Meglet Rambles On

I love books. I’ve been reading since grade school, pretty much anything I could get my hands on that sounded entertaining. Books are a great escape from the daily stresses of life, and a great way to learn about other people and cultures and experiences without ever leaving the comfort of your home.
There was [...]

I hate roundabouts. Growing up on the left coast, roundabouts were something that existed in British TV shows and movies.
Then I took a 5-day road trip on the east coast with a friend. We had a saying, during that trip: Round and round and round we go, where we stop, nobody knows! It appears that [...]

I love Amazon. I could spend my entire month’s salary there, every month, if I didn’t have bills to pay and savings to aquire. It’s an addiction. But seriously, they sell EVERYTHING. The usual books, CDs, and DVDs, plus computer parts, camera equipment, electronics, bulk groceries (woohoo for 6-packs of beef jerky!) and household items [...]

If you’ve ever eaten at a Claim Jumper restaurant, there’s a good chance you’ve tried their Garlic Cheese Toast appetizer, commonly referred to among my friends as “Cheesy Bread.” The stuff is amazing and delicious, and I tend to order a platter as an appetizer, a few more pieces with dinner, and then a platter [...]

Between work, errands, and things to do around the house, I’ve been a bit busy lately. But I got everything finished up last night, and had hoped to write a nice long ramble about my collection habits. Instead, I ended up with a migraine. I hate migraines. I used to get them very frequently; at [...]

I love junk food. I prefer salty junk food, particularly Pringles, but I’ll rarely turn down candy when it’s offered. In fact, Pringles and Mt Dew are pretty much my standard breakfast, and my coworkers get a little nervous when I run out of either one, because I tend to get cranky. The new guy [...]

Friday, everybody said those of us who waited 5 hours or more in line for an iPhone were crazy. They said we should just wait a couple days, and there would be no lines, and then we could just walk into an Apple store and buy an iPhone.
Well, now that Apple stores in 24 states [...]

I tend to wash my car about twice a year, whether it needs it or not-and it does always seem to need it. That’s one of the reasons I chose the “Desert Sand” color when I bought my truck, it hides dirt fairly well. I usually refer to the color as “Shiny Road Dirt.”
When I [...]

A few weeks ago, I got tired of the lack of space, not to mention the lack of hangers, in my closet. So I spent an afternoon cleaning out the closet and the dresser. I was not terribly surprised to discover things like 3 pairs of pants that haven’t fit in 10 years, and anywhere [...]

So I spent part of the weekend visiting my parents in central Washington. As usual when visiting my parents, there are computer questions to be answered. My mom finally joined the digital world with a MacBook Pro about a year ago, and while she still states that she “hates the computer” it’s usually sitting on [...]
