The other day, while lamenting the still-no-day-job situation, I caught myself wondering how things would have been had I not left [job I had for almost six years to take work from home job for twice the dough but now sitting here jobless]. I then slapped myself for having the slightest thought that things would [...]

Granted it was [...]

It’s possible we watch too much TV (Or House, MD)
by Amy on 23. Mar, 2008 in My Every Day
“Even if the pain goes away, shouldn’t they figure out why [his sister-in-law] keeps having it?” “I need to tell my brother that they need House.” “Seriously, after watching that show, I don’t trust regular doctors anymore.” “From now on I want TV actors to meet all of my medical needs as well as run [...]
Jesus rose from the dead and then laced up his skates
by Amy on 21. Mar, 2008 in My Every Day

Wishing I was in Austin
by Amy on 07. Mar, 2008 in My Every Day

It’s still warmer there than it is here. I would love to be complaining about such frigid temps. Every year SXSW comes along, and after it’s [...]
