Bye Bye, Pie!

June must think of title. June not feeling it right now. June hits Publish anyway.

I worked till 10:00 last night, on freelance stuff, and my real work was busy yesterday, too, but at one point one of you wrote me. "I left you a tip." "Oh, you did? Wow, thanks!" Eventually, I got over... Read more →

Freelance work is here

For the next week, I will be proofreading a textbook when I'm not at my regularly scheduled job. I will not be here a lot, and also if you know me in real life, I will not be phoning with... Read more →

Thank heaven for Angie's List

I've been working. You know how I told you money is tight? Like, hello boa constrictor tight? Like, night before payday I can't have dinner tight? One of the millennials at work told me you can take surveys online for... Read more →

She's mite-y mite-y, just lettin' it all hang out

I know that since you got the news yesterday about my dust mite allergy that you've been hoping and praying and writing your congressmen and so on, but I'm still here. I want my bravery to inspire others. I particularly... Read more →

What's the best cereal? When did you look your best?

I took this yesterday and just now noticed the cross growing out of my head. How'm I gonna wear my hats? Crap. I have an early doctor's appointment (finally going to the allergy place) so I've got to go. Talk... Read more →

June kvetches. How many posts start with that?

"That Santa is out in front of The Friendly Center," announced Ned on the phone. The Friendly Center is this outdoor shopping place that's probably been around since the '50s, and they keep adding elaborate stores like Apple and Anthropologie.... Read more →

Coffee break

"How rich was Mr. Howell, do you think?" I asked Ned. He was helping me do things, miserable things, around the house. "Really rich," said Ned. "In the opening credits, they called him The Millionaire. ...Of course, if he was... Read more →

I really thought y'all were gonna write my name in

What I'm not going to do? Drone on about politics when half of you feel one way, half feel the opposite. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you. What I am going to do? Make you hear about... Read more →

Lottie and the Big-Girl Bed

Last night, when I headed to bed, Lottie was already in there, fast asleep. She looked so cute, and she's been doing so well with not going in the house, that I thought, "Maybe she can sleep in the big-girl... Read more →

Hand Jumping June

Yesterday was ridik. I had to take my car into the shop, which I think I've told you now 800 times, and you'd think I was taking it in to get it tricked out. You'd think my car was transitioning.... Read more →

Secret day

I have to get to work early, and I won't be able to post at all tomorrow. I have to go early to the car place and get my headlight and taillight replaced. Yes, both are out. On two different... Read more →

Wall E

I had a dream that I was helping Jesus build a wall to keep out foreigners. I kept saying, "Really? Cause this doesn't seem like something you'd--okay. Hand me a nail. YOU'RE the carpenter, here, but okay." Maybe I shouldn't... Read more →

The devil in Miss Lottie

Yesterday was a stupid day that resulted in Ned breaking into my house and me working till 8:30. I had a meeting at noon, except I'd gotten the invitation to the meeting one night after midnight and it woke me... Read more →

Jone

10:13 p.m. I'm very delighted with my new "add the time" thing I'm doing. I'm blogging at night because I have to be at work early tomorrow. I thought I'd get the whole blogging thing in so it doesn't trip... Read more →

Mike and the bittwersweet croc

7:19 a.m. This morning I was peeing, and Lottie ran in, took the toilet paper off the holder, and ran off. You know how all your life you've said, How can anyone beat a puppy? I have your answer. Numbers... Read more →

Thank heavens for Angie's List

Ludicrous morning that can already bite me. Also, I have what sounds like an ancient man coming over at noon to tell me how much to build a deck on my mud yard. Therefore, when can I blog? WHEN? When... Read more →

The one where Joon does nothing

I've realized that I left my iron and ironing board at Ned's. I am thinking about it, and I think getting new versions of both would be less awful than having to contact Ned and get them back. So. Yay.... Read more →

A parade of Junes. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Is it payday? It just occurred to me that maybe it is. That would be a beautiful thing. I think last time I checked I had 72 dollars. Speaking of which, Friend in Real Life and I Think Faithful Reader... Read more →

June Drew

For some reason, mostly "organized," I have two little squares on my desktop, and hey, computer-savvy. One reads "iPhoto" and one reads "Pictures," which is not at all confusing. Actually, it usually isn't. I know that if I plug in... Read more →

Okay, shhhh

I am buried in work, both at work and at home with my freelance stuff. Ima take a few days off from blogging just to keep on schedule. The puppy will be here late Sunday (long story), and as soon... Read more →

In which a statistics textbook is ignored

New birth. New girth.

Dood. Oh my god. I know I'm a high weight when my thighs touch at the tops, and lately they've been reaching out and touching someone, which bothers. I've been FEELING phat, too, but I've been afraid to weigh myself.... Read more →
