Who, me? Crazy? No way.

With the upcoming arrival of my sister to town and living with me I’ve been thinking of all the things that will have to change in my house now that I have a roommate again. After living with the BGF and her husband for two years I had trained myself not to do many of [...]

Me: “Hello?”
Norman: “Hi, Emmy.”
Me: “Hi Norman! How are you?”
N: “Good.” Pause. “How are you?”

N: “Good.” Pause. “How’s your work?”
M: “Oh, it’s fine. A lot of work, but you know how things get. It’s busy this time of year.”
Pause
M: “Norman, you still there?”
N: [...]

In my quest to be more positive and less pessimistic (which, at this stage, is really incredibly hard), I will now list things I like, NOT things I hate. Wish me luck.
1) Mystery stains on the carpet that actually turn out to be clumps of cat fur that are relatively easy to pick up [...]
Purging Stress

As I’ve been kindly told by everyone around me, I haven’t posted in months. I’m really glad everyone can count. Kidding, really. So, here I am on a Tuesday night, my head pounding with what I’m sure is a stress induced migraine, avoiding the millions of things I need to do in [...]

I finally did it. I lost all sense of control and went nuts. Well, not nuts in the sense that people died by my hand wielding a dull axe, but in the metaphorical sense it was the same damn thing. Allow me to provide a background.
Last night my sister and I actuall [...]
My sister eats electricity for breakfast

When I lived alone (which, in case anyone was wondering, was heavenly) the most my electricity bill ever cost me was about forty dollars. That was in the dead of summer, when I don’t think the air conditioner ever shut off. Ever. Plus, it was only one month that this happened.

I’m not sure what the boys living above us are doing in their apartment. Really. Certain noises, while extremely annoying, have logical explanations. The thump of a bass, perhaps, or the laugh track of a sitcom. Even rhythmic pounding on the floor…you get the idea. These boys, however, don’t choose [...]
Am I insane?

You ever have those moments when things, in theory, sound really, really good, but in reality are completely nuts? Of course you do. Even if you don’t, just humor me. Like, for instance, last year when I was trying to figure out how in the world I was going to afford another $450 apartment that [...]
