Carbs & Mental Health, or The Next Time You See Me I May Be Wigged Out
Rich and I are going on Atkins for a month, starting tomorrow. We’re doing this because we have to do something, and Atkins sounds like a plan we could actually live with, if we decide to. I had always thought Atkins was kind of, you know, out there, with the no carbs and all that […]
Bad news for inflatable Tony fans
That’s fans of inflatable Tonys, not Tony fans who are inflatable. My local Albertson’s (now at Up to 90% Off All Merchandise, and what a cheery place it is, too) is all out of the 10-foot inflatable Tony Romos. I asked, and they said some guy came in and bought all the Tony Romo and […]
After the Ball Is Over, so to speak
Post Superbowl note: Rich spent most of his time at Cowboy Stadium, and almost all of the actual game, stationed on the Green Bay sideline, at the Green Bay 10 yard line. He did spend a little time in one of the tunnels, where he was almost run over by Jerry Jones. (Jones, not surprisingly […]
It’s Superbowl Sunday, and other facts
It’s 4pm on Superbowl Sunday and I’ve already had too much beer and nachos. Why, no, I’m not at Cowboy Stadium. I’m at home by myself. Why? Rich is at the Superbowl, working on the Game Day Frequency Coordination team. They’re wearing all black (NFL-supplied shirts and jackets, their own pants) and red baseball caps […]
Icepocalypse or Snowmageddon
Yes, we had rain. It converged with a major cold front, starting temperatures falling, so the rain turned to sleet, then eventually to snow. Highs are in the 20s, overnight lows in the single digits, with wind chills below zero. For two days now; one—maybe two—more to go. The DFW Metroplex is actually equipped to […]
Happy anniversary to me!
Five years ago, I was having a mastectomy. Actually, the surgery was at 2:15pm, so five years ago right this minute I was probably finishing up a pre-op appointment with the plastic surgeon (Hi, Dr. Heistein!). I believe my instructions were no food or water after midnight, so I was very thirsty and pretty tense. […]
Hello? Hello?
I have a bunch of really great topics that I plan to blog about, but only have time for a quick note right now. [Liar, liar, pants on fire, nose as long as a telephone pole.*] Yeah, well, anyway. I don’t think anybody besides me ever reads this blog, because there are virtually never any […]
Books
Yes, I know how long it’s been. I’ve spent a good portion of the day entering books into LibraryThing. It’s a good, free to cheap way to keep your personal library organized. I have trouble keeping track sometimes, particularly with business books (not the ones I’ve read, but the ones in the queue) and knitting […]
Connections
I’m reaching the deadline on a big project today, but I thought I’d jot this down before I forget it. An old friend, Lisa Bailey, did something really nice for me last week. (Really, really nice. I mean, WAY above and beyond). Besides feeling incredibly, eternally grateful, just thinking about her, emailing and talking to […]
We’re living for Tuesday afternoon
Reports from viewers of local CBS Channel 11 about today: Cold front coming in Tuesday afternoon. Supposedly after that we’ll be back around our normal temps for this time of year, mid-90s. Come on, Tuesday!!
