Freaking iTunes crashed my computer within 24 hours.

So I had to do a system restore.

It’s okay. I couldn’t bring myself to pay 99 cents for “I’m a Slave 4U”, after all.

I have a week off from work starting right now.

Saturday I will become 32 years old.

That sounds way […] Continue Reading…

I’ve been living my life like Tetris.

Every day is a line. I have to fit the blocks into the lines. The blocks are work, making dinner, washing and folding laundry, helping the kids with homework, paying bills, putting gas in the car and cleaning the house. And reading the […] Continue Reading…

I’ve got to stop buying Lotto tickets.

Only stupid poor people do that. I make fun of them in my mind all the time — the people who complain about being poor while constantly spending money on lottery tickets and credit card interest.

xmas shopping

I already started, so I could beat the rush this Friday. I got my kids all their big gifts, and now just need their little gifts. I bought other people stuff, too, but they read this site sometimes, so I won’t say any more.
