Marketing Secrets Revealed By Lotion

Mike and I have a favorite argument at about 1:30am. I’ll be spaced out on the couch watching an infomercial, for some big thing that you sit in or on or by, or just light and put on the counter, that makes you skinny. I will say something like, “I need that. That looks serious. […]

Homeland Security

I am still in shock because I haven’t really been able to celebrate, print, or otherwise laud the success of finishing my novel. The champagne is stuck in the fridge, waiting for my dad to get home from work before midnight…
So we’ll get to that later.
In case you are one of those crazy, pro-war, scared […]

Support my Lumbar

I didn’t know I had a lumbar, but now I’m worried about it survival. Apparently having a lap top makes you type in all uncomfortable crazy places and positions, then you get in a car, and GASP! - it has no lumbar support, and then, your back is broken.
So, if you could - I […]

In other news

A saying I like these days…in other news. Because it’s (almost) un-novel-related.
TWO THINGS:
POINT THE FIRST: I just realized why I like Starbucks. And Cafe Caffeine. Whatever - um, when I ask for coffee, and do you have AMARETTO, don’t look at the manager. And when you’re the manager, don’t say “I think there is some […]

From the article snippy referenced: (whole thing here: gawker
We’ve always been unimpressed with the people who trumpet their participation in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), which as far as we can tell involves telling everyone you know (usually via your blog) that you’re writing a novel in a month, woohoo, way to go you. Seriously, […]

Robbed.

I’m pretty sure that some fighting words will be going down. I did some paperwork and realized that although my old job owed me for 10 days of work, they only paid me half that. I fear that’s from the dishonest boss that kept me a week longer than I was supposed to be there. Grrr. […]

Types with Feet

It’s a good thing that I don’t type with my feet, or I’d be out of a job.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Last night was fun. Things were fine. Unfortunately the green team took the game seriously. Shame on them. It was so silly. This lady, yes ME, got a triple and scored a run.
We only lost 6-3. […]

Strategery

Thanks, guys. I had another record day yesterday. That whole shallow promise of a good blog must of had you going. You come in faith to see what the good story is, and much to your dismay - but not much to your surprise - nothing.
Nada.
No good story.
Back to BFF’s blog. SHE tells funny stories.
This […]

Permanent Contest

I spent approximately 4 hours last night reading months of a blog history that I really liked. However, the consistent misspellings of very simple words has resulted in the following announcement.
If you note any errors in my posts and let me know, if I ever make money again, I will give you a dollar.
Typos are […]
