Things for which my sister is too tall.
Over the last couple of months that I’ve been visiting my family (it’s been an extended visit, what can I say?), I’ve discovered a growing list of things for which my sister is too tall. They include, but are not limited to: Disney World (starting with the tram from the parking lot, and including many…

Horror Hotel VINDICATION
So, the AWESOME HOTEL where E and I wound up not staying now has put pending charges on my account that amount to FOUR NIGHTS worth of stays… when we didn’t even stay ONCE. I understand that they charged me for ONE night, since I didn’t cancel until 8pm (because I didn’t want to get…

Toiletgeddon 2012, or I Got My Parents a New Bathroom for Christmas. (The exploding toilet saga.)
So here we are. It is December 5 and I finally have a story for you. I’ve already told it partly on twitter, but feel that it should be EXPLAINED. Here it is, as I wrote it, commentary added as needed. ….. Monday. 3:28pm: Twitter I just got attacked by a TOILET. 3:40pm: Seriously, there…

Important Life Lesson: Use Caution with Dehydrated Foods
Thing I learned tonight: No matter how tempting it may seem, it is NOT, in fact, a good idea to try and eat a spoonful of dehydrated* potato flakes. Even if you just want to see what they taste like. Even if it’s not an entire spoonful. They stick to the roof of your mouth. For…

The other day I got home from the zoo, went to take a shower, and came back to find one of the kitties playing with my phone. I tried to take a photo of her, but it didn’t work, so I left again… but I the camera feature stayed on it seems and the kitties…

Wednesday Tea Fail
Today I had Tea Fail. I’ve been making loose-leaf tea for breakfast lately because I can tweak it a little more to my tastes. This morning I came downstairs and put the kettle on to boil, then went to check my email. When it started to whistle, I got up and flipped the lid to…

Playing with autocorrect
Let’s have some fun with my phone’s autocorrect, shall we? My computer and I are having a fight tonight so I’m posting this from my phone. I’m going to tell you about my day and not fix the things my autocorrect feature says… starting now: Today I went to the commissary to get a few…

Field trip to the vet
I guess you could say I’ve had a productive day. Of sorts. I was up late last night for no particular reason (well, I was decorating Easter eggs pretty late, so there’s that) and noticed that Caspian’s ears felt very hot to the touch, so I called the vet. Our vet is open 24 hours a…

The Story About the Beetles
Well, my Christmas tree is finally in its box, in the garage where it belongs. It went there on Saturday. Yes, I know it’s March. Yes, I know Christmas was 2 1/2 months ago. And I tried, I really and truly tried to put it away. December 30th I actually started pulling down all of…

I broke the grocery store.
For years my mother has teased me (in a good-natured manner) about having a metal plate in my head. This is because a seemingly large portion of the time electronics (especially cash registers) are, well, screwy around me. Screwy? Yes. They freeze, they jam, they just don’t work and no one knows why. I also tend…
