He’s Off.

I’ll miss this.
He’s off for his three month gig.
I picked J up from his house up north and we drove  back down to my house yesterday morning. I made a psuedo Thanksgiving dinner and the four of us played games and hung out until it was time for the girls to go to bed.
We got [...]

Seven Days of sick

Being sick all week, spending time in the doctor’s office Thursday and starting some antibiotics, sleeping terrible, feeling like crap…well…so Friday, I realized when I woke up…I had a gynecologist exam. It was a scheduled exam and darnit, I was going to keep it, because why not? Why not add a half hour drive South [...]

Tivo, Phlegm, organizing and floating teeth

My teeth are floating from all the fluids I’ve been drinking and eating. My face hurts. My lungs hurt. My teeth hurt. Everything hurts and feels phlegm-y and icky.
This is me, sick.
Day 4.
I wouldn’t let J talk to me on ichat, because I look so scary. Last night, I let him, but kept the light [...]

Ten things I’m supposed to like, but don’t

I love this. I got it from Noted and Blogged.
1. A hired house cleaner. I prefer cleaning my own house.
2. Birds. The totally creep me out. All birds. Even pet birds. And mostly birds like Pigeons and Seagulls, if they get too close.
3. I don’t like the sound of the Beatles. I like their songs, [...]

A bit of aftermath recap

I had an art reception on Thursday night and J came down from the north to hang out and help me out with the girls. Since the only babysitter I have ever hired to watch my kids, ended up being a DRUG DEALER (seriously, this was a few years ago, and a woman at swimming [...]

ichat cat

I was on ichat the other night with J and he “took me into the bathroom” with him.
I took some snapshots.
His cat likes hanging out in the bathroom and drinking from the sink.

And likes to watch when the toilet is being put to use. (that’s J’s belt, not his thang)

His cat like to watch the [...]

Not exactly what I needed right now

So, a recent post of mine touches on my “instinct” about people. I like to think it’s pretty good in my experience with mean, strange, odd, scary, perverted and abusive people.
Last year, nearly every day while walking to school, a dad (I will call him Spooky Man) at the school would drive by after dropping [...]

My Favorite Things #3

I am overdue with one of these. I have lots of favorite things. Most of these things are old. Not all of them.
1) Birdcage. Oh, but not any old birdcage! This was a wedding gift my mom got when she got married in the 60s. You wind it up and the bird sings a song. [...]

I’ll be hard on you if you talk to me about this…

I like to think I have an instinct about people, especially after carrying on in relationships that were both physically abusive and controlling. Even if I stayed with someone, it didn’t mean I didn’t recognize the signs…I just didn’t feel I was strong enough to break out of a pattern that I had followed most [...]
