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 [...]
<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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Da~ I know I don’t say it enough; no one does. And you definitely didn’t hear it long ago when it actually mattered. So thank you. Thank you for giving of your time. Time with me as a baby. Time with Mom, when she needed you. Time that can never be given back. Thank you [...]
Last night I got a call at 10:10PM from a home security alarm monitoring company. There was an alarm going off at my father’s house and I was on his list as the person to contact. My first question to the nice lady was, “Did you try calling his cell phone?” She told me she [...]
Today has been an utterly useless day. I have been beating myself up all day because I missed Hubby’s phone calls from boot camp. He doesn’t get to make them often, so they are special and important to me. And in the typical “understanding” way of my father, “Well, I’m sure he left a message.” [...]
