I arrived to work this morning to find a whole *crew* of facilities guys working on the HVAC system in our building. Could this mean an end to my at-work hot flashes?!?!

Yes, I’m frustrated with the idiots I call classmates in Law for Women. Yes, the Rangers lost last night. And yes, Wal-Mart is basically the devil. That doesn’t mean I hafta get all bent out of shape, though, because Daniel — bless him — says we can go to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra tomorrow night …

… but I’m going to anyway, while I’m sorta in the mood (see below). So, I’m taking this “Law for Women” class, right? And the bulk of our work in this class has been participating in a number of discussions in response to specific questions throughout the semester, generally two or three questions per week. …

I used to own stock in Wal-Mart, and today’s one of the days that makes me proud to say that’s very much a past-tense thing. I say that because of something I heard on the radio this morning, while sitting (at a complete stop) on I-35 (ahh, the joys of my commute) listening to the …

So last night was TWU night at the Rangers. I was somewhat overwhelmed by the fact that, even though we sold out of our group tickets, we were a drop in the bucket of the 23,000+ people at the game. Our “swarm” of maroon was barely visible. Oh well. At least they didn’t advertise our …

I missed Monday morning trivia yesterday, but am happy to bring you this week’s random question on a 24-hour delay. 🙂 You know from last week that I play (or rather, used to play) the piano. That’s only one of the instruments in my musical history, though. Which of the following musical instruments have I …

Last Friday was our trip to San Antonio for Niosa, the thing where thousands of people crowd into a small area to drink and eat to excess. Are you sitting down? I had fun. I’ve always said I can deal with crowds if I have enough advanced notice, and apparently the eight months since I …

Growing up, my cousin Tracy and I loved everything about baseball. We watched the Braves on TBS and collected Topps baseball cards for years. She lusted after Mark Grace, while I preferred the likes of Dale Murphy. Tracy had a natural aptitude for softball that only grew over time; I, on the other hand, ran …

The May issue of D Magazine lists “52 Things Every Dallasite Must Do.” UPDATE: They’ve just posted the full list online, but I’ll give you the abbreviated rundown here. Sadly, though, I can only say I’ve done — geez — FOUR of the 52. That’s appalling. Here I was thinking I was doing a pretty …

Last night (a day earlier than usual), I headed over to Weight Watchers to get in my weekly weigh-in and meeting. That’s because I’ve got an awards thingy at TWU tonight I have to go to — more on that later tonight. Anyway, week 3 wasn’t as good, but it was still a net loss: …
