Decompressing

January 5, 2010

I know it’s not all men, but it is certainly all of my men. They are just so…so slovenly. And unorganized. And smelly. And clueless. Which I know is not the end of the world, and I don’t hate them or anything because of their awful, disturbing habits, but surely on my own blog, which [...]

And As If Right On Cue…

December 23, 2009

The UPS man just appeared at my door with none other than our second annual nightmare… The Turducken.
Is it considered a tradition if it is thrust upon us unwittingly?

Aftermath

December 22, 2009

Here’s what I have learned…
A little snow = frolicky fun. A lot of snow = hell, in many different forms.
Let me share…
So, things were going swimmingly for the first 3-6 inches. Dogs were prancing, chasing after the wet snowflakes. Kids were red-cheeked and buzzing with anticipation of even more snow to come. I had actually [...]

Digging Out

December 20, 2009

Well, it snowed. And snowed. And today, we are digging out, not that we have anything to do, or anywhere to go. The streets haven’t been plowed, but Hubby has been hitting the pipe stem pretty hard, snow blowing every 4 hrs or so. We haven’t gotten any word about school tomorrow, but I forced [...]

Do You See What I See…?

December 18, 2009

I have noticed for the last few days that there was something amiss with our tree (other than it being mildly pathetic and small). It took me a while to deduce what was happening, and then another little while to actually catch the perpetrator in the act.

Christmas Miracle, Part II

December 16, 2009

Well, it turns out, the real Santa can bite me. I was out of my jolly mood, and back in the saddle of irritation, panic and distress, by sundown yesterday. Whatever, Santa. However… I adore my Secret Santa Soiree partner. She is an angel. A bonafide gift from the heavens.

A Christmas Miracle, Part I

December 15, 2009

So, I was speeding way too fast along the parkway this morning, in a hurry to just be done with my Christmas errands. My mood was crap, and I was full of dread. Suddenly, flashing lights and sirens caught my eye and I hit the brakes. In the distance before me, I could see that [...]

My Brain is Fried

December 10, 2009

The weird thing about my relationship with french fries is I don’t absolutely love them. Given the amount of time and brain power I dedicated to them yesterday, you’d think they’d be at the top of my fave foods list (sidebar: that would be thin crust cheese pizza from Vocelli’s and Breyer’s cookies & cream [...]

(Gray) Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!

December 9, 2009

So, being around my parents and basically having my self-esteem captured, water-boarded, shredded into little bits, and then thrown out with the trash has left me feeling worn down and blue. Suddenly RootWatch ‘09 feels like Sad Old Worthless HagWatch ‘09.
It’s been quite a journey that I have taken with my own head of hair [...]
