If I were science, I’d be embarrassed

January 15, 2012

The last few days I’ve been sick. And yesterday I made the mistake of watching the movie, Contagion. Normally this wouldn’t be a bad thing (watching a movie whilst ill) except my symptoms are the EXACT SAME symptoms as those in the movie. You know, the symptoms that killed almost everybody on the entire planet. [...]

It wasn’t supposed to happen like this

January 12, 2012

It wasn’t the day I had planned. You see, it was supposed to go like this. I was going to the dentist, where I would be sedated in a sort of zoned out twilight “sleep” so I wouldn’t freak out about having gum surgery. And then I would be driven home to rest for the [...]

Did I mention they were the socks I got for Christmas?

January 9, 2012

I had a post ready to go this morning. I wrote it last night after sharing a bottle of wine with myself. It was brilliant. It was so insightful and wordsmith-ery that I even read it out loud to the cat. Naturally, he was impressed. So impressed that he ignored me and continued licking the [...]

Pitiful

January 2, 2012

This last week the younger kids were away visiting the grandparents in Mississippi. So I took the opportunity to do stuff…like put their bunk beds on Craig’s List…without telling them. In my defense, I had no idea they would sell THE FIRST DAY I POSTED THEM. And in my defense Part Two, I only made [...]

Taking Notes

December 30, 2011

The thing about me is I’m a good listener. Sometimes you don’t know it because it seems like while you’re talking to me I’m not paying attention. Because I might be writing things I need from the grocery store on the back of a bank deposit slip while you’re telling me another story about your [...]

Regret

December 29, 2011

There’s not a lot I regret in my life. Mostly because the choices I made that got me here gave me so many beautiful things…my children and my friends. But there is something I wish I’d done while I had the chance. My grandfather, Dadaw, who lost a tremendously hard-fought battle to Alzheimer’s ten years [...]
