I filed my taxes via Turbotax. I went back and both Fed and state had been accepted. I printed the forms. I filed my DCN. Now all I need to do is pay the IRS the $520 I still owe them. (Normally I wouldn’t have tax due, but like an idiot I took money out […]

As you can see at iowa chicks knitting, I started a knitting project that is not tiny little Amma doll clothes. I’m so geeked out! Perhaps it’s time for me to turn into a bonafide knittress.

I visited Meredith Hirsch Salon last Monday and got my hair cut. I also bought some yummy-smelling product. Yay! I haven’t had a pro hair cut in several years; lately I’ve just been hacking it off with kitchen shears when it gets too ratty looking. Meredith knows my style and gave me your basic wash-and-go […]

I’ve bid on a Saitek Slimline Keyboard over at eBay. The auction ends in three hours and I’m the only bidder, so I might actually get it. Last winter I bought an iPAQ kit that included a “keyboard” (and I use the term loosely); Tahmi told me I wouldn’t like it – she said all […]

Now what I really want out of life, besides for this joy-killing life-sucking uncomfortable fucking sinus infection to GO AWAY, is a USB hub shaped like a flying saucer and lit up from within with green LEDs. Why don’t I have one of those?
