so…
I work in an office where there is a water cooler at almost every corner (overheard: “the pay might not be great, but we’re well hydrated”). Keeping that in mind: I see a guy fill up a Brita pitcher every morning, from the tap in the kitchen…
…right next to the water cooler…
Don’t think about it […]

so…this morning I was making up some eggs for breakfast and one of the eggs had what I can only describe as ashes inside.
Me: Yuck! I hate surprises when I crack open eggs.
Erika: You know that when we own our own farm and raise chickens, you’ll have to get used to that.
M: Used to what?
E: […]

so…the men’s room at work smells like nag champam which is a welcomed improvement…
…and rumor has it that someone was snoring away in a stall earlier…
…if they start dimming the lights or lighting some candles, I’m going to need to go to a different floor…

so…in addition to being a loving wife, an amazing mother, and keeping our house from falling apart and making sure our bills are paid, Erika has taken on the role of my personal copyeditor: she has pointed out to me, many times, that I always manage to use the wrong word in my posts at […]

so…I was dangerously close to missing my train this morning.
How close?
Well, I’m so glad you asked me that…I overslept by 35 minutes.
Overslept is just a kind way of me saying that I managed to snooze, and then turn off, not one, but two alarms this morning.
Isn’t that always the way? Especially when you’ve got […]

so…we got a new toy today, and I can’t play with it…I’ve got to work
We got a new camera! A Nikon D50, to be exact. With two lens — a 28-80mm and a 70-300mm! And I’ve got to work…
This is almost as bad as the time when I was in 7th grade and […]

so…my right shoe squeaks.
step-squeak, step-squeak, step-squeak
that’s me walking down the hallway.
so much for sneaking out of here early today!

so…I walked in the door on Monday night and Erika greeted me and said, “I didn’t make anything for dinnner. I think you’re going to want to order Chinese food after I tell you this.”
She has only met me at the door saying this one before. She was pregnant then.
She is NOT pregnant now.
It seems […]

so…nothing like a corned beef sandwich and a cup of coffee to help give the afternoon a healthy dose of heartburn.

so…if I ever catch The Niño in a dark alley I’m going to kick him right in the low pressure system.
Why the hell was I dealing with 11 inches of snow only two days removed from temparatures in the low 70’s!?
In an attempt to magnify the amount of snow I had to deal with, I […]
