First of all you must know that I thoroughly enjoy office supplies. New pens? Thrilling. Highlighters? Captivating. Post-it notes in all shapes and colours? The highlight of my life. So it shouldn’t surprise you that the whiteboards they put up in my room yesterday are like new toys for me. I don’t have to contend [...]
I have been watching Heroes since the first season, and for themost part, I have loved it. This season though, it’s just getting too confusing for me. No one is who they seem. peoples’ parents aren’t really their parents, but they’re other peoples’ kids, and siblings of other people, and they’re al rnning around in [...]
I have a weird headache, so this won’t be long.
1- Just paid $90 to have the brakelines on our van fixed. Considering most mechanics charge at least $35/hour plus parts, and it took him three hours to do it, I think we got a good deal.

This actually made me a little uncomfortable and nervous. I hope Olga changed her number!
My husband knows that my brain needs mindless fodder sometimes. Therefore he has procured for me Seasons 1 through 4 of Night Court. I am very happy.
Tomorrow is my long day at work (no breaks, plus lunch hour duty). After that, I have to take the van to the mechanic (the “check engine” light is [...]
