why don't people pay on time?

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I have outstanding invoices from companies that are today over a month old. For the one, I just lumped it into next month's invoice and said, PAY ME NOW. For the other, I said, what exactly is your pay schedule? And then proceeded to be flabbergasted as I turned in an ...

the wonders of the furminator

Friday, June 27th, 2008

My parents are coming next week, so the insane weekend of cleaning starts tonight (sigh). Fortunately I finally broke down and bought the Furminator, hoping that de-shedding the three furballs would help cut down on vacuuming. And can I just say: oh my god, where has this thing been all my ...

A teacher I had in high school wants to be friends on Facebook. Does anyone else think that's just weird?

90 degrees + odd humidity = ick

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

It was hot yesterday, a high of around 85˚ where we are, but the Chop and I took the dog for a three mile walk to the beach. Somehow, I managed to stumble and roll-walk onto my right foot, successfully spraining the outside of the my ankle. Unfortunately I didn't ...
