Where Angela runs around these here parts while listening to her husband’s playlist

I am on vacation — and as a series of quasi-coherent posts about how wonderful my family is, and how beautiful the beach is, and how drunk I might be at a time that would normally be a completely inappropriate time for me to be drunk might not go over all that well, I have… Continue reading Where Angela runs around these here parts while listening to her husband’s playlist

Where I talk about my upcoming vacation

I woke up this morning thinking today was Friday. This is not uncommon, but, considering my plans for next week, it was doubly rough. See, next week, I’ll be on vacation — during those times that I’m used to sitting in a cubicle, or on a conference call, or wondering why I’m all alone in… Continue reading Where I talk about my upcoming vacation

There was some napping that happened. All in… Continue reading Where I realize that not all trips for ice cream are created equally
