Wonder Dog, Wonderful Moments, Weather, and Work

This morning was really special to me. I woke up with Gunnar in my face. He was whining and grunting at me as I lay in bed. Usually he will do this if he has to pee (and with the nasty weather he hasn’t wanted to go out much) but he brought me right into [...]

Worst. Week. EVER.

It’s official. Do you ever have a day where you can almost see the black cloud that’s following you everywhere? This whole WEEK has been like that. I apologize in advance for any swearing I may or may not do in this post, as I have reached the very boundaries of my sanity and I [...]

If a Girl Falls in the Office…

…and no one hears her, did it really happen?
 
The most embarrassing thing just happened to me at work, and by some crazy miracle, no one even noticed. I cannot believe it.
 
To give a quick backstory – recently, they moved a new trainee into the office and sat her in the cube across from me. I [...]

Kinda Fuh-Reaky.

Leafing through the September/October issue of All You Magazine, I came across the horoscope page.
I’ve never put stock in horoscopes, but sometimes I read them for fun.
I don’t think I’ve ever read a truer horoscope, or felt it applied to me more than this one did.
Change is continuing to come to us. Good things are [...]

I’m going to actually DO something.

Okay. I’m going to do it. I’ve finally resolved to do the one thing I always dreamed of doing, my whole life.  I’m going to write a book.
 I’m sitting here at work, pissed off that I’m actually sitting here and having to do this stupid job. I’m operating on complete autopilot because I’m still pining [...]

My First Day Back

This is hell.
Im hit with a double whammy. I have to leave my precious baby AND I have to leave her to come here. To a job I never liked in the first place.
So today was my first day back. How’d it go? Completely unproductive. Crazy. Super depressing. I was completely unprepared for how I’d feel [...]

MERCY

I pride myself on my spotless driving record. I’ve never gotten a ticket. I try not to speed, I’ve never driven drunk, and I obey the traffic laws. My morning routine is usually a little crazy, but otherwise I like to think of myself as a pretty good driver.
 
This morning I’m driving to work, semi-erratically [...]

I think I’m over myself.

Okay. Now that I got my rant out of the way, I’ve figured out what I need to do. In order to make up the lost overtime without actually losing the hours I put in, I need to work from 7am to 6pm every day until next Thursday.
Can I actually do that? The champion supersleeper? [...]

I really hate snow today.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a fall and winter girl. I love Colorado, which is famous for it’s snow, and I love Nordic-print sweaters and fuzzy boots and downhill skiing. In fact, I cannot wait for our annual ski trip coming up. (Unfortunately I won’t be skiing, but I’ll still be hanging out with the [...]

It’s a Snow Day!

I haven’t had one of these in a long time. Growing up in upstate New York, I got used to the firs snowflakes falling sometime in November, and finally letting up around March or April, if we were lucky.
When they called for snow last night, I thought, “yeah right, maybe a dusting, and I’ll go [...]
