Happenings in Grouchyland

Yes, that is my world. I feel like Oscar, living in my garbage can. Well, my house isn’t that bad. It is just everything has me in a pissy mood. I have been having some ‘tummy’ troubles for the past 2 months. I thought it was just a whopping case of diverticulitis. Well, it was. [...]

These boots were not made for walkin’

I again apologize for my lack of blogging. I have been a little under the weather. My diverticulosis has flared up and I had a whopping attack of diverticulitis.

Death by dog

I can’t figure people out. Last night I went out to dinner with some friends. We had a nice dinner, and we wrapped up fairly early (8ish). So I was on my way home, driving through Pittsford when a dog (a Welsh Corgi to be exact) ran in front of my car. Now I had [...]

Sports Bra = torture

OK, I have finally decided to come clean. I had to tell this story to hopefully spare someone else from the pain and embarrassment I suffered. All at the hands of an evil device. That device? The sports bra.
