Ahhh… the bane of my pet owning existance. I love him but he is a real problem child sometimes. His story starts at the Humane Society of Central Pennsylvania. In late summer 2004, my Grandma had to be rushed to the hospital and we thought she was going to die. We all flew back to [...]

First up is the Letter A. For me, the first thing I think of when I think of that letter is A for Almond Joyful.. I met Almond in April 2006 when I started volunteering with Chihuahua Rescue. They’re a no-kill rescue that also does sanctuary for many unadoptable dogs. And Almond was an “unadoptable” [...]

For the uninitiated, NaBloPoMo stands for National Blog Post Month and was inspired by NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). But unlike NaNoWriMo, you can do NaBloPoMo any month of the year. All you have to do is write a blog post every day. I’d thought to do this several months ago to give me motivation [...]

Once upon a time, I had a relationship with someone online. I spent hours and hours with him. Poring over everything that he had to tell me. I also spent lots of money too. But then a day came where I said “No more!” and broke it off.  He’s been pursuing me ever since, even [...]

Looks like my DVD player is on the blitz… and it’s not even a year old. I got it from the old blue & yellow on their card so perhaps there’s a warranty that’ll cover it? You know, it’s probably barely 6 months old since I’m pretty sure I got it after A left. And [...]

I like the updated LJ Cross poster script for WordPress however one of the lacking things is something that I think I can fix myself quickly. I’d like it to add more than just “Category” as tags on the new post in LJ. It should add any tags on the post itself as well. Let’s [...]

Thanks to shenanigans by the management/owner of my building, I lost a day of work staying home to be on hand for them to come by. Oh well… we’ll be dealing with them soon enough. Consequently, my mind is convinced as I wrap up here at work, that it is Tuesday. No… it’s Wednesday! Which [...]

Was so excited to get a response from Finland that I ended up going to work without my purse. Sometimes I leave it in the car and I remember thinking that I must have left it there when I didn’t see it on a quick scan of the apartment. I also couldn’t recall bringing it [...]

I have signed up for NaBloPoMo… which is similiar to NaNoWriMo except that the goal is to write a blog post every day. I’m not even sure how long it has been since I used this site for my main blog. I never finished converting it from Movable Type to WordPress. With the horrible drama [...]
