If Wishes Were Horses

Working at a college makes me jones just a little more to go back to school. Maybe it’s getting confused for a student occasionally, or just overhearing some of the classes that are going on around me on my floor that does it. I do want to go back to school so badly, but I’m having problems paying my bills already (including the student loans from my BFA), I don’t need to add more stress

Feeling Kinda Random

Yeah for a positive amount in the bank account. I got paid last night, so that means that I can actually go out and buy things for my child’s birthday this weekend. Not a lot, though, as the car payment still must be paid. Will someone come over and finish cleaning my house for me, please? Because I just don’t have the energy. Flash is kicking my ass at work currently. I’m actually working on

Ideas, People… Ideas

I need ideas, people. I’ve been trying to find cheap or free activities to have the kids that are coming to Elizabeth’s birthday party do. I’m lost, and I’m broke…. any ideas?

NaBloPoMo

I’m feeling better, other than the regular old sinus crap. Which is probably a good thing, since it’s taking everything in my power to stay conscious today at work. If you take a look to you right, over on the sidebar you’ll see a new button with the great Yoda on it. What the hell is NaBloPoMo, you ask? Well, the Absolutely Fabulous Mrs. Kennedy over at Fussy came up with yet another thing to

Some Good News – and some other stuff

The Good News: My contract got extended again at the HBCU. So, I have a job at least until Thanksgiving. The Not-So-Good News: I’ve not heard anything back from State School Research Center, as they’re still interviewing people. That’s a permanent gig, so I almost wish that one had come through before I got the notice of extension. The Could-Be-Good News: The girl I’m temping for has quit to move back up North, so who

Sick Days

Elizabeth and I had some “Quality Time” yesterday at home, since she was still running a fever from the weekend, and I, by default, get to stay home with her. Normally it doesn’t bother me at all, but guess who started feeling MUCH better right around the time that both of us should have been laying down for a nap? Yeah, joy of joys. I’ve become terribly familar with how well the futon in the

Nostalgic is and Nostalgic Does

Y’all really don’t know how thankful I am that it’s Friday. WHile this week has flown by, it’s also been jam-packed with shit to do, and with my current depressive, everything becomes more critical and more intense, because all I really want to do is curl up and watch some mindless TV and read, instead of being a responsible adult. On the way to the train station this morning after dropping Elizabeth off at school,

Bullets Does the Body Good

So, as October approaches (a little too fast), I realize how much stuff is going on. And because I’m having problems actually stringing a cognizant sentence together this morning, let’s present it in bullet format, ala the beautiful Zoot. There’s this little annual thing called Boobiethon. Last year I helped out on the photo-editing and donations side, which I just don’t have time for this year, but I just might possibly get the balls to

Last I Heard…

I’m trying very hard to work my out of this depression that has settled over me lately, but it’s been really hard. Really hard to get anything accomplished, let alone get ahead of the curve. I’ve had so many things pop into my head that I’ve wanted to share with y’all, but actually stopping and writing would be too difficult, especially considering some of the topics that I’ve felt that I want to write about.
