Tough Crowd
I was resolved to don my big girl panties and drag myself out of the doldrums. I’d been indulging my foul mood, wallowing in the mud of self immolation. I thought I was finished with all that. I felt ready to greet the new day but then there was the thing that happened at Elementary [...]
Pity Party Encore
So it’s that time of year again…mid-March and the annual guys trip to Sebring is upon us. My Better Half is off today to spend five days and nights sleeping in a camper and living on the slope of a racetrack in central Florida with ten other sweaty, unshaven and heavily intoxicated men. And though [...]
My Stable of Boyfriends
Memory Lane, the meme
Again saved by a meme… a recycling meme, from a new friend no less. Jennifer over at Thursday Drive has saved me from having to come up with new and insightful material today. The idea is that some of my best writing may actually be behind me. I love new friends. I love memes. I [...]
Did I mention that I hate cats?
So resort week is officially over and the whole relaxation thing but a memory. No matter how hard I try to vacation, how completely I shake free of the anxiety and the pet hair and the mundane worries of the day to day, somehow all these things catch right back up with me upon return. [...]
Without Tears or Recrimination
We waited for a bleak, gray day to talk about it. That’s always the way. It’s so much easier to be confrontational when the weather is as dank and misty. Frustration can simmer even on the sunniest of days but in the gloom of February it just seems impossible to ignore.
Admittedly we’ve been patching it [...]
All Mine
I like it when I get a chance to spend a few days alone in the house. It’s a rare opportunity. My Better Half works from home and so the occasional business trip is, while not exactly welcome, at least a break from each other, in a long spell of togetherness.
During these days of [...]
Do Over
Some days are the kind of days you’d just like to hit the “Do Over” button. Roll back the clock and let it all unwind again.
But as it is, it’s the only day you’ve got and starts with an early morning wake-up (okay, it’s more like an early morning decision to finally get out [...]
Waffle-Gate
I’m pretty sure that the menu from the Madmarriage-kitchen needs revision. There’s a fridge full of leftovers that no one is touching. The Baked Polenta with Italian Sausage has gone the way of the garbage disposal after four days under plastic wrap, the Chicken, Asparagus and Lemongrass Stir Fry is still snug in its Tupperware [...]
Excellence, Entourage and My Big Mouth
Slouchy is paying it forward today. While her blog has been rated excellent by fans everywhere, she has been kind enough to sweep a few of us along in the eddy of her success. She has waved her magic writing wand and doled out some ‘excellents’ of her own. I am blushing and giddy [...]
