They pander to the lowest level of intelligence. It bugs.

Old houses are annoying. But charming. But...
I think our second painting project is done. We had the front door and bedroom door fixed today, and a few little touchups. I get really cranky when there are people working on our house, so I will be glad for the break. Get out, strangers! Here’s your check, leave me be. Up next is installing outside lights (security) and alarming each and every window (security). These projects...
I hope my beloved New Yorkers are ready for the...
Andy is staying put, snarking at the drama, and drinking Dark and Stormies in honor of Irene. Abbs is hoping the experience is more cozy and fun rather than annoying and awful. Samantha is probably living at the city government offices all weekend, working on any chaos that may ensue.
I will be watching the weather news from drought-stricken-cracked-dry-ground Texas. Just a drop of rain down...

This kitty is up for adoption at the Humane Society of Huron Valley, MI. Poor guy had such bad ear mites that he scratched his own ears off, and he also lost an eye. He’s apparently super cuddly and affectionate. He chirps!
I hope he finds a home. This shelter lets you name your own price for all adult cats. I would take him home if my own evil cat wouldn’t traumatize him even...
Is this week over yet?
Been in regional meetings all week eating peanut M&Ms and diet coke and now I feel like shit. So I had some wine tonight because that will help…Not really…
I anticipate being really tired tomorrow. Likely whiney as well.

I really wish it would rain here.
I realize that is an extreme understatement considering we have been in a drought for 10 months.
But, just wishin’…

Wheeeee, it's Friday night...
I enjoyed left over pasta and Girl Scout cookies and petit sirah for dinner. Watching some taped Bachelor Pad garbage. RELAXING my mind.
I had my first LASIK pre-op appointment today.
I have been out of contacts for 2 weeks, and my eye measurements had changed significantly. Some docs don’t even require that! It’s crazy that you could have a totally botched surgery if you don’t take a contact hiatus before measurements.
The Shelter Pet Project cartoon commercials are...
Thoughts: Most Eligible Dallas
-Poor intro, kinda boring, and the cast came off lame. Maybe they are, maybe Bravo could have used some better footage. Matt Nordgren is a nice guy, from what I’ve heard.
-Agreed, Dallas is the smallest big city there is. Everyone knows ya biz. If you are in the scene, that is. I used to be in that scene, courtesy of my formerly VIP room loving husband. We are now dog loving...
I broke into a new box of frozen Thin Mints...
We still have one box each of Samoas, Tagalongs, and Trefoils. I will be eating them until it is time to order again.

Of course, I'm not eating a healthy fruit...
I have been consciously trying to make a dent in the ridiculous amount of Girl Scout cookies we ordered this year. Every night, I dial it down by 2 or 4 or 6. Frozen, not frozen, these things don’t get stale. But I wish they would disappear already.
Tonight I’m eating Samoas. They tend to be one of my favorites.

My husband is starting school, and things are...
Matt had his orientation for the EMBA program Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I attended the Spouse Orientation on Saturday. It was basically a panel of alumni and their spouses telling us how hard it will be, and how we will never see our spouses for 2 years, and giving advice on how to handle the house, the family, all the errands, cooking, etc by yourself. Because getting your student spouse...
My boss rode with me today.
He is really quite nice, I just freak out when field rides come due. The pressure of being graded and all that.
Anyway, he is Pakistani, immigrated here at a young age, and is about to adopt a baby girl from Pakistan. He has a lovely wife (also Pakistani), and 2 boys aged about second grade and preschool. Apparently Pakistan will only inter-country adopt if you are from there. They are...

Etsy Shop of the Week: Red Tile Studio
thegirlsoflincolnpark:
We came across this lovely mother/daughter shop out of Dallas, Texas and had to share! This duo team creates unique pieces of art that reflect their love of nature and modern design. The name Red Tile was inspried by a Spanish 1930’s bungalow where all of their artwork is created, under a Red Tiled Roof. Hope you enjoy their shop as much as we do! Cheers! - GOLP

Might make this for dinner tonight…
Tomorrow is Sunday already. Waaaaaahhhhhh.
And my boss rides with me next week, so I am feeling the beginning of the week anxiety early. Breathe, sip of wine, chill…
