Drive Me Crazy
Nothing turns me into a snarling, growling, epithet-hurling harpy faster than bad and/or rude driving. I grew up and learned to drive in Atlanta from the inching-across-town on the “connector” days to the days of Spaghetti and Malfunction junctions. If you’ve ever driven in Atlanta, you will know what I mean. A trip to LA [...]
Technology, what?
My computer crashed yesterday. Yep. Finally bit the big one. I was getting ready to do some work on a Word file and copying a large chunk of text and BOOM! The blue screen of death. I had that a couple of weeks ago and my tech guy did a tune up on the machine [...]
Crazy
Oh, it has been a week. Is it the full moon? Is it Spring on the wing? Is it the antsy, itchy anticipation of the dreaded springing forward? Is Mercury in retrograde? Who knows? I can only offer my observations that right now everything in the world seems completely and utterly bat-shit crazy. That’s about [...]
Wait…What?
When I moved in here with G, I didn’t bring much with me. The apartment I was living in at the time was semi-furnished and even though the landlord said I could take anything with me, the only things I wanted were a small bookcase that I now use as a night table and this [...]
Funk
The snow is coming down heavy outside the window. I have a splitting headache that I’m not sure is from the cold I can’t seem to shake or the wild changes in weather over the last 24 hours (yesterday it was in the mid-60′s, warm and windy). I had my 2nd audit on the new [...]
Love, Guilt and Insanity aka Christmas
It builds slowly. I’m not sure exactly when it starts, maybe around Halloween. There’s a shift, subtle, like a drop or rise in barometric pressure. Maybe it’s the appearance of Christmas trees and wrapping paper in the stores even before the Thanksgiving turkeys have a chance to gobble. Maybe it’s the energy that kids put [...]
Bad Deja Vu
My second husband died on his bathroom floor, alone. At least, that was what I was told. I found out that he was dead via an e-mail from his father who lived in Scottsdale AZ at the time. Ironic, no? You live less than 2 miles away from the person you’re still married to, and [...]
Never Mind…
Was going to do a long, moaning and groaning post about the daughter and her recent situation (let’s just say it’s utility-related and many things hang in the balance). After a very intense day at work yesterday combined with late-day “woe is me” IMs from her, I was nearly at my wits’ end. Feeling the [...]
Turbo Tax SUCKS!
I filed both my Federal and state taxes with Turbo Tax as offered on the IRS website on February 3, 2011. As of today, neither the IRS or the Colorado Dept. of Revenue as received my “fast” electronic tax return. Now I will probably have to spend the rest of the day on hold while [...]
