'Bout that time, eh, chaps?

Posted on November 30, 2007 by la_florecita

Right-oh. For the past few years I’ve gotten into the holiday spirit right after Thanksgiving.  (Holiday spirit = putting up colored lights in my apartment.)  This year, not so much.  I kept waiting for the holiday fairy to sprinkle me … Continue reading →

It's not that I don't have anything to say

Posted on November 28, 2007 by la_florecita

It’s that I don’t have the time to say it. The stories I have are either long or require me to upload photos.  From my camera. And, weirdly, my favorite time to the day to blog is also my best … Continue reading →

TxDOT: Texas Department of Torture

Posted on November 27, 2007 by la_florecita

So I moved in June, as you might be aware. And I was a slacker about changing my drivers license. It just wasn’t a priority . . . in the way that reading a magazine by the pool was. So … Continue reading →

With the dog and the sitting

Posted on November 26, 2007 by la_florecita

Today's Post

Posted on November 25, 2007 by la_florecita

I’m at work and I’m required to post but I won’t be home until around midnight. I personally count posting before bed to be legit no matter what time “before bed” is, but it’s Nov. 25th and I haven’t screwed … Continue reading →

R Months

Posted on November 24, 2007 by la_florecita

Today I didn’t want to go to work.  I heart my job, but it was Saturday and 45° and raining.  Pouring.  Thunder, lightning, etc.   It stopped thundering, but all day it didn’t stop raining and it didn’t get warmer.  I … Continue reading →

Best Thanksgiving Meal Ever

Posted on November 22, 2007 by la_florecita
