Yesterday

Yesterday, I called in sick. Was I sick? Not physically really, although I do have a cold coming on. I was in need of a mental health day though.
I just needed to not be at work and I had some stuff I needed to take care of like grocery shopping, paying my rent and [...]

A Butterfly Without Wings …

I receive a lot of spam through my work e-mail account because it is part of our website. Most of it is not stuff I would share with my mom. And I share a lot with my mom.
Today’s best subject line?
“A man with a small penis is like a butterfly without wings.”
You are a poet, [...]

Wiped Out

I am super tired … or as my sister and I kept saying all weekend because her miniature dachshund, Lulu, was with us holding it down for Germany, über tired. (Not oober Kim!)
I even have the correct ümlauts on über. Key strokes courtesy of my french minor in college.
I survived the family wedding weekend up [...]

USA 7s Kicks Off Saturday in Milwaukee, Wis.

Good luck to all of you playing or planning on attending the USA 7s in my awesome home state of Wisconsin!
I’ll be road-tripping with my sister to Minneapolis for my cousin’s wedding … again, let’s all hope the cake is good. For me that can make or break the weekend.
Send in any [...]

I’m kinda pissed about this whole "Pluto doesn’t count as a planet anymore" thing

Ummm … hello? You’re downgrading Pluto from a “Planet” to a “Dwarf Planet”?
Adults everywhere will be screwing up Jeopardy and Trivial Pursuit answers for years now. “What are 9 planets Alec? No, wait … 8? No, 9?”
Are we then supposed to be politically correct and call Pluto and his new friends, Ceres and [...]

Thunderstorms, Scaredy Cats, Wedded Bliss

Last night I had a meeting in Brookfield (near Milwaukee) which didn’t end until almost 10. I am glad I went, but it would’ve been better if it wasn’t last night when I was super tired. This week’s schedule has been hellacious.
The entire ride home I watched lightning ripping across the skies. I talked with [...]

City Adopts Rugby as Official Sport near Denver

Actually, I think Glendale is in the middle of Denver, Colorado … but I digress.
According to the Glendale City Rugby Club site, “In January 2006, the Glendale City Commission and the Mayor of Glendale, Mr. Larry Harte, decreed Rugby the Official Sport of the City of Glendale.”
Now lest you think this is some tiny little [...]

De Links – Not Just the Cousin of that River in Egypt

If I was at practice, I would yell “Hey Bitches, I just updated the links!”
But I am not. I am on a computer and it takes away a certain Je Ne Sais Quoi from my use of certain swear words.
(But if you happen to be one of those people that is AGHAST at my use [...]
