5. what is your favorite blog (personal, news or entertainment)?

today's fun fact

did you know that dog's get acne? me either until my husband brought our older dog Shelbie from the vet. during her yearly exam, he asked the vet about this big red bump on the bottom of her top lip. he said it was a zit and squeezed all the gross out of it.

i guess she has a hormone face too.

a note to mother nature

dear mother nature,

there is nothing cool about what is going on right now. i am sarcastically giving you a big thanks for the uber awesome combo of lady time and, well, its hard to even type out the word. let's just say the results that you get from taking antibiotics. can you die from that kind of issue because i feel like i might. its been a month. or has it been two?

yeah - one more thing to thank you for - hormone face. that's why i am taking the antibiotics.

back at last

it's been a few years since i have seriously blogged, and I think I have the itch again. diaryofageek.com started in the late 90's and even though i stopped writing, i kept the domain (it's the geek in me).

is anyone else out there worried about job security? i haven't been until the past few months and every now and then it creeps up on me out of nowhere.

today was one of those days.

nothing really happened, just recalling past conversations with official corporate peeps, co-workers and other randoms. i got my resume in order - just in case. i have been with scripps for 10 years - have no desire to leave. but the comment "by the time you know its over, its too late" keeps popping into mind.

the other thing i can't turn off in my mind would be babies. well, baby singular. wtf? i am not ready to have one, matt can barely say the word baby, but yet i think about it all the time. maybe i should hang out more at wal-mart. that's usually where i swear (aloud) that i hate kids and never want to have them (among other things). but does hanging out at wal-mart really solve anything besides wasting money on cheap clothes, expensive handguns and fake jewelry?

it's good to be back.
