Most of my posts have been random rantings about various trivial events I find humorous. I don’t like to get too sentimental or too deep. But something very serious and very sad has happened, and I cannot at this time be trivial.My dear friend and once roommate Angela Lemaire died on Sunday, October 28th. Please [...]
“It’s Labor Day”
So, last night I was pumping gas. A gentleman who was walking past me said “How do like $3.09 a gallon?” I said “I don’t like it at all!” He then replied “Well, what are we gonna do?” I replied “It’s Labor Day!” You see, I was completely confused by his comment, until I realized what [...]
An ad…
Free to a good home:
A lovely pair of black spandex shorts. Only been worn once, and then immediately taken off. Past owner did not realize they were spandex when she purchased them from the clearance rack at Target. Past owner thought “ooh, nice. I could use these to work out.” Past owner immediately regretted the [...]
Public Service Announcement for 6/30/07
I suppose it’s time to update my reader (s) on what’s been going on in Anna Land. Well, besides what strange things are going on in my head. I wouldn’t even know how to get into that.
I am happy to say that I can once again hear out of my right ear. For those curious, [...]
Tattoo dreams
I had a dream last night that I got like 3 tattoos on my arm (I can’t remember which). One was a ring of flowers around my upper arm. I can’t remember what the second one was. The third one was all along my arm and it said “New Englander.” Note: I have never been [...]
“Huh?” Part II
The title of this post is a sequel to a post I wrote on Feb. 11th. If the rest of this post is to make any sense, please refer to the Feb. 11th post titled “Huh?” Actually, you don’t need to. But if you want, it would add spice to this post. Kind of like [...]
A “serious injury” story
OK, so here’s an example that we live in a sue-happy society:
At work tonight, I was rinsing out a soup can to put in the recycling bin. Stupidly I put my finger inside to get some of the remnants out. Anyway, I cut myself as I slid my finger past the sharp edge. It was just [...]
“Aha” Moments, case study #1
I was listening to the radio the other day, and this song came on. I think the band’s name is ELO and it’s probably circa 1972 or something. Anyway, I have been familiar with it for some time but had absolutely no clue what it means. I thought the lyrics in the chorus were “Believe [...]
Mother’s Day memory in the corner of my mind…
I just had a funny memory– I don’t know what precipitated it. But it’s too great not to share with whoever reads this.
Several years ago, my mother, sister and I attended our church’s annual Mother-Daughter Banquet. It was usually pretty sappy (any Eastsiders reading this?). Anyway, part of the night’s festivities included a slide show [...]
A “Dear Abby” Debacle
I’m not even sure I wrote that word in its correct context, but it sounded nice. Anyway, I was reading a “Dear Abby” column from about a week ago, and stumbled onto this doosy (I’ll paraphrase so as not to make it too long):
“Dear Abby,
I have a 4-year old…he acts up…nothing working, such as timeouts…so [...]
