Luke, I Am Your Father

Of course we're still ALL dressing up for Halloween--it's friggin' FUN!!

Attack of the Zombies!!!

They've invaded!!!

Asian Frog-Spiders

I get my toenails painted at the local nail salon because I am a woman and I am lazy (according to my husband). Since it's October, I opted for a Halloween theme. I thought it would be cute to have a spiderweb with a spider on my big toes. Apparently in Asia, they have spiders that look like frogs: (pay no attention to the wrinkly toes--look at the damned toenail art!)

(for you men who don't get the reference to Asia, ask any woman about who paints her toenails at the nail salon)

I Know I'm Getting Older When...

My doctor has ordered me to go get my first mammogram. That's right--I will be going to put my boobs in a vice, just to get a baseline picture for future reference. And I will be paying someone to do that to me.

I'm so excited...just like all you men who have to get your first prostate exam...

Baptism By Fire

A while back I was at a crossroads--my job wasn't satisfying and I felt the tug of needing to spend more quality time with my family. That's all out the window for now--I have moved into a different job at my company. I am now the Diesel Momma!


As people at work learn that I am now in charge of this complex, critical job--they laugh. And I smile because I don't know any better. OK, yes I do--I knew what I was getting myself into. And so far, I love it!


It's great to go to work and have a clear, tangible end goal to work towards with my team. It's great to feel like I'm actually making some progress--even with the many problems standing in the way. Granted, I have resorted to begging and bribery to get some things done--but who hasn't? And of course, I fell overwhelmed by the many systems--electrical and mechanical--and the various states of completion each component is in.


I could've been given something "easier" to handle, but I instead got thrown into the fire. So far, I'm withstanding it fairly well and even having some fun!

In Case You Missed My Point

No, I'm not one of those people who bombard my entire contacts list with political e-mails...I just saw this the other day on Facebook and stole it because I'm too busy to make a real blog post.
