Overheard in the Target dressing room: Obnoxious Whining Child: Mooooommy, the door won’t close, it’s gonna open! Someone’s gonna come iiiiiiiin!” Mom: “Nobody’s coming in, honey.” Obnoxious Whining Child: *Indiscriminate and increasingly shrill whines of disbelief* Mom: “Look, even if someone walked in, Mommy’s a kick-boxing instructor. So they’d better watch out.” The whining stopped immediately,Continue reading “Listening In. . .”

Back-to-Hell Shopping
I love school supplies. I just can’t get enough of fun erasers, patterned binders, and colorful composition books. In fact, I found out today that the selection is a lot cooler than it used to be, as far as cuteness goes. So, I thought picking out a new plan book would be a funContinue reading “Back-to-Hell Shopping”
The Gym
I would choose a week of record high temperatures to decide it is high time I kick my butt back to the gym. Thankfully, instead of making the whole transition unbearably miserable, I think the heat has actually eased my gym re-entry. Since I never stop sweating anyway, I might as well get some prolongedContinue reading “The Gym”

Redundancy on the Highway
I saw this when I stopped to refill my gas tank . . .
Bosom Friends
Today, like a lot of days, I am missing my bosom friends . . . Now, just in case you’re a little confused, and the word bosom has a whole slew of different connotations for you, don’t be alarmed, and don’t misunderstand! This is not some awkward reference to a friend with benefits. I justContinue reading “Bosom Friends”
The Knowledge Game
You might not know this, but I am nearly a MASTER. That’s right. My master’s degree is nearly complete. Too bad it won’t change my title (like it would with a PhD). I guess I could try to insist on being called Master. I can see why people don’t, though. It would be like aContinue reading “The Knowledge Game”
