Processing the Upgrade

Hear ye, hear ye, management hath decreed that all staff shall have a new PC whether they need it or not. Well, actually, I sort of do need a new computer. My old office machine was perfectly fine until it was loaded down with bloated programs that require more resources to run than the city of New York.

The Me Day

Last week I was feeling sorry for myself. Like many women, I tend to take care of the needs of others and forget about myself. It was wearing me down. Time to take care of me, I decided.

I made the announcement to my family: "I will not be on duty this Saturday; I am taking a 'me' day."

The Fresh, Not Frozen Pizza

We were at the grocery store when I spotted something that looked good, fresh unbaked pizza. It would make a quick supper when we got home, so I tossed it in the cart. I was sure fresh pizza would taste much better than frozen and be quicker than a carry-out pizza.

Sea Cow Interview

In view of the recent media flap over a plus-size dress called "manatee gray" sold by Target, I felt it my journalistic duty to tell the other side of the story.

It has been widely reported that when Target found out plus-size women were insulted by having a dress named after a sea cow, they quickly apologized and changed the name to plain old gray.

Interview with Peter Cottontail

Today we have a special treat for you, an interview with a childhood favorite, the Easter Bunny.

Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule today. It's sad but some people do not believe in you. How do you feel about that?

Are You Smarter than Your Smart Phone?

I lost my phone today. . . again. I think maybe I am not smart enough to have a smart phone. I am a loser. I first missed it at work this morning. I always put it in my pocket so it will be handy if it rings. I dug and dug in my purse, but it wasn't there. I was not too worried. I must have left it at home. Drat it! No checking email at lunch today or surfing the internet. It was an aggravation, but I would survive.

How to Stretch Shoes

The shoes felt fine in the store, but when I got them home, they suddenly didn't fit. I can't understand it. They are the same size I always wear. A larger size would be too big. They will stretch out after I wear them a few times, I thought, but I couldn't wear them long enough to stretch them. I found myself hobbling around the office or kicking them off under the desk. So, I did what any woman facing such a dilemma would do. I hid them in the back of the closet and tried to forget about them.

In Pursuit of a Purse

As all ladies know, we must have a purse to haul about our "stuff." The amount of stuff needed depends on the individual lady, but all of us need something to carry it in, whether large or small.

 As Seen On TV

Do you ever get tempted by those TV commercials and become the proud owner of something you don't need? You know the kind of commercial, "Hurry and buy now and we will send you two instead of one." Oh, you get the item, but it is always something of questionable quality that you would never buy in a store. You don't need one, much less two.

The Fashion Police Are On Duty

Someone played what they thought was a hilarious joke and subscribed me to a free online dating service called ChristianMingle. I thought it was a law that email subscriptions must give you a link to unsubscribe. However, I clicked the unsubscribe link and it took me to the web site with no way to quit.
