Life is Like a Rollercoaster, Not a Freaking Box of Chocolates
February 6th, 2012
At least…my life is. Somewhat. I have highs… And then I have lows. Unfortunately for me, my lows are pretty effing low. I mean, dig down 6 feet into the ground low. My aunt recently had a birthday party, and I was all gung-ho to help her celebrate but then when the party actually happened… [...]
Stand Down
January 5th, 2012
WE CAN ALL CALM DOWN NOW PEOPLE. THE MEDICATION HAS BEEN FOUND. As it turned out, the medication WAS on the kitchen counter, but if you knew how full of drugs medicine and helpful products my kitchen counter is, you’d understand why it wasn’t easy to find. The damn bottle was actually on its side [...]
The Cure for What Ails You
November 19th, 2011
You ever had a really shitty day? Of course you have. If you haven’t, I don’t even know how you could relate to ANYTHING I say on here. I’ve been having a shitty few weeks. Medical issues. Relationship issues. Kiddie issues! Mommy issues – as in, MY mommy, not me BEING a mommy. (That would [...]
It’s Hot and Beautiful Outside
May 27th, 2011
…just like me. In your face, Shit-oshi Kanazawa. (I know, infantile…but what do you expect from a woman who hangs out with a 7-year old and a 3-year old all day?) I’m feeling good. It’s a long weekend. The Tech Guru is already on his way home, although he just texted me that he is [...]
Why I’m Freaking Out Today
May 20th, 2011
Two very good reasons: 1. Punksin is going camping with her Girl Scout troop tonight for 2 nights. I know she’ll be fine, but you don’t understand. Except for the time when Pudding was in ICU for 4 days and I had to spend the nights with him, this child has never spent a night [...]
What I’m Giving Up for Lent
March 9th, 2011
Today is Ash Wednesday, and if I had made any progress yet in taking off my pajamas, I would be in church by now, getting my forehead daubed with ashes to remind me that one day I will be ash again. (Although if all goes as I plan, I won’t be ash, I’ll be fish [...]
And You May Ask Yourself, How Did I Get Here?
August 31st, 2010
The Matrix is without a doubt one of my most favorite movies ever, not only for the kick-ass action sequences but also for its interesting philosophical questions. As someone who believes that the world we live in is largely a world of illusion through which we navigate to something deeper and more profound, I was [...]
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
August 27th, 2010
That’s a little Mister Rogers for you. It actually is a beautiful day. A tad too cool for my tastes but I guess that’s what happens when you live in the Northeast; eventually, fall starts to rear its ugly orange, yellow and brown head. So this is when I need to go into overdrive to [...]
The Price of Beauty
August 26th, 2010
I colored my hair last night, not because I’m graying or anything (I am but I don’t care), but because what the hell else was there to do? And I have colored my hair for years with no problem, just so you know, but I don’t know what happened last night. All I know is, [...]
Blessings
August 23rd, 2010
Okay, again with the Chookooloonks, but today she initiated #complainfreemondays on Twitter. I think that, for the most part, it’s been a success: people have tried to find the good in things they might normally gripe about, like the sheer fact of it being Monday, or the gloomy weather outside. But it is interesting to [...]
