In which I go to school for software training. God, I love school. Today we had a training meeting for Xactimate, this software we’re using. It was not daunting. It’s complex software, certainly, but not rocket science. What I really want is a finished output document so I know what the goal is. We watched […]
In which I’m overheated, excited, a little stressed, and realizing how deep my poverty-consciousness goes. It’s unutterably hot and humid outside. I just had to walk to the bank and back because Bread’s got the big black truck. I’m all sticky. There’s a severe weather alert out for thunderstorms, and at lunchtime it turned dark […]
In which I’ll be in Indianapolis by Friday, for fuck’s sake. Somehow or another my husband managed to get us both hired to go to Indiana to do this contracting job; it’s basically a variant on insurance adjusting. It sounds like it’ll be ten hour days, six or seven days a week. Outside. In the […]
In which yes, as a matter of fact, I *will* shop for food. Truck needed some devices, so he called me for a day trip to Iowa City because if you wanna buy electronics? I’m yer bitch! We got out of town around noon, and AmmZon drove us straight to Best Buy like the speed […]
In which I learn a valuable lesson about stress and partnership, and a Friday that goes all the way into Saturday morning! After work last night, I went and had that nice cold cocktail. Yum. Then I jumped into the BBT and drove myself home, windows down, NPR on the radio. Friday! The weekend! Yes! […]

In which we celebrate a milestone! Today is our fifth wedding anniversary. BoSe arranged an impromptu barbeque. People came out to the farm. We ate, we butchered 24 lemons in pursuit of the perfect lemondrop martini, we socialized. Eight dogs ran around rolling in dead things and barking and humping each other (two of the […]
In which I’m getting advised. I’m working on an all-new look for the site and it’s all I care about. It’ll be brown! And retro! Can I get a hell yeah? Tonight I’m going to be spirtually advised. NLW is gonna graduate from her Spiritual Advisor program this weekend, but only if she gets in […]
In which I partied like it was 1999: all. night. long. Friday I rolled out of work at five and went straight to Amazon Blonde’s, where I made the Most Brilliant Batch of Pico de Gallo Ever while she made some really incredible guacamole. Then I smoked a cig with Truck on the back deck […]
