First off, I won. Sort of. The way it works is, there are two of us who run for inspector, one R and one D. Whoever gets the most votes gets the title of majority inspector and the “loser” gets minority inspector. Kind of the way the presidential election used to work. I got 148…

There are local elections in lots of places. This is a PSA to go out and vote. I, myself, am on the ballot here. Woo hoo! I’m up for minority inspector. No one is running against me, so I think I might win. Here, the biggest race is for ward commissioner. Our current commissioner is…

Sometimes I look forward to Mondays. I’m well-rested after the weekend and I’m ready to tackle work first thing Monday morning. Sometimes I dread Mondays, especially if there are boring meetings scheduled or some unpleasant task to deal with. Quite often, I just wish I had another day in the weekend. This morning, I’m kind…

I made it to 10,000 words! Woo hoo! My secret? Don’t read it. I suspect it’s tripe. Do I care? At this point, no. I’m thinking if I make it to 25,000, maybe I’ll read it. Then again, it might make me not want to continue. Maybe I should just hold off until it’s done.…

i.e. to me. I haven’t looked at these in a while, but over the weekend, I was bored and starting looking at the search words that lead people here. Generally, I get standard searches like “mom” and “geeky mom” and of course “sexy mom” but sometimes I get funny and odd ones. So here’s some…

Okay, my panties are in a wad. Last night before I went to bed, I read this column by Eleanor Clift where she tells me that I shouldn’t get my panties in a wad over Alito’s nomination to the Supreme Court. After all, she says, the public wants women to be required to notify their…

It’s a Saturday night. I’m tired. Mr. Geeky is out of town and the kids are down at a friend’s house. I’ve got an hour and a half to myself. So I put my jammies on, even though it’s only 7, make some hot cider, and pop in my Netflixed DVD, Sideways. I’m just starting…

Apparently Blogger is down for a couple of hours. Dang! I had all these things bookmarked and was all ready to share with the world. Well, the world will have to wait a bit, I guess. Let’s see. There are riots and violent protests. We have an extraordinarily conservative nominee to the Supreme Court. Let’s…

In honor of the trees being absolutely gorgeous, I thought a fall mix was in order, plus a picture or three. There are more at Flickr. “Will She Just Fall Down” ‘Til Tuesday“Fall Over Me Satellite” Aaron Booth “When I Fall” Barenaked Ladies “Fall With You” Lava Hay“I Fall To Pieces” Patsy Cline“Fall on Me”…

I’ve made an executive decision to come home at lunch time today. This has been a crazy week. I got a good night’s sleep last night, but I’m just feeling half-crazy. There are house things that need to get done before it gets out of control. And I’d like to do it today instead of…
