annoying mispronunciations + giveaway!
GIVEAWAY IS OVER!!! People mispronounce or misuse words/phrases all of the time. It’s not a felony or even a misdemeanor but sometimes it’s pretty darn annoying. And sometimes, when I hear these mispronounced words, it’s like fingernails on a chalk board. Since misery loves company, I thought I’d share some of what I consider the…
Read MoreTime keeps flowing like a river
I’m getting older and there’s really nothing short of drastic and highly unappealing I can do to change that. I’ve been told I don’t look any older than I did ten years ago. Or maybe it’s that I can pass for ten years younger than I am. In any case, I do have good genes…
Read Morethe waiting is the hardest part
I started this blog while I was trapped on a 6.5 hour flight to Seattle, sandwiched between two people with barely enough room to extend my arm to grab my two bottles of pinot grigio from the flight attendant. (I only asked for one bottle, but the flight attendant must have taken pity on me…
Read MoreNew Year’s Resolutions 2012
I often complain that our society lacks originality, at least from an entertainment perspective. Movies from decades past, like Footloose, have been remade, television shows from the 70s have been modernized for today’s world, like Hawaii Five-O and the epic fail, Charlie’s Angels, and covers of older songs are created every year in the double…
Read MoreWhat’s the hurry?
It occurred to me lately that I’m always rushing to be somewhere, do something, etc. I am ALWAYS rushing to get to work by 9:30am which is absurd because a) 9:30am is not that early and b) my commute is a 15 minute walk. It’s not that I can’t wake up in the morning; I…
Read Moregonna have to face it, you’re addicted…
I currently have several windows open on my computer. While working in Outlook, I can easily click to Pandora Radio if the co-workers behind me get chatty and I need to drown out the sounds of their giggling. If I see that I’ve received a new email in my Hotmail account, I can quickly click…
Read Morewhy so sensitive?
I hate the fact that I am so sensitive. One of my friends said that my being sensitive is a nice quality, but that I should be a little more selective about who gets to see that side of me because I’ve been hurt by people who really were not worth my time in the first…
Read MoreThanksgiving “grateful” list
This time last year, I dedicated my blog to Thanksgiving blessings. I called it my “grateful” list and I shared some of the aspects of my life for which I felt extremely blessed. I thought about re-posting that blog as “new” since, really, what is the likelihood that any of you actually read my blog…
Read MoreRandom facts about ME!
I’m in a very generous mood this evening, so I figured I would share with my readers. I will not be sharing my paycheck, cookies or pieces of my favorite sushi roll, but I will share tidbits about me. I’m sure you’d prefer the paycheck or maybe the sushi but get over it! Here goes nothing:…
Read MoreSeattle observations
I just returned from a four day vacation in Seattle. Since it’s about time for me to post my weekly blog, I figured I’d let you all know what I learned about the “Emerald city” during my four days: 1. Seattle is sometimes referred to as the Emerald City. Not sure why, but will look it up before I…
