National Chili Day Yet another one that is specifically for the US, but anyone who wants to is more than welcome to play along. In honour of the holiday, I've taken the last quart of my prize-winning (really, it's won prizes!) ve... Continued
The Most Fun I’ve Had All Week Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have had to install a buzzer entry system and reflective glass at my office. Both are very new (as in a day or so), and we don't have signs up. Today was my day to wo... Continued
Curling Is Cool Day The first time I saw curling in the Olympics, I thought to myself that those people must be insane! I mean, seriously...this is a sport? Then I started watching it, and I got it. Now I go out of my way to catch... Continued
I Give Up Too many things, too much stress, too much everything. I'm done. My apologies in advance for the lack of what little wit I normally possess, as the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be a train. The e... Continued
Single-Tasking Day If you're anything like me, you can simultaneously make dinner while updating software, watching the news, talking on the phone, and doing laundry. However, today is the day to do one thing at a time. I starte... Continued

Holy Snow Storm, Batman! I know, I know...it's not like they didn't tell us. But really, I tend to take whatever they guess for weather with a huge grain of salt. Turns out this time they were right. Officially we only got nine inches ... Continued
Hoodie-Hoo Day For the northern hemisphere, anyway. This is the day each year when we go outside at noon, wave our hands around in the air, and chant "hoodie-hoo". Why? Because it's mid-winter, and we've got to do something t... Continued
Stressful Saturday It's been a while since I've done an alliteration title, hasn't it? But that's how it is here right now. Apparently I have too many assets to get financial assistance with my hospital bill. Which leaves me with... Continued
Invasion of the Video Cards (And Some Other Stuff) Run for your lives! Video cards are taking over the world! Or at least my inbox. Yup...it's another one of those days. Hope you've got something fabulous planned for the weekend. Me, I'm working, but that's a g... Continued
