Cheap

People, I have become a bit … cheap.  Frugal.  Whatever.   I always get excited when I can go home at the end of a work day and I can tell Rob that I spent ZERO DOLLARS that day.
Which is all well and good.
Except that my company has not been affected by the recession and likely [...]

Where am I?

Yesterday, I had some dental work done.  My mouth?  So not happy with me.  Neither was my dentist, frankly.*  I have to go back tomorrow and am shaking in my flip-flops.
When I went to bed last night, I decided to take a leftover Tylenol with Codeine** and 1mg  melatonin to make sure I’d be able [...]

The best of months, the worst of months

May both rocked and totally sucked donkey balls.
My friends Erin and Tracy came to visit.  It was so great to see them, and I had so much fun. We did all kinds of fun shit like shopping, Star Trek, going to see the Harry Potter exhibit, drinking, lying around in yoga pants, going to see [...]

I hate my outfit today

I’m really annoyed with my body.   I’m tired of my weight creeping up.  I’m tired of buying new pants.  I’m tired of starting to burst out of those pants and having to buy new pants.  I’m tired of feeling guilty every time I eat because of the pants-burstage.  I’m tired of my body not cooperating [...]

General Whining: Work Edition

Item #1.  Today I was playing with my engagement ring while talking to my boss.  It fell off and I could not find it, so I looked around on the floor for it.  No dice.  I started going through my trash can, because I thought it might have fallen in there.  My boss backed away [...]

Stupid jerk

I don't really have much to whine about today, so can I tell you all about how I saw a guy jerk off on the train yesterday?  Okay, I will.
So I was on the Brown Line, minding my own business and reading my book.*  (Ironically, a book about sex.)  I had gotten on the train [...]

Whining Wednesday

I hate this weight gain business.
I have banned myself from the scale for the forseeable future, but am estimating I've gained about 5-7 pounds, based on the way my clothes are consistently fitting.  (Or rather, not fitting.)   I'm sure some of that's water from the fertility drugs, and some of it is fat. 
What I [...]

A surprisingly whining-free Whining Wednesday

I guess I'm still in happy vacation mode.  Currently irritating me: 1) The new book I'm reading stinks (perhaps I should have taken a cue from the title) and I hate quitting books, 2) I'm jet lagged and really, really exhausted and 3) I have a serious backlog of Big Brother on my Tivo from [...]

Whining … Thursday

I don't have much to whine about now, except for the fact that, much like last week, I'm An Infertile.  Though not really bursting at the seams anymore – I guess I might have been a wee bit bloated.  For, like, 7 days.  Whatever. 
Yesterday really was not a good day.  I got up at the [...]

Whining Wednesday: Infertile and Fat Edition

So, my ovaries have apparently decided that even though they're healthy and happy and fine and shit, that they can't be bothered to, say, ovulate.  Which means that I am An Infertile. 
(Hi Dad!  Don't worry, there will be as few references as possible to my lady business on this blog.)
There are a couple of [...]
