A rhetorically brilliant sign, stretching myself as emcee, a close call with convenience, & coffee..

~Monday~  I caught the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus this morning and was pleased to get a seat. A young lady with enough luggage with her that it could have easily taken up the seat next to her—and in fact it later did when the seat became available—sat across from me. At one point, with … Read more

A Sunday secret, a cover-up FAIL, a taxing day, an ASB celebration, & drinks out…

~Sunday~  I was up at about 8:30, put on a pot of coffee, and made two sausage-egg-and-cheese sandwiches for breakfast for us. I liked this PostSecret because it’s a reminder that always being responsible (which I have been most of my life) is not necessarily the best thing: Shortly after Robert left to head back … Read more

A mental health day, a new workout, a “too soon” April Fool’s joke, & hanging out at the library…

~Friday~  I took a mental health day off work today and gloriously slept in until almost noon. I carried my ass to the gym (How Southern!) at 1:00, where I did 200 ab crunches and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, changing from my long-time exercise option of “Hill” to the one that said, “Cardio.” … Read more

20 questions…

Rule #1: The tagged person must write their answers on their blog and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. The tagee must state who tagged them. I was tagged by Jen Riehle, over in her blog, to do this. If you have pets, do you see them as merely … Read more

Losing $395.52, oblivious bozos in line, and an incredible Idina Menzel & the NC Symphony concert…

~Thursday~  I drove to work today, as I wanted to be able to run to the post office during the day to meet the deadline of getting my NC Flexible Health Care Spending Account reimbursement submission post-marked today, as required. After one final check with my dentist’s office, I had to remove a significant—$189.00—entry, as … Read more

Much ado about a cell phone, sleepy bus drivers, lunch w/Susan, and an annoying dance night…

~Wednesday~  I was up at 6AM and down to the city bus stop at 6:45. When the bus hadn’t come by 6:54, I drove over to the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride (AFFLP&R), and when I arrived there found my cell phone missing. Thinking I must have dropped it inside my house when … Read more

Return of the NEMATOMOBILE, a D-I-Y car repair, prisoner work, exercising, coffee, & scareyoke…

~Monday~ I worked from home this morning, and at lunch time I headed over to Thompson Collision Repair to pick up my car. My first stop was at Enterprise to turn in my rental, and from where I received a ride to Thompson by a man who had a chauffeur look to him and was … Read more

A mess of a secret, a surprise Salon XX, and questionable entertainment…

~Sunday~  I slept until almost noon. Go me. I found three, count ’em three, PostSecret postcards compelling out of this week’s collection, all for very different reasons: For Three Misspellings and Atrocious Sentence Structure All in a 30-Word Postcard Because it Made Me Think of Something that I’m Having Trouble Articulating Here, so I’m Just … Read more
