relationship I have with Kaiser Permanente.  They are both the best and the worst. Well Kaiser doesn’t operate in Michigan – so, bye-bye Kaiser and hello Cigna. OMG. To commence your navigation through the rocky…

Faygo Pop.  OMG.  This stuff comes in every flavor – many not found in nature.  And they have diet versions too. Of course, diet soda is always risky.  Diet Coke – delicious. Diet Pepsi – ewwwww.  (And yet, I prefer regular Pepsi over regular Coke – go figure.) Diet Vernors – heaven (as long as…
