Billy Bob Does Not Have Lips Like Sugar

2011-11-01T12:02:00.000-07:00

I'm not the sweet type. Sugar, that is. I have fairly simple tastes: Black coffee, plain cake, plain vanilla ice cream, unsweetened tea. Don't get me wrong, I can pound back a bag of Reese's peanut butter cups like the best of them. Not that I've...

Here Say

2011-09-19T18:38:00.000-07:00

I'm at a bit of a loss as to why I've looked at the calendar and it's now September. It was June just last week. Little bit of a lot to catch up on. I went to a cemetery today. No, it's not my time yet and all the kids are accounted for. No, I...

Where Do You Live?

2011-06-24T12:51:00.000-07:00

It's fun to "remember when". Some days I look back at myself and wonder if that's the same person. As much as I refuse to live my life back at my milestones, I'd like to think I've grown, changed, and matured. I am a sum of my experiences, whether...

Raise Your Hands If You're Sure

2011-06-22T06:24:00.000-07:00

"What on earth does 'moded' mean?" A few posts back I spoke of moded people, thinking to my old school self, "Self, I am so hip and getting down and jiggy with it." "Like, for shizzle," says the white girl. Apparently, there are old school terms...

"Do you want to go to a Moms group with me?" I have a friend, let's call her April, that decided that attending a Moms group with me would be fun. She admitted never having been to this one before. She'd heard about it through the grapevine. The...

I'm A Sensitive Moron

2011-04-24T19:41:00.000-07:00

My van has died and I want to set it on fire and roll it off a cliff. I can be positive. I'd do it with a smile. The smile part has you puzzled. I can feel it. I was lucky enough to have "The Anti-Christ" lose power in our apartment parking lot....

Speed Writing and Ankle Grabbing

2011-04-02T14:12:00.000-07:00

I pretty much guarantee this will be a bumpy ride of a post. I've been writing a lot and an exercise for writing is speed writing. I'm not particularly fond of it. It's not my style, but it's writing exercise to beef up my wordsmith butchery....

Early Birds and Punctilious Worms

2011-03-24T14:54:00.001-07:00

It's said "The early bird catches the worm". I think I'm OCD enough to debate this. You see, in speaking of fowlish punctuality, the statement suggests a bird's ability to also appear on time and/or late. Logically, punctual & late birds...

This is a text message from my 11 year old to his Dad. Spelling, punctuation, and content in the original. "It would come to your attention that my birthday is on a Thursday and I would like my party on the following Saturday with HELIUM balloons...

All Keyed Up

2010-09-05T14:03:00.000-07:00

The saying goes: You do not know what you have until you lose it. ...well, unless it's your key ring. The appositeness of car, house, or work keys are evident in the annoyance of upturning an entire residence in pursuit of tiny, errant ...

Change Came In Disguise of Revelation

"Welcome to See's Candies! Would you like to try our new...." I don't know why these ladies ask me such frivolities. Free chocolate truffles. Can you imagine turning that down? They might as well be asking if I'd like a guaranteed lottery win or go...

I've been over at my (my son's) new blog: Notes From Third (Grade). I'm still blogging here but I thought I'd put up my son's home notes from school. He's amazing. If you like reading the inner workings of a third grader, check it out. ~Bee hasn't...

I can't wait for the Jr High orchestra to start. It's been a half hour of watching parents and families file in. Some are in business suits. Some are in work duds. The majority are in jeans and tee shirts. Apparel aside, everyone looks mildly bored...

They Grade You For This?

I dedicate this to all the parents who have up and coming drivers. Jan. 2006 I routinely clean out my purse when I've a) thrown out my back or b) when there is no room to fit smuggled candy into a movie theater. Don't judge me. I'm not...

How Do You Feel?

2010-05-21T23:42:00.000-07:00

Feeling BookishI'm starting on a few books. One I haven't read, always wanted to. East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I loved his Of Mice and Men so I've added another book to my ever-growing read list. I'd say summer-read list, but it should take me a...

Socially Laughable Me

2010-03-02T14:51:00.000-08:00

Sometimes in social situations I end up laughing inappropriately. I'm such a sad sack. Weddings, graduations, or social gatherings are not immune to my nervousness turned giggles. I even manage to put the "fun" back in "funeral" squelching...
