The Woodlands Biotch

bf has been fixing other people’s pc problems and installing networks and telephone systems for 15 years. in the time that i have known him, i have learned that anything computer related falls into one of three types of repair categories:
“this’ll only take a few minutes” – translates roughly to “this is totally easy, based [...]

they’re on sale, all over the place. of course i highly recommend getting them at heb. call me crazy, but i’m a firm believer that here, everything’s better.
which is funny, really — sidenote — i used to shop kroger religiously. thought their produce was the bomb-diggity. and i used to hate heb, i guess because [...]

that’s how long the ice cream man’s song is. i know this, because i have little choice but to hear it…

decided to drop in on that new little italian place up off of research forest drive last night, la trattoria. on our way there, i told bf we needed to try someplace new, it’d been a while since i’d biotched about bad food or bad service or both. great, he says to me, now you’ve [...]

Not that I needed any support in my opinion that Grimaldi’s just wasn’t up to snuff – I stand firm in my conviction that there must be better pizza out there somewhere…
