A word about Socks

I imagine that at some point, those cavemen decided that their feet and frostbite and all that, needed some covering and they whipped up some feet buntings from the skins of some wooly animal that ventured into their caves. After butchering, skinning and eating the creatures, they made socks, scarves, and condoms from the skins.

Dubbing Memories

I’ve had these vhs tapes in my entertainment center from my 9th grade graduation, college graduation, my grandfather’s memorial service, summer camp reunion, and two tapes of footage from old reels from when my grandfather was a baby, my mom and her siblings as a baby, and my sister and me. 
I made a comment to [...]

I kinda feel like, well…

So, say, you call things off with someone for the fifth time or so and you know it is IT. IT IS OVER. What, nearly two months ago?
And you make it clear. And the talking part is over and he’s no longer in your contact list on your cell phone.
And your last response to him [...]

True friend

I drove a route home the other day that is a bit out of the way but I go there on purpose to pass a church that posts on their board on the lawn, a thought for the week. When I found this church is when I started keeping a notebook in my car with [...]

Ladies Drinking

The question of the night was “how on earth do you keep your house so neat and clean?”
My answer?
“Cause I have no kids around!”
It’s true. In the summer the girls go off for two one week vacations with Exhusband and this week has been it. It really ends up being close to ten days sometimes.
I [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A pain in my neck

Life’s actually been pretty good considering that my relationship has been rocky.
I mean, are we or aren’t we? I have an idea.
Nothing worse than being stuck in the middle.
Actually, I’m not stuck, but as long as I am home right now and not with him, I am kind of floating in between non-committal and wanting [...]

God Steers

If you ask me why I have four boxes of Nilla Wafers in my cupboard, I will say “it’s for the girls”.
I mean, they love ‘em.
If you ask how many the girls have eaten by the end of the week, I will say “oh, about a handful.”
And don’t ask how many I’ve eaten. And [...]

Anger and becoming bald

I’m not quite sure what has driven me towards angry people. People who demand something and then if they don’t get their way, stomp around like a 3 year old until someone listens and appeases them and enables them and then they sigh relief and are happy again. Cycling over and over and over again.
