Some people have dogs that enjoy going for walks. Others even have dogs that willingly go outside to relieve themselves. My dog declines to do either of those things. Zoe literally has to be forced outside several times a day to do her business. She also has to be monitored closely while outside due to her fake squat [...]

An update on the server situation: J now closes her office door to shield her ears from the humming server. S, in an effort to mitigate the awkwardness of confined quarters with J, has begun playing her radio. J now sings along with the radio. A is both amused and slightly disconcerted by the thought of J singing [...]

Everyone knows college was made for roadtrips. Some of my favorites were visiting my BFSK (best friend since kindergarten) at Purdue every fall. Erica, my WKU friend, always accompanied me on these northbound journeys to see Stacy and her roommate, Judy. Erica and I opted to make our freshman trip a platonic foursome, inviting friends Keith and Owen.
We [...]

I might need chocolatherapy - not for eating too much of it, but for habitually hoarding it. At this very moment, I am hiding storing the following chocolate items:
Dove chocolates (from my birthday last August), Caramel deLite Girlscout cookies (from last April), and assorted Halloween remnants in my desk at work.
Kit Kats and M&M’s* (from [...]

It is a known fact that if you want to rid yourself of any food item, you bring it to my office. When I arrived at work today, I discovered a lovely assortment of cookies and chocolate (an apparent effort to shift junk food from the resolvers to the non-resolvers.) Not to be outdone, I [...]

While everyone else is crafting New Year’s resolutions, I am refusing to put any pressure on myself. In fact, here are my anti-resolutions:
1. I won’t train for a 5K, a 10K or any-other-K, okay? I will run if chased by a lunatic, and for no other reason.
2. I won’t give up my (caffeine free) carbonated [...]

Kit-Kats were given.
Cookies were eaten.
At trivial pursuit,
I was badly beaten.
My brother actually reads my blogs! He knew that Matt and I each needed our own supply of Kit-Kats to restore harmony in our relationship, and he brought them. I promptly hid mine.
Our neighbors gave us Trivial Pursuit 80’s edition for Christmas. Of course, I declared [...]

I’ve been hoarding saving 2 boxes of Ghirardelli Hot Cocoa for 1 year in anticipation of a perfect occasion. Last Thursday, I decided to embark on a Christmas shopping spree by myself. As solo shopping is a rarity these days, I declared this trip the official perfect occasion and quickly ripped into opened 1 of [...]

A couple weeks ago Matt and I held a secret (to imp) meeting to divvy the imp’s Halloween candy surplus. The negotiations proceeded smoothly until we discovered a lone full-size Kit-Kat. Cases were made on both sides as to why each party was deserving of the Kit-Kat. Matt finally suggested that we have a Skip-Bo tournament to decide its [...]
