annoyances

Medical devices, the TSA and me

I travel with assorted medical stuff. It’s pretty common knowledge that I wear my insulin pump and keep an extra set of supplies and vial of insulin with me. The latest addition to my medical stuff is an epi pen. Since the peanut incident of a few years ago, my allergist, Dr. C, equipped me Continue reading →

And let’s make it 2 in a row!

This year, one of my favorite books of the year has made it AGAIN onto the most challenged books list! and that book would be…. HUNGER GAMES. I’m quite at a loss as to why people give it to children thinking “Oh, it’s popular, so it must be just fine…” and don’t take Continue reading →

Lenscrafters, you are now dead to me.

Seriously. Anyone who’s been watching my twitter stream knows that my glasses broke on Thursday morning, leaving me unable to see a few feet past my face. I found a pair of really, really old glasses with an outdated prescription that were able to make things a bit clearer, but not by much. I ditched Continue reading →

My flashing neon sign strikes again

New Years Day, I went to see War Horse with Mom and Dad while the guys were out of town. We went to this small, artsy-fartsy theater that I LOVE. They have the bestest snacks ever (Mint brownies? Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream? Fudge cake and REAL BUTTER on the popcorn anyone?) and they not Continue reading →

Isms

Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism’s in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, “I don’t believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.” Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I Continue reading →

Amazon is just looking better and better right about now.

Loathe though I am to admit it, I know that the holiday season is (almost) here, and sadly, the retailers have started shoving this down our throats. The deals are spectacular and looking at the Black Friday ads, this is about as good as we’re going to get for deals. So, knowing this, and being Continue reading →

No, I don’t find this funny. Seriously.

This evening, I was reading my regular twitter and FB stream and came across this article that was posted by a few friends and others. Some are just Disney fans, others, like me, are current and former Cast Members (CMs). The fans? They find it funny. It’s a cute anecdote to them as well as Continue reading →

From the “You’ve GOT to be kidding me!” Files

Isaac’s school is awesome. The teachers, the principal and the support staff are phenomenal, even with the issues that I have with the OT and PT staff. It’s why I signed on to be a room mom for Isaac this year-I figured that it wouldn’t be too bad, and my co-room mom, Amy is a joy Continue reading →

Sears Auto Can Bite Me.

Over the past month, my Adventuremobile needed a few fixes. AND, it figures, both fixes needed to happen on the weekend. I had to take my Adventuremobile to the only open repair shop, because this wasn’t a fix that could wait. Especially the first one. That repair shop? Sears. The first time I went there, Continue reading →

Dear Entity that Controls the Weather

This has been a civil conversation thus far. Now, the gloves are off. I don’t think you understand our working agreement. As of 3/31, each year, there is to be no new snowfall. The forecast tomorrow better be your idea of a prank and the snow better not show. If it does show, and you Continue reading →
