Early to Rise

Saturday, February 28th, 2004

For the record, I am up on Saturday morning at 7:00 am writing in my blog. If only I could get up this early for work everyday!

Incredibly Stupid Moment

Saturday, February 28th, 2004

I had an incredibly stupid moment the other night. I was watching TV at my sister’s house and the news showed a photo of Hung Thanh Le as they were talking about his stay of execution. Anyway, all I saw was the name Hung and a guy who loosely resembled American Idol’s favorite reject, William [...]

Budgeting Blues

Friday, February 27th, 2004

I’m currently taking Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University through our church. And let me tell you, it’s a bit overwhelming to learn everything all at once. I say “learn” but he’s actually teaching us what has been done for years and putting it into his words. So today I spent a good amount of time [...]

Yes, I'm going to talk politics

Thursday, February 26th, 2004

I’m not much of a political person but wanted to share my thoughts nonetheless. This whole thing in the news about “Did President Bush fulfill his duty in the Air National Guard?” is so stupid. So stupid in fact, Doonesbury is offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can show proof. WHAT? Exactly.

Comebacks for Co-workers

Thursday, February 26th, 2004

Here are some snappy comebacks for co-workers if you ever need one:
How about never? Is never good for you?
I’m already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
I’ll try being nicer if you’ll try being smarter.
I don’t work here. I’m a consultant.
Who me? I just wander from room to room.
I’m not being rude. [...]

Stop the Quiznos Insanity

Wednesday, February 25th, 2004

One of the top marketing rules is to NEVER USE ANIMALS TO MARKET FOOD. What is wrong with Quiznos Sub? Not only do they pick an animal to market their subs, they pick disgusting mice…rats…hamsters…or whatever they happen to be… when they don’t even need a marketing campaign to sell their subs. Their food is [...]

Car Pet Peeves

Wednesday, February 25th, 2004

I’m driving down the street and all of the sudden I enter a land where two cars cannot drive down the street at the same time – even though it is clearly a 2 lane street. So I have to pull to the side to let the other car go first. The problem: EVERYBODY PARKS [...]

The Great Cat Annoyance

Monday, February 23rd, 2004

You would think that as many plastic bags as my cat, Spiderman, eats, he would be dead by now. It never fails that when I walk in from Target or Walmart with plastic bags, he finds them and eats ONLY the handle part off. Then he either throws them up or passes them in his [...]

Best Weekend Ever

Sunday, February 22nd, 2004

This weekend has been great so far! I have just stayed at home all weekend relaxing. I did watch a hillarious show on VH1 where comedians give their opinions about current pop news. It’s called “Best Week Ever”. In fact, they have their own Best Week Ever blog – check it out – interesting stuff. [...]

Sweet and Salty

Saturday, February 21st, 2004

Welcome to my first blog enty! I’m sitting here at work, drinking a Sprite and wishing I had some all-American, greasy, fat-drenched french fries. I can’t just drink something without having something salty to go along with it. Anyone else with me? This also goes for Frosty’s. If I order a Frosty, I want fries. [...]
