Sharing

It’s been a week and a half since my laptop decided that it wanted to take an impromptu vacation to Dell Land and I have to say so far we’re managing better than I thought we would.
We’ve come up with an informal arrangement where I get to use the computer at least 87% of the [...]

Sign Here, Here, and Here

To me, there is nothing stranger in this world than the concept of an autograph. To have someone who you admire and respect scribble their signature on a piece of paper (or your chest, no judgments are passed here), is a little odd. Who started this strange phenomenon? I know that an author’s signature in [...]

Will you still need me when I’m 64?

There are some basic things about getting older that I am taking issue with. I knew that as I got older I was going to grow cantankerous and start yelling at little punks to get off of my lawn, I even looked forward to that. My problem is not with age itself but with everyone [...]

Drink Me

I am a hardened criminal. My crime? Repeatedly sneaking outside food into the movie theater. Making our own hours as we do, we often try to save a hard earned buck or 12 by going to movie matinees. Dear god the cost of a ticket! I guess someone has to pay for Meg Ryan’s face [...]

The Bag Lady

I have an issue with bags. It seems that there is some sort of corporate bag conspiracy going on in the world. Has anyone noticed this besides me and Sean? People love putting things in bags. You bought a toothbrush, is that it? Make sure it gets put in a bag before you leave that [...]

Baby Fever

Babies seem to be in the air. The topics of pregnancy, having babies, not having babies and what you do after having babies seem to be around every corner these days. For the first 4 years of our marriage Sean and I have managed to answer these questions with “Uh huh, sure, whatever”. Suddenly, for [...]

The Man

This is post is dedicated to my husband because when I go back and read my last post, it sounds like instead of a marriage filled with love and compassion, I’m holding him hostage at gunpoint.
For any of you who don’t know my husband I should tell you that he is the single greatest person [...]

POP goes the throbbing vein on my forehead

I’ve been wearing the same pajamas for three days. Three days straight. One of the perks of the freelance lifestyle is never having to change clothes. One of the downfalls of this is that you will actually take advantage of those kinds of perks. At this point I’m pretty sure that my ‘jamas can function [...]
