In which it is really entirely too damned nice outside. The weather is gorgeous. Breezy, warm, balmy, just gorgeous. The lawns have turned emerald green in the past three days. I’m wearing a strappy backless hippy dress, people. It’s wonderful. It also makes me fear for the upcoming summer. It’s only March and it’s acting […]
In which no news is good news! Today at work I’m listing some of the company’s extraneous hardware on eBay. It’s pretty fun, but the boss is out of the office right now so I don’t know if he wants me to put reserves on the switches or not. Next I’ll be meticulously unfucking a […]
In which I accentuate the positive! (Yes, I’m feeling much better today.) It’s so nice outside today that I can barely stand myself. I’ve been sitting on the porch in the sun, reading. It’s so lovely! I’ve finished the back of my sweater, and I am in the process of finishing the front. I’ve used […]
In which the weather outside is frightful. No one has called (or emailed) to offer me a job today. This makes me sad. It’s been snowing since yesterday. We have a winter storm watch in effect until six o’clock. I swept off the porch and it’s cold and shitty out. My friend Snow needs a […]
In which it’s arrived. Winter. It’s totally here. The weather’s turned, and the town’s slick with ice and snow. It’s doing a half snow/half rain thing right now, no wind, the flakes falling straight down and hitting the ground with an eerie and surrounding shhhrrrr sound. I went to the grocery store with AmmZon earlier, […]
In which I didn’t go to jail. I have made $0.07 from my Google AdSense ads so far. (That’s about $25 a year. Whee.) Go, me. It’s getting c-c-cc-cold here. I am not diggin’ it. I much preferred yesterday’s chinook, in which I wore a long-sleeved cotton t-shirt and was comfortable, but right now there’s […]
In which we heard a tornado siren and everything. Bread and BoSe were out this afternoon canvassing but came back to the hotel when water was sheeting over their rig and the hail was marble-sized. We watched the weather on cable until it cleared up, then I went back out with them to finish canvassing […]
In which IT’S ALIVE. And weather. And I’m driving the Big Black Truck. The conjunctivitis in my right eye is all cleared up now. However, the condition has moved to my left eye. So I’m still wearing my glasses, which totally sucks. And not in a good way. The weather last night was awesome. When […]
In which the mild is over. I just saw a girlfriend and sat in my car chatting with her while I wolfed down an extremely late lunch of two crispy bean tacos and fresh-squeezed lemonade. We traded gossip. I had two bits of gossip, neither very juicy, and she didn’t really have any, but we […]
In which I really like the weather. One thing Iowa does really well is thunder storms. They roll in, big and black and impressive, and they make loud thunder and bright lightning and it rains like hell, and it’s green and lush and warm and I really dig it. It’s tropical and sexy. We had […]
