I am really sorry, but hosting seems to be really wonky.
I am going to have to find a new ISP as I am outgrowing the good graces of Flexo with this blog. I’m just a big ole’ pain in the neck for him. He’s been wonderful helping me out with the technical nitty gritty.

So my boss was returning from the holiday weekend and had left his car at work. Last night he calls and asks if I can pick him up. I give him the verbal frowny face. He knows I hate waking up early, but we agree I am to pick him up between 8 and 8:30. [...]

Items that were cheaper at Target:
Tide HE in 100 oz bottles. About $12.50 each, where my grocery store had them for more like $15.00.

My knitter friends and I were talking and one of them has pulled her house off the market. They were going to relocate, with with a baby on the way, they decided to stay put since the house was so hard to sell. This snowballs into another [...]

I had a really fancy dinner on Saturday night, but on Sunday, I holed up in my apartment and ate frozen dinners for lunch and dinner. I just couldn’t get motivated to step out and go skating. I didn’t want to deal with the little kids and the chaos that is ice skating during a [...]
