Movin’ on up…

To the Hudson Valley that is.
I just got home a bit ago from my “vacation” to New York.  It wasn’t so much a vacation as a trial to see if I liked the area, got along with my friend and her family and look for a job.  I’m happy to [...]

Things that go wrong…

Image via Wikipedia

1.  Having the power turned off AGAIN by electric company.
2.  Wanting/needing to go out and having your driveway blocked off my electric company.
3.  Going out in the backyard to discover…a dead squirrel.
4.  Hanging out clothing instead of using dryer-just to find bird poop on a pair of jeans.
5.  Evening plans canceled.
6.  Scrambling around [...]

Power’s out in the neighborhood

Yesterday? we got a notice saying that the power in the neighborhood would be shut off for a few hours today.  Something about the Electric Company updating or something along those lines.  I didn’t really pay much attention to it-too many other things on my mind.
As most of my days off [...]

Job Interview

Over the weekend I applied to two jobs.  Yesterday I received a phone call from my friend in NY telling me one of those jobs had called her house and left a message for me.  I immediately took down the number and gave them a call and as there was no answer, left [...]

Heads or Tails: Peace

This week’s topic for the Heads or Tails Meme is Piece or Peace.  Of course I just had to do a post on peace….and this song was the first thing that came to mind.
Peace and Love or Else by U2

Here, there and everywhere

Contrary to popular believe-I have not disappeared off the face of the earth. Just off the blogosphere. It’s been a very busy weekend for me, full of traveling, driving, walking and shopping. And oh yes, a bit of work. But not too much thankfully.
Between Friday and Saturday we did [...]

Lori Drew Charged

Image via Wikipedia

For nearly two years now, there were questions as to whether Lori Drew would be charged for her crimes against Megan Meier, the teenage girl who committed suicide after falling victim to a hoax played out over MySpace.  Today Drew was official charged-with fraud.
While this charge is seemingly appropriate, she did allegedly create [...]

And we are off and running…for now.

I flat out refused to deal with Dell during this current fiasco with my laptop.  I knew that if I got on the phone with them, or even got on their live chat one of us would get cursed at…and it wouldn’t be me.  I’m beginning to suspect (oh okay, that’s a lie) that this [...]

Heads or Tails: Any Tom, Dick or Harry

This week’s prompt at Skittle’s Heads or Tails is “Any Tom, Dick or Harry”.  I have to say, it’s an unusual topic…probably one of the most unusual thus far.
Nonetheless, the topic is slightly easy for me.  My grandfather’s name was Harry.  And so, today, I will share all that I know about him.  Fortunately for [...]

On the Fritz

My laptop, once again, decided to stop working.  It was working perfectly fine yesterday afternoon before I left for work, but now…something is up with it.
It seems as though perhaps Windows is not working properly; as the computer will make it to Windows…but then once it gets there…that’s it, I can’t do anything else with [...]
