The Great Kibbles Shortage of 2010

I made the executive decision on Friday not to buy dog food until Monday.  There were still some kibbles left in the bottom of the dog food container, so it didn’t seem like a big decision at the time.  Flash forward to Sunday morning, and I realized that my spatial calculations were off on Friday. …

Is it bedtime yet?

Okay, I was ready to gloat.  I only got four hours of sleep last night, and I was feeling fine.  In fact, I was 48 minutes early for work this morning and arrived with a delicious cup of peach iced tea in hand.  All in all, I was pretty impressed with myself. Then I went…

Dove Promises (Or do they?)

I’m not a huge chocolate eater most of the time.  Despite that, I got a bag of Dove Promises chocolates a few years ago.  It wasn’t a particularly noteworthy experience except that I remember vaguely liking the things they said inside each wrapper.  Keep in mind that I had low expectations for the promises inside…

Book Review Monday

It’s another Monday, and those tend to involve books in my profession.  I thought I would pass the fun along to you.  Aren’t you excited?  There’s even a theme for today’s books.
