I've accumulated 3,073 pieces of spam in my gmail account in the last 30 days. Must be a new record. The only bright spot is that at least all these messages have been filtered out of my inbox and I never had to deal with them.

I let my O magazine subscription lapse in 2006. I had paid for a multi-year subscription and when it ran out I was in cost cutting mode and I just couldn't afford Oprah any more. When she started writing about the things she just couldn't live without and it included $70 sweat pants, I knew she had jumped the shark. She just wasn't in touch with her peeps any more.Guess what? Oprah wants me

Hi folks - was just making a few entries online and thought I would pop over here and leave a tidbit. I'm not blogging on a regular basis at all and I miss it in some ways. I think most of all I miss the freedom it gave me to say what I wanted to say. But nothing is really anonymous out here on the web, so I really couldn't say anything I wanted to say. I'm still going through some sort of

I have great memories of this time of year ...In 2004, it was the original Match.com party.In 2005, it was the Red Hot party. Check out the photo - I was indeed Red Hot!I may have skipped my annual June party in 2006. That year really wasn't a good one for me. Last year I sounded a bit more upbeat, but I didn't take or post party photos. And I just had my party last weekend and - no

I've made up my mind.It's over.It's time for me to leave this blog behind. It served its purpose and did so well, but I've left behind just enough of a trail for real-life npeople to figure out who I am. I'm not ashamed of anything I've written here, but it just weirds me out that there are people who know my real identity who are lurking and reading my blog. You know who you are. Now you know

We had a little bit of a conflict with Windows, Dell and LinkSys fighting over control of the connection, but it was finally resolved and I am now talking to you live, from my sofa! Life is good.

It's all about perspective.You know how I said I had lunch with a friend on Monday and her family stories make my life look like a piece of cake? Well, I just got off the phone with a completely different friend who is dealing with even more grief than the aforementioned friend, and it really, really, really brought things into perspective for me.I'm just at that age where I need to start

My new laptop has arrived! I need to get it (and my new wireless router) set up and soon I will be blogging from the comfort of my couch. Ah, the good old days.That's how it all started, you know. Sitting on the sofa, wirelessly connected to the internet. Nearly four years ago. Yeah, this blog has been suffering. Look at that goddam tagline - I've had it up there all year! Give me some

To the gym on Thursday. To happy hour on Friday. To holiday parties on Saturday. Is it any wonder?First things first - I'm getting a new computer! I cannot wait to have a new wireless laptop.

The whirlwind is still blowing.Sometimes I've wondered - do I write more when I'm happy or when I'm sad? I think I definitely have tended to write/journal more during the sad times of my life. Interestingly enough, there have been times when I thought I was happy and wrote a lot, but looking back, those were actually bad times for me. So I think the answer is that I write more during the bad

First of all, thanks to Sue and Deb for guest posting for me.I love, love, LOVED Sue's speculations, and it's been far too long since I've seen Brian's backside. The truth of the matter is, I did go on an exciting trip to get a boob job (I worked hard for the money to pay for it) and I was thinking of new blog posts.Anybody want to guess where I went?

I* like to think of Fear Not as "my other blog". To that end, I feel that lately, it has been lacking in the number of photos of Brian's backside**. This post shall remedy that situation!* I am Scooterdeb from Cheaper Than Therapy** I wonder if she'll ever speak to me again when she reads this?

I turned it on Sunday. I didn't want to get out of a nice hot shower and step into a 57 degree house. So, I made it until October 14.

Where do I start?1) What's with the raids on Anna Nicole Smith's doctors' offices/homes? And the talk of digging her up? Didn't they already do an autopsy? Let the poor girl rest in peace.2) Just watched Deal or No Deal which I declared a losing proposition back in December 2005 (my God, has it already been on that long?) and they were trying so hard to give away a million dollars that they

I've had two others this bad, but this one was the worst. At least the other two were preceded by a drunken night of partying (and were, most likely, alcohol poisoning and not migraines). But this. Pure unadulterated hell. And I can't pinpoint a specific reason.I had gone out after work and nursed one beer in the local brewery for two and a half hours. Came home at 8:00 or so and made a

So I just logged on to my online savings account and I realized that I could view my statements. And when I clicked on the link I saw that I could always view my statements and that, in fact, I was supposed to have been receiving statements all along, but the email bounced. So I started going back and viewing and saving the old statements and there it was.1099-INT.Attached to the December

So this couple we know, they're getting married. And I just got invited to the shower and since we're not going to the (destination) wedding, I have to put in an appearance at the shower and represent, you know? Now, I know that things have evened out in the shower and wedding department lately. Sure, you'll still see people register for towels and linens and silverware and blenders and throw

I am utterly and completely wiped out.Could have something to do with the 800 miles I traveled over Labor Day Weekend. Or the fact that I am at least ten pounds overweight. Or the very thought of packing and moving again. I could go to bed right now. In fact, I think I will.

I did! I did! Earlier this evening I spotted a coyote!I was sitting here at the computer and I spotted some movement out near the car. I stood up and saw what looked like a small dog and quickly realized it was a coyote. It's very unusual to see them. I called for The Man but he thought I was just talking on the phone and did get up until it was too late.It freaked me out a little, thinking

So, remember a few weeks back when I went to pick up my car and it wasn't ready? And I had to walk a mile and a half into town to kill time at the public library? Well, while I was there, I checked out this book called "Everything Is Miscellaneous" and it really got me thinking.I read the book (okay, skimmed the first few chapters) and it was pretty interesting. You know how we all have boxes

I have a friend who I hadn't heard much from over the past few months. Turns out he's been going through some personal relationship challenges. I don't have the full story yet, but I can't say I'm surprised. I never felt comfortable about this relationship, and I can't say I told you so because I didn't - but I thought it.In any event, this is a friend who was a much bigger part of my life

So, those long walks I've been taking down the driveway to get the mail ... one day I came upon three turkeys but I didn't have the camera with me. Now I try to take the camera with me in case I come upon some wildlife. I can't for the life of me figure out what this bird is doing up here in the mountains of upstate New York.
