My adorable little netbook died on my this week, since it has not yet been 14 days since I purchased it I returned to its place of origin to exchange one dead netbook for one live netbook. As I stood in line, I tried to guess which customer service rep I would be lucky enough [...]

So we spent Thanksgiving at the BIL’s blaggard boss’s house. Interesting, to say the least. I made the most glorious pumpkin pie with a delicious pecan crust and we also brought salad and green bean casserole.

I dropped her in the “Tire & Lube” section of the store and wandered around for an hour entertaining myself [...]

Once again finding myself at the aforementioned favorite pizza haunt of my BIL and sister this time joined not only by Izzy one of my dearest and favorite friends (up from Texas for the glorious occasion of my birthday) but also by an alarming number of the BIL’s co-workers and friends… who made no effort [...]
