Running like the wind… a slow, stressy wind.
I realize that I haven't written about running in a while... Mainly because a friend came up to me and said, "Hey! Are you still running?" Well, HECK yeah! I'm still running. This marathon isn't going to run itself, though it would be lovely if it would.I've been...
Make a New Plan, Stan!
Do not panic, people, but summer is careening madly into the second half of June and I still don't have a plan! Friends keep asking me, "What are you doing this summer?" and I got NOTHIN'. Just a blank stare and the propensity to start hyperventilating. I keep...
Yes. You CAN Buy Love.
Oh, the joy and happiness of watching my children, cheerfully engaged in productive work... no. I am NOT drunk. Hubby and I finally broke down, joined the new millennium and bought a Wii. We told the kids that they couldn't play it until this place was cleaned up....
Mommy Needs a Cocktail.
I'm going to admit something here. There have been times that I thought parenthood was pretty darn dull. Don't get me wrong. I love, love, love my kids. However, there were long, unbroken stretches of time when they were little and I was at home where the single most...
Every Girl Needs a Gay Best Friend.
Like most people I know, I have been following the debate over our state's Marriage Amendment. Given that we humans tend to live in self-selecting groups, most of what I hear tends to run along the "Up with HUMAN rights!" and "I love my GLBT brothers/sisters/homies!"...
Beautiful on the Inside… It’s the Outside That Needs Work.
At the risk of becoming a bit too familiar, I want to talk about Hubby for a moment. He walked into the room the other night and in his best Joey Tribbiani voice ("How YOU doin'?") said, "You look GOOD." and gave me a little wink. Let me tell you what I was wearing....
No, YOU have a drinking problem!
You should all know that I'm writing this under duress. You see, every so often, Hubby, who is my staunchest supporter when it comes to this blog, gets a bee in his bonnet about something I "need" to write about. He is absolutely adamant for example, that you would...
A Happy Mother’s Day to ME!
Haven't been doing much writing the past few weeks. First, because I kept seeing periodic snowflakes and very concept of snow in MAY rendered me limp with despair, completely incapable of seeing joy or humor in anything. Then the weather got gorgeous and my mentality...
Lunchtime is the BEST time.
I woke up this morning crabby. Which wasn't so surprising, considering how completely vile and low down I felt when I went to bed. A mood this bad comes along maybe once or twice a year and tends to linger when it does. All morning I struggled with the urge to snap at...
Nothing says “I Love You” like a finished patio.
Spring is here, hooray! Or, at the very least, vaguely less winter-ish weather. Although it could be warmer, I'm no longer in danger of freezing to death while waiting for the bus, so that's good. One teensy, tiny complaint, however; once all the snow receded it...
