Peeves of Yore: A New Juice(box) Soon?
Happy Friday, Friends! The weather where I live is finally deciding to somewhat align itself with the month of May. Last year, we were already bitchin' and moaning about 80 degree weather in March. Well, I guess Mother Earth heard us, and decided to teach us a lesson. We've learned! We've learne...
Yer Momma
"Happy Mother's Day" is something that should be said to one's own mother or mother-like figure, not to every person that looks even vaguely female. Continue reading

Amy Has Returned
Back after months of Primary Caregiver Duty, and still quite peeved at the reprobate who tried to kill my husband with a car. Continue reading

Flash Dorkwad
Rang in 2013 with my first hot flash, at 4:30 this morning! Eagerly anticipating further perimenopausal delights to share with EVERYBODY. Continue reading

Dazed and Confused
My husband, who is in the hospital recovering from a serious accident, is finally emerging from his pain-meds fog. He's still a bit fuzzy as to time, numbers, and certain details. He now has a phone in his room, and... Continue reading

In What World Does This Make Sense?
"Grant it" = "granted?" (as in "Grant it, I was drunk at the time...") I will start work on ENGLISH FOR BLOGGERS this weekend. Continue reading

Bitch Perfect
I will be ever so glad when the movie "Pitch Perfect" sinks into oblivion and the TV spots stop airing. Every time I hear "Fat Amy," my soul crumbles a little bit. Continue reading

I Think I Can
Dear Aluminum Recycler, I applaud your initiative in gathering up all the discarded cans in my neighborhood. You're a credit to the environment and to American know-how! However, I do wish you'd answer these questions: How exactly DID you manage... Continue reading

Crunchy Goodness
Just checking: one's neck should not make a crunching sound while turning, correct? Continue reading

And we won't even mention truck nuts.

I Don't Need Balls
I hate when a woman is called "ballsy" or someone says she has balls, as if the only way a woman can be confident, or assertive, or aggressive, or a badass, is to emulate a man. I don't think so.
What Happens in Vegas
Free airfare and hotel accommodations for two days in Las Vegas to perform at a convention! What did I get to see over those two days? The inside of a hotel ballroom! Continue reading

My former boyfriend, Creepy Little Icky Guy, did this. I think he had delusions of "Starsky and Hutch."

Park it, buddy.
I will never understand the back in parking style. It always looks like it takes more effort than the pull in, so why would I bother? Is there some magical, time saver of which I am unaware when one parks backward? I'm not talking about the pull through, but the back in when your front is out ...
This Is Why Hypochondriacs Should Not Read Medical Websites
Rocky the Wonder Cat has fleas! This is actually the GOOD news. The bad news is that I had convinced myself via online research that his skin-twitching was feline hyperesthesia syndrome, and now our v-e-t thinks I'm crazy. Continue reading

Trippin'
Next week we journey to my ancestral homeland of Wisconsin, for my high-school reunion and various family/friend escapades. It is the first time I have been home in five years. We will be gone for nearly a week, the longest time I have spent away from job/house/cats in several years. This, of co...

It's Pouty Time
I acknowledge that anticipating and celebrating birthdays is rather unbecoming after one has accumulated a certain number of them. Yet I am still mildly Peeved that not only am I working on my birthday, but I also have to attend... Continue reading

Mine!
Even when my house is relatively tidy, I still don't like having people over. I especially do not like surprise visitors in My Territory. I particularly hate surprise visitors with loud voices who wander around touching stuff, scaring the cat,... Continue reading

Publish and Be Damned
I got tickets to that thing I like, but I can't announce it on Facebook because I was dumb enough to befriend a few people who would consequently attack me. Continue reading

Nyah Nyah!
My 25th high-school reunion is in two months. I had intended to lose at least 20 pounds by now and another 10 or so by the reunion date. And what have I actually done? Gained five, because I am apparently... Continue reading

While I'm sure you were cackling over the irony, did you really have to take my friend on National Cancer Survivors' Day? Continue reading

Another Damn Real-Life "Seinfeld" Moment
In April, I decided to go ahead and get a minor elective medical procedure I've been thinking about for years. The earliest consultation I could get was two months from the day I called. That appointment was today, and it... Continue reading

The Password Is "Password"
My current least-favorite TV and movie trope is the "guess the villain's computer password" scene. "Sherlock" has used this twice in TWO CONSECUTIVE EPISODES. It is a waste of Benedict Cumberbatch. Continue reading

Let's Review, Shall We?
Your backpack is YOURS. That is why it is on YOUR back. Your backpack is YOURS. That means it is not MINE. Your backpack is YOURS. That means it does not belong in (not on, in) MY back, especially on... Continue reading

Worth A Thousand
Just saw pictures of myself taken this week. Immediately resolved to wire my jaws shut for three months, or to use the Dust-Buster to give myself emergency liposuction. I look utterly harpoon-worthy. Continue reading
