When I moved into this house last year, there was a serious spider infestation. I signed a one year contract with Orkin, and now I rarely see a spider. But as luck would have it, my contract is coming to a close – and my property has been invaded by swarms of gigantic mosquitoes! These [...]
Welcome to the Chevy Grille!
While browsing the web today, I ran across the term Chevy grilles and thought it seemed like a pretty cool name for a restaurant! Perhaps this is just the business venture I should pursue. Anyone care for a juicy cheeseburger? It comes hot off the grill and served on a dirty old hubcap with a [...]
Decisions, Decisions…
When I started college, it was as a Criminal Justice major. Along the way, I changed majors a number of times. Anthropology, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science – you name it, I tried it. In the end, I got my A.S. in General Studies and then transferred to a B.S. program at another college. My Junior [...]
A Step Back in Time #2
My parents have lots of photos of me as a child, but I believe this is the only one in my possession. The photo is undated, so I can only speculate as to my age. I was probably about 5 or 6 years old. My dreams of becoming a country singer never came to fruition, [...]
The Ghost and Miss Tish
As I mentioned just recently, my TV has been turning itself on for months – usually between 3 and 4 AM. Well, it happened again. At 3:39 AM, I woke to a blaring television. I got up, walked to the living room, saw a few seconds of an infomercial about Macular Degeneration, flipped off the [...]
Why Miss Chattie Hasn’t Been So Chatty
I apologize for the sporadic posting lately, but I’ve had a few distractions. Work has been eating up a lot of my time. Studying and working out has taken up even more. On top of that, my doctor informed me that I am not getting enough sleep, which is leading to medical issues. I’ve been [...]
A More Comfortable Blogging Experience
My home office is in serious need of new furniture. I think Abe Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg address while sitting at this desk. As for the chair, I’m willing to bet that it’s made from wood from George Washington’s cherry tree. An updated look would certainly be nice, but there’s much more than aesthetics at [...]
I’m Chatty! Imagine That!
I just received perhaps the best award of my blogging career – the Good Chat Blog Award! This award was created to recognize those bloggers who seem like they’d invite you in for a nice long chat if you were to meet. Many thanks to Teeni for passing it on to my chatty self. C’mon [...]
Sail Away…
I’ve never been on a cruise, but I’d love to go with a special guy someday. When I find a man romantic enough to suggest such a thing, I have just the website to send him to. Cruise Vacation Center is dedicated to providing cruises specifically planned to meet their clients’ tastes and budgets. Whether [...]
Women Helping Women Avoid Jerks
It’s no secret that I’ve had a long history of crappy relationships. I always seem to meet the jerkiest guys on the face of the Earth. There was the abusive ex-husband and the psycho boyfriend. And of course, we can’t forget the guy who pretended to be a devoted boyfriend for nearly a year before [...]
