Am I the only one

who doesn’t like American Idol? I just don’t get it. I actually kind of loathe it being on. Of course the hub wants to watch (I swear, sometimes he is more girly than me….), but I might take a long bath whie its on. I deserve one. These past two weeks have been ridiculously stressful.
First, [...]

I Hereby Resolve…

I’ve never really been one for New Year’s resolutions. I usually just make something up at the last minute, and then either give up because its impossible or give up because I just don’t care that much.
This year though, there are actually things that I want to change about myself. In general I’m happy with [...]

Do you ever feel like

Do you ever feel like just packing everything up, going to a random new place, and starting your life over? I do. Kind of hard to do when you have a husband and a dog though.  *sigh*
(And yes, I realize I just got back from a 2 month trip, but its not exactly the same [...]

I love dresses

First off, I’m back and should be updating much more regularly now. Yay!
Now that I’m back to a semi-normal life, I’m really looking forward to dressign up again. I’m loving dresses right now. You know what I don’t love? The fact that its like 40 degrees out yet for some reason none of the dresses [...]

I’m still alive

If anyone’s been missing me, I’m still alive… just been working my ass off on a campaign. A few quick observations before I crash for the night…
-Sometimes I really hate being a woman in politics. I went to a fundraiser the other night, and the lobbyists were all being so freaking obnoxious to me. They [...]

PUMA

For such an ugly suit, it actually photographed nicely.
I’m honestly really mad that my delegates didn’t get to vote. Acclamation, my ass. WTF is that all about? Regardless of the outcome, i would really have liked for my vote to count.
I love her, and you know what? Maybe I did it more for her than [...]

Gross.

When I saw this picture of the State Senate trying to start session, my first thought was not “where is everyone?”* or even “hot damn, thats a lot of paper!” No, my thought was “What a fug carpet.”
Surely the taxpayers wouldn’t mind too much if they updated their digs a bit? I mean, new carpet [...]

Work Work Work

So after 12 straight days of working 14+ hours per day (damn bust time of the year!) you’d think I would relish having the weekend off (ok, on call). I planned on parking my butt on the couch and not moving. But of course, I never do what makes sense. instead, I have one of [...]

Just do it right, dammit!

So I recently reached a point in my career where I can -and am expected to- make other people do my work and then take most of the credit for it. It’s great! Except that I also have to take responsibility for it. I’m starting to understand why my boss used to get so mad [...]
