Bad, Bad Food

I love fried dough.
I love pouring powdered sugar all over the fried dough.
Eating it on a windy day, is just not sexy.
I was with D and his date and our friend Kat the other night at a small town waterfront carnival.
There are assuringly unsafe rides administered by sketchy carnies with sketchy tats and no teeth.
Seriously. [...]

My Favorite Things

Some of My Favorite Things
Oprah does it, why can’t I?

Except, you’ll be able to afford the stuff on my list!
1. Dansko Clogs
Okay, I lied. Some of these things are on the pricier side.

But Dansko clogs will last a lifetime. I just bought my first pair last year. They were cheapest at Zappos.com. Then [...]

Meme, I’ve seen you ’round

I have seen this meme around and love it because it delves us into ourselves. How well we know ourselves. I have done this with the highest mode of honesty possible. If you do it, let me know, I like reading people’s responses to the same questions. Oh, and don’t feel like it has to [...]

Looking back at red flags

Do I actually think he is an alcoholic? That he has a problem with drinking?
Yes, yes I do.
I didn’t transfer this over from my blogspot hosted blog, but I dated Chef before I dated Steam. And Chef was a recovering alcoholic. I never knew him when he was drinking. But the way he behaved was [...]

Out of the mouth of my littlest one

Tonight I had showered early and was wearing a white tank top without a bra nd jeans.
My littlest, Blue, points with her little finger and presses it against my breast and says “Mommy??!?!?! What on earth is that POINT?”
In case you are slow, she was speaking of my nipple.
So I had to give her a [...]

What’s not good for your hair

I love glue and tape.
I have all kinds here in my studio. I fix stuff with it.
Depending on the problem, depends on the adhesive.
Seriously.
That’s it for me, handbags, glue and tape.
But if you get Gorilla Glue in your hair and don’t realize it until it has expanded and dried, well, let’s hope you look good [...]

Unsettled transition

Transitioning into summer has been a little rotten.
I didn’t imagine this, but the kids are all out of sorts without some sort of schedule. All the girls want to do is “stay home and be cozy”, but the repercussions of that equals an overdose of “Corey in the House”, alot of ice cream and [...]

Because I need an “about” page…

Funny things happen.
Like today, I went to the bank to get some cash because here on the island where I live, alot of places only take cash. The fish market being one of them. This is a fishing town, filled with all sorts of types.
Down near the docks, I went with my cash and my [...]

Where I stop taking my mother’s advice…

My dad and his lady are visiting. They called a week ago and said “flights are $300 from LA if we fly on Thursday, we’re coming!” And I’m like, “Um, OKAY!”
So, a quick scramble to clean the house, because “the fur was walking” as my 5 year old says, regarding the dust bunnies blowing across [...]

Brainless and easy. I finally get it.

Ending things with Steam was easy when doing it over voicemail.
Actually, no, that would have been heartless.
A while ago, I left him a voicemail while he was at his son’s Boy Scout thing, just saying “No, I am not coming tonight, let’s talk later.” And he took it as “Never gonna see you again.”
He assumed [...]
