Pretty Puppies!

By jesser | Published: 9:46 pm

We watched the IAMS Eukanuba Tournament of Champions this evening on Animal Planet. I'm a bit of a closet dog-show nerd. I really love to watch all of the pretty dogs prancing around. The dogs on there are absolutely gorgeous (not that I don't have a special place in my heart for mutts). The working [...]

Telemarketers

By jesser | Published: 8:11 am

Tammy: Good morning is Matthew there? Me: No. And he's never here during week days, he works. And you keep calling, sometimes 3 times a day. So can you PLEASE stop calling? Please take him off your list. Tammy (sounding a bit taken aback): Yes, sure. We can umm take you off the list for [...]

A Real Bed

By jesser | Published: 7:29 pm

Our current bed is great. The only problem, we don’t really have one. What we have is very nice mattress and box spring sitting on the floor. Since the mattress is a huge pillow top, it sits pretty far off the ground, its actually higher off than our old dorm beds were. Also, because of [...]

Sitcom Television Charchters, Dictators, and May

By jesser | Published: 8:51 am

As a (what I thought would be) 5 minute diversion, I started playing Guess the Dictator or Television Sitcom Character. I'm trying to make it guess DJ Conner from Roseanne. It's about 40 questions into it … It seems to be quite lost, making very pointed qustions, most of which are way off. I should [...]

I Worked So Hard!

By jesser | Published: 10:00 am

I worked like crazy yesterday on Jesser (read: 1 hour) but somehow I didn't manage to write anything down. Well I'm changing that today … obviously. I've been a bit low on energy, so I had a nice lie-in this morning. I was still up by 8:30 but it sure beats the icky 6:30 Matt [...]

It's Cracktastic!

By jesser | Published: 11:00 pm

I just watched an episode of Trading Spaces: Boys Vs. Girls. It's like it's grown-up counterpart, except that kids participate and there's an extra carpenter to lend a hand. There also seems to be a much larger budget. And if you thought some of the rooms on Trading Spaces were cracktastic, you ain't seen nothin' [...]

Back to Zzzzz …

By jesser | Published: 6:41 am

I'm tired! I went to bed at a sort of reasonable hour and then I very unreasonably couldn't sleep. I don't know why. I don't make up the rules. It's a nice morning though. Well if you don't have to get up and take the puppy out. As it's freezing cold and snowing again. But [...]
