Cleaning House – The Drafts Addition
I have spent every New Year cleaning up the drafts section in WordPress, dumping the incomplete thoughts and half finished blogs in one, very long, post. I neglected to do that last year, and so here they are – the crumbs of the past, incomplete rants and raves, the drafts. They span the time all [...]
Househunting and snot
I woke up when I was supposed to be arriving at work this morning. That kind of threw me off, starting my day, staring at my phone, wondering why it forgot to wake me up. Oh. Yeah. It was in the living room when I was sleeping. And I never set the alarm. Go me. [...]
Bitter Pills
I love living in Portland, but the journey sure as hell hasn’t been easy. And now, let’s stack another one up for “David and Erica’s School of Hard Knocks.” We are now victims of the mortgage crisis. Better still, we have no recourse as renters in a house that is being pushed through the system. [...]
170 lbs of shame
We didn’t have our normal Biggest Loser workout. The show was delayed because of the stupid Blazers game. I hate professional sports. I always have, and for reasons like that – they ruin my shows. That and, wouldn’t it be more entertaining to go out and PLAY the fucking sport yourself? Instead you sit and [...]
After these messages
I have a shitton of writing to do and the deadline is today. I, Erica the MoodyMeow, am the queen of “the absolute last minute.” I think I should get a crown or something. While the dogs finish eating, a few quickies and I will leave you… Being a part-time vegetarian? I think being more [...]
Why am I always playing catch up?
This is bullet-form day. I rarely have time to blog anymore with my schedule. Work is nuts, all the time, which is a good thing. I’m never bored, but there are rarely lulls that would allow me to blog. And by the time I get home, I just want to unwind. The Best Compliment – [...]
A little bit of politic….s
Let me reiterate for the record: I’m very liberal, voting for Obama. I think Bill Richardson would make an excellent VP. I am very anti-war. That doesn’t mean I hate the troops, and if you want to come back at me with that argument, stick it up your ass. Being a military brat, and the [...]
I just got “laid off”
I’m numb. I will probably be out of touch for a few days so….. yeah.
Till tomorrow…
Flight leaves at 10. I will meet my schoolmates around 11 tomorrow morning. I just realized how much I’ve missed them. Thank you Amanda for the clarity. Thank you Cat, for a lovely evening, good conversation and being willing to go adventuring to new restaurants with me and D. We found Trebol, I heart that [...]
JFK is the 7th level of hell
I’m still here. Freezing, tired, unloved by my airline (we won’t get off the ground until 9:30am), and in dire need of a good shower and some understanding. And btw, don’t try to skeep on the floor – it just doesn’t work. I should have known we were in trouble when the gatekeepers in Charlotte [...]
Chicken Fat, yes, I said Chicken Fat
In my sad attempts to try and eat healthier, I went to Subway for lunch the other day. Chill. I wasn’t anywhere near Portland, otherwise I would have stopped in on one of my favorite restaurants. Every Wednesday I drive to Battle Ground for a meeting, during the lunch hour, and they don’t have much [...]
Keep god out of greeting cards
Let this be a warning…I’m on my “I can’t fucking stand self-important Christians who tread on hypocritical moral high ground” soapbox… Why? Because it’s pre-coffee time, I forgot my breakfast and I pissed at the world that I had to get out of bed this morning. Only someone who is painfully idiotic or completly unaware [...]
I forgot my glasses
I didn’t ride to work. I had nightmares all last night, and D said I woke him up screaming “I hate you!” in the middle of the night. My weeks is not starting off as smoothly as I’d hoped. The glasses thing really bugs the shit out of me. I can’t see. I’m going to [...]
Dayquil for days
Multiple days of being sick…again, have put me behind my deadline for school. I’m still under the weather, at work, and I think my fever just came back. I’ve been sick more since I got to Oregon than the whole time I was in Florida. I think Oregon is trying to kill me. Or tell [...]
Sunny, cold, and my lip is bleeding
I slept like the dead last night. Using the treadmill will do that for you, if you pull yourself out of your own way to get something done. One thing I haven’t done: laundry. It’s still in a pile, collecting animal hair, and serving as the comfiest bed to both beagle and feline. Wish I [...]
Oh yeah…
To the jackass that stole the pumpkins off my front porch: I hope they fell on your foot and fractured every bone in your toes. That’s what you deserve. Have a nice day.
While the onions cook
Still in the midst of deadline, this is a quick post while I cook. Our fireplace is toast. We can’t burn anything. The firebox itself is solid, but the chimney is falling apart. One strong wind, and we will lose bricks. That means I am very bitter. The heater died as well. After NW Natural [...]
Wow… what a bitch
I really can’t stand Anne Coulter. She’s a hateful skeeze, and the only reason she gets play on television is because she pisses everyone off. That’s entertainment! Why do people buy her books? Why would someone support a woman so full of hatred and disdain (in full disclosure – I haven’t read any of her [...]
If you’ve got ink, you can’t live here
Wow, they do things stupider in Texas, don’t they? If the person taking the rental application saw the tattoos to begin with, then why let them conintue with the process? And they took their money for the fee! Man, this makes me want to buy a house. I understand the argument between private property rights [...]
Tricksy Winds
It’s been cool here and some of the trees have started to take on the colors of fall. I love Portland. It’s supposed to get “hot” here tomorrow. All of 85…. god, I don’t miss Florida weather. *edit..they updated the weather. It’s going to be 90. I think Frankie cursed us. I’ll get him back* [...]
