I will give you the last day of the month.
The month you chose to leave us. Not when your body gave out, when you gave out.
Leaving your family to wonder, “What the fuck?” Was it really that bad? Were you really that alone? Did it always have to be about you? Did our lives have [...]

Monday, Munchkin goes back to school. As much as I love being home with him and having extra time with him in the mornings before I go to work, it really put a wrench in my new morning routine.
Since Hubby went off to boot camp, I’ve been walking on the treadmill every morning in the [...]

Thirty-eight years ago you came into this world. Born to a Coastie, you traveled the US. Life wasn’t always easy for you, and you found trouble wherever you could. Eventually you ended up in Kissimmee, where we met. A down and out musician and a self-destructive chef. Not much in common other than our need [...]

I am still not writing the post I’ve been working on. I’m not ready. I’m still too angry. Even after nine years, I’m angry. And I refuse to give over a happy holiday, or Hubby’s birthday, to the selfishness of someone else. That post will wait at least until Saturday.
So I will talk tonight about [...]

Monetarily that is. It always happens this way. We finally get to a point where we can start making ends meet. Getting to where Peter and Paul are both being paid, to where I’m not so worried about getting the bills paid, to a comfort zone.
No, I was not surprised when I went to get [...]

<Munchkin was concerned about me getting a blog post done this evening, so graciously suggested I talk about his newest obsession. Halo. The online free trial version of the original game. Below is a short question and answer. Enjoy!>
What is Halo?
Halo is this game that you can play, like, online and you can have multi-player [...]

Munchkin is eleven years old. Two more years and we will be dealing with broody and bored. And I suppose I should pick a more masculine, less baby-ish nickname for him here in the blogosphere. Suggestions placed in the box will be considered.
We’ve been lucky so far with attitude and personality. With the exception of [...]

We are from “The South”. We are Southerners. Only barely. My parents are both from Massachusetts as are all of our relatives. But both my sister and I were born and raised here, below the Mason-Dixon line. In the suburbs of Atlanta. Scarlet’s territory. Where we women-folk don’t sweat, we glisten.
A few years ago my [...]

Munchkin bailed on me. Left me high and dry to fend for myself in this cold, lonely, quiet abode. The only living creatures with which to interact now being the two smelly, farty dogs, the smelly, inquisitive rabbit, and the fish.
Of them all, I think I’ll take the fish.
I thought of using my new found [...]
