The Catherinette Chronicles

I just threw up in my mouth a little, no really.  Damn it, why did I have to be eating lunch?  Vomit taste in my mouth.  YUCK!
Like I do most days at work, I was fooling around on the internet.  Long story short, I ended up on the Etsy site.  If you’ve never seen it [...]

I have come to the conclusion that 2008 has been a crap year.  You’ll never guess where I wound up on Sunday morning?  The Emergency Room.  AGAIN!  No, it has nothing to do with what landed me in the hospital early in the year, but it still pretty much sucked anyway. 
It all started on Saturday [...]

I just spent the last 90 minutes getting drilled in the mouth, and being surrounded by Pro Lube, and dental dams.  And I don’t mean in the same way that Foxy Luv does-in stall #1 of the men’s room at the local bus station.  Rather, it was take 2 of my wonderful root canal.  You know the [...]

Here I am, off in the lovely English countryside.  Though the weather has been a little wet (shocker for England, I know), we’re enjoying the trip.  It’s easy to forget that my cubicle is back home waiting for me, and at this very second, someone is probably setting up an appointment for some stupid ass [...]

You want sad?  I’ll give you sad.  No, it’s not the death of a loved one.  It has nothing to do with the cancellation of your favorite TV program.  Sadness isn’t losing your favorite shoe to your teething puppy.  It’s not accidentally dropping your cherry red ipod into your coffee.  It’s not when your pet dies.  It’s not [...]

Oh how I heart taking time off of work. It’s one of my favorite past times, right behind doing it, mocking people, and enjoying a delicious cocktails with friends. There’s a special kind of joy in sleeping in and knowing your poor, poor friends had to drag themselves out of bed at some ungodly hour [...]

Dear Life,
What have I done to deserve this treatment? No. Really? I do not molest small children. I do not torture small animals. I have never even taken a magnifying glass to an ant. Come on, now. Why must it pour when it rains?
First, the mess at home with 3D. Fine, it’s semi dealt with [...]

This weekend marks a first for me: 3D took me home to meet his parents. We’re midway through month 2 of our whirlwind romance and meeting the family seemed like a good idea. He’s done an exceptionally good job of hiding how well his parents have done for themselves. He apparently forgot to mention that [...]

It’s freaking hot as sin outside today. Why must it be so hot? Why? Can’t we just have a few nice weeks before it starts feeling like we live inside a volcano? Boo, I say. Sure, I missed the last week in May and the first week in June due to illness, but still. I [...]
