Should we still celebrate? It’s certainly a bittersweet day. The day of your birth. You just can’t be here to take part. It should still be recognized, I feel. Even if it is in my own way.
I talk to you a lot. I don’t know if you know. I’d like to think you do. I […]

Just had to get that off my chest. I’ve noticed I have been pretty angry of late, and I’m not entirely sure why. I like the holidays. I miss hubby, but not to the point of anger. And constant frustration. Ugh. I hate feeling like this.
I wonder how much of it is due to things […]

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 […]

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 […]

<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 […]

As I have mentioned before, Hubby is at boot camp. He is becoming a sailor. It is a big deal as he is the oldest recruit there at 37, soon to be 38 years of age. He has been made a section leader, making it an even bigger deal.
Before he left for boot camp he […]

I hate it when I fall asleep, nap style not bed for the night, and have dreams. (Just to clarify, this also encompasses the few minutes of sleep garnered when tucking in Munchkin for the night.)
Nap dreams, at least for me, are rarely if ever enjoyable. They are not of the fluffy rainbows and unicorns […]
