note to self…

January 15, 2012

No, Cami, you’re not dying.  Nor do you have some strange illness.  You simply ate a lot of beets.  Stop freaking out every time you pee.   (this, my friends, is what passes for blog fodder around here) Tweet This Post

meh is in the middle, emotionally speaking…

December 4, 2011

Meh: Waking up at 7:30 on a Sunday morning and actually having to drag my ass out of bed and be social and friendly… Not really on the list of stuff I’m good at.  Nor is it on the list of stuff I want to be good at.  But I’ll manage when… Nice:  My parents [...]

and then it went down…

December 2, 2011

I was happily sitting using an internet connection that was not my own so I could work while waiting for my daughter to get out of class.  Best of both worlds kind of moment.  I’m here waiting when she gets finished and I’m using my time wisely to get work done.  I was feeling downright [...]

I don’t even know what to call my cheese puff post…

November 12, 2011

I haven’t had cheese puffs in years.  Excuse me.  Cheese Puffs.  They’re a proper noun, right?  Anyway, Cheese Puffs…  I try not to eat them because they have absolutely no redeeming value.  Except the cheesy puffy goodness I recall from my youth.  The savory fluffy cheesy goodness melting on my tongue. Yum. So even though [...]

miss manners should tackle facebook…

November 7, 2011

When I was younger I thought I’d be living the life of the Jetson family by now.  I pictured living in my high (high high high) rise condo with flying cars and a robot maid to do my dishes, laundry and clean the floors.  Yeah, even then I knew I’d hate cleaning floors.  As a [...]

because I’m going to, that’s why…

November 1, 2011

It seems a little odd since I haven’t even found the muse to write here regularly but I’ve decided to participate in NaNoWriMo again this year.  Call me crazy (Really.  It’s okay.  You can.) but I think at the moment it’s a good thing for me. Do I expect anything grand to come of it?  [...]

the perfect night…

October 10, 2011

I have big plans for tonight.  Big plans.  Huge.  On the scale of plan greatness the plans I have could be considered epic.  That isn’t to say they can’t be improved.  As a matter of fact I have a few things in mind that would make my evening epic squared.  It could go from being [...]

hiding at WordCamp making words and stuff…

September 18, 2011

I’ve spent the weekend at WordCamp Portland.  You know… with the wordy people.  But it seemed strange to be here and not be blogging about it so while others poured into sessions I opted to pull up a patch of floor in the hallway and hide to write this post. At this point I should [...]

dear laptop…

September 14, 2011

This is not the first note I’ve written to you today, dear laptop.  Earlier I asked why you won’t add a period when I double space after a sentence.  It’s not like I was holding you personally responsible.  It’s not like I thought it was JUST you.  It’s the entire computing industry.  I’m just so [...]

a note on creepy men…

September 12, 2011

This isn’t about the socially awkward slightly clueless guys that can’t really figure out how to approach a woman.  Not guys that stumble over their words.  It isn’t the shy guys.  It isn’t even about the overly confident cocky assholes who think they’re god’s gifts to women.  This is for the creeps.  A bit of [...]
