I'm so frustrated right now. I've technically been on jury duty all this week, despite me making it perfectly clear that I am the ONLY person who can work while my boss is gone this week and my coworker is out of state. To make things extra fun, my boss doesn't pay people to serve on jury duty (honestly, I can't believe any employer would), so in addition to the inconvenience to myself, my employer, and our patients, I will actually be losing money. A lot of it. Luckily, my number hasn't been selected - until tonight for tomorrow morning. What exactly is so hard about giving people a little more advance notice? This is the exact crap in the link they emailed to me: ALL JURORS MUST CHECK THIS WEBSITE AGAIN THURSDAY AT 11:30 A.M. FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON INSTRUCTIONS. And when I wasn't selected (again) for that, they linked to this: ALL JURORS MUST CHECK THIS WEBSITE AGAIN THURSDAY EVENING AT 5:30 P.M. FOR FRIDAYS INSTRUCTIONS.  ALL JURORS ARE ON CALL UNTIL M

The reason I decided to make taco salad for dinner was so I could take a photo of the awesome tortilla taco salad shells I make for my blog. I've heard that you should always be sure you have all the ingredients you need before you begin making a recipe. I discovered halfway into cooking that Sexy Nerd had eaten the last tortillas. Taco Salad Recipe Serves 3 Step one: Heat a little olive oil in a pan and cook some meat. In this example, we are having steak. Step Two: Add 3/4 C of marinade. No marinade? Use the juice of 1 lime, cilantro, garlic, and 1/2 C of salsa. Reduce heat and cover. We did have marinade, but only because I found it in the clearance isle at Target. Cut up 1 head of romaine lettuce, 2 tomatoes, and dice an onion. Toss everything together in a large bowl. Add 1/2 a can of kidney beans and 1/2 a can of corn to the bowl. I always rinse my canned vegetables first, as I've heard it reduces their insanely high sodium con

HGTV is going to announce the winner of the 2010 HGTV Dream Home in Sandia Park, NM in just a few days (March 15 at 8pm ET/PT). I'm sorry if you thought you were going to win it, but you're not. Who will the winner be? Sexy Nerd and I are going to win the HGTV Dream Home! WOO HOO!! What makes me so sure? How do I know?? Well, technically I don't know for sure ...but I've become attached to the idea and figure that sending "Sexy Nerd and I are going to win the 2010 HGTV Dream Home" vibes out into the universe can't hurt! You can help by repeating after me: "Sexy Nerd and Lamb are going to win the 2010 HGTV Dream Home. The LambAround blog is the best blog ever and I will visit all of the sponsors. Pica and Biscuit will look cute and happy in the 2010 HGTV Dream Home. They can share the kid's room." Don't feel bad about us winning instead of you. I will take zillions of photos and post them here! It's a win-win situation

Kitty Deschanel Aloha! Hi there! I'm a blogger of Sexy (Nerd) adventures and a lifelong insomniac.  Yes, even as a baby! My family says I was a nightmare. Frankly, I think they're still a little bit mad at me all these years later. I was born in Australia, grew up in the bustling Bay Area, and moved to dusty Albuquerque shortly before high school. I have a degree in psychology from the University of New Mexico. Here on my blog, I started out writing about whatever random things interested me and have since narrowed in on just a few topics based on posts that performed well, such as cosmetic procedures, wine, and Amerisleep mattress reviews. Give your audience what they want, right? Also, I've worked in a pediatric dental office for more than a decade, so don't expect to see any baby posts around here any time soon. My job is the best birth control in the world! Favorite Book: Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien
