I Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty

Have you ever had a dream in which you forget about something, like dressing yourself, picking up your kids on time (or even that you HAVE kids), about a test, etc?
I have been plagued by these types of dreams all of my life. Enough that they rarely affect me and I see them as just [...]

Merry Thanksgiving

Maybe it’s because I’m tired. Maybe it’s because I think I’m getting sick. Or maybe it’s just my apathetic nature, but if you’re interested in how Thanksgiving 2008 went, just go back to November of 2007, read the post, and that pretty much sums it up. It was fine.
BUT, on the upside, I think I [...]

It’s A Little Out Of The Ordinary

I’m not much of a shopper.
As a child, I absolutely HATED when my mother would take me out twice a year to try on clothing. It was a tearful experience. And I haven’t changed much as an adult (although now I cry for different reasons when I’m in that evil, flourescent lit, mirror enveloping enclosure). [...]

We Went, We Played, And Asses Were Kicked

My softball team headed to lovely Wendover this weekend to play in a tournament. Did we win? That would be a big NO. But we had a good time and got to know each other better. But I DID win at the tables (Roulette and Blackjack to be specific) and had a blast doing it.
I [...]

Why I Love Thee

I’m lying in bed avoiding packing for my (insert voice of the guy who does the monster truck rally commercials) AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME trip to Wendover this weekend for a softball tournament. I’ve had fun there before, and it’s also been destination HELL. I’ve decided that this one will be good.
Because I’m a freak and [...]

You Know You’ve Given Up When…

10- You drop off AND pick up your kids from school while wearing a pullover and pajama bottoms, along with CROCS thongs (orange and blue… yes, envision them), without having brushed your hair OR teeth.
9- Showering becomes optional.
8- Your social highlights of the week are your softball games. And you’re afraid for the softball season [...]

Phone Curse

I’ve gone through 5 phones in 2 years. That’s got to be some kind of record. The weird thing is that I’m not hard on them or anything. I don’t drop them in water or bang them around. So the only other rational explanation is that I’m phone cursed.
My former boyfriend (former as of 30 hours ago) gave [...]

Get Your Own Damn List… This One’s Mine

Here’s the low down:
1- My twins (and babies) started their first day of Kindergarten today. I have NEVER felt sad while taking my kiddies to school. Not when they were in preschool, and not anytime my oldest went off to school. I’m not sure what it was about this day, but I got a little [...]

Sometimes All It Takes Is Good Soul Douching

The great thing about heartache or turmoil for me is that inevitably a few days after the initial “shock”, I get a crazy urge to tackle stuff (hence, my tiling project 3 months ago, painting the hallway 2 months ago, etc.). And as I sit here and type this post, I am reaping the rewards [...]

I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Dog Gone It…

Perspective is a funny thing. Sometimes it comes in the form of a bitch slap from the All Mighty, other times it just sneaks up on you.
I was sick this past week. And as feeling like shit often does, it kind of rubbed off on the rest of me. I remember when I had surgery [...]
