I love hearing from readers, not as much as I love wine, but a VERY close second!

Thanks!

another site meter goodie:

who searches this stuff? seriously. i’m party appalled and partly intrigued.

just another manic monday

getting on the freeway today i saw a billboard reading “hell just froze over”. great, hell just froze over and there’s a demon in my windshield wipers. appropriate.

it was pouring rain this morning and my wipers wouldn’t stop making a clicking noise. i cannot stand car noises. typically, to fix them i just turn the radio up. this time the radio isn’t going to solve the problem–it’s that loud! it’s going to be a long, long winter.

i should have stayed in bed.

my future straight from the hands of the charlie chow gods:

looks like i can finally stop bothering with wearing my pesky seatbelt. seriously. I am set fo’ life, yo!

at home with the kids

with thanksgiving just around the corner, i’ve been given a taste of the kids table. everyone’s family is the same, right? grown-up table in one room, the kids table complete with the drunk uncle in another room. i was fortunate enough to be thrown with the kids for years. it’s cool, kids are way more fun, even if their conversations revolving around harry potter leave me silent– it’s still better than the alternative. the past few years i’ve been stuck with the adults, as hard as i tried to get around it, i was stuck in the adult work discussing republican politics. yikes!

last night the in staff went to the taste of utah, where we stuck out like sore thumbs. clad in jeans and a tee-shirt i was a little surprised and mortified to find it a suit and tie affair. i found our table and was relieved to find i was sitting at the kids table, conveniently located close to the bar and exit. i was content just not to be stuck anywhere near the multiple guys seen wearing bow ties. isn’t there a law that stops anyone under 70 from purchasing those? well there should be! the only bow tie i want at dinner is in a pasta salad.

i can keep my own with the perma tan crowd, i just need to know what i’m getting into. i keep extra make-up around for those events. however, i’m without aging stripper clothing. something i must work on ASAP!

just another working friday..

when you work with geeks your day is filled with geek activities:
i don’t call him ddr for nothing!

birthday dilemma solved, with a little saintly assistance–column, 11.9.06

go here to read this week’s column, unless you’re a family member of mine, then this week just skip it. trust me.

mom, i mean it. no dead turkey day holiday for you! i’ll stay in salt lake and eat at village inn. this is no idle threat, remember i like pancakes.

fire has evolved:

this was presented to me last night, and it’s quite possibly my new favorite thing! i’m keeping it with me always, and i don’t even smoke…

fun info provided by site meter!

when searching on google for “drunk sis tales” you’re directed to my site. awesome. my parents must be so proud. i have a sinking feeling this is not going to make the christmas newsletter, but then i have a feeling since creating this blog all parental bragging rights have been revoked.

democrats really know how to party!

good times at the democratic party celebration tonight!
rob miller looking confident and handsome as always!
larry, my second favorite tractor owner!
joe hatch & his aid justin wiley!
diane turner, fabulous as usual!
bob & ddr
pete ashdown and his adorable jackie-esque wife!
bob toasting the dems! ok, that’s a lie, he’s really just holding my drink, but if he did drink this would be the pose!
“the polls show what”??!
making peace with my inner geek, and blogging from the ashdown headquarters!

election day fever!!

for me, election day has an excitement factor comparable to christmas. if i could somehow incorporate recieving more than the i voted sticker, it could easily become my new favorite holiday! i haven’t voted yet. i like the giddy feeling to last as long as possible, therefore i wait until the last second to vote. it’s sappy and geeky, but it’s me.

i want to wish all the democratic candidates the best of luck today, specifically: diane turner, pete ashdown, joe hatch, rob miller, richard watson, and last but not least larry wiley. i’m rooting for you guys and am looking forward to hearing the news of your wins!

also, for the first time i’m going to attend the state democratic shin-dig tonight, and am very much looking foward to it. if you see me, come say hi!
