Same old song and dance

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I seem to have lost my funny. I’ve started a few posts, but they all seem a wee bit forced. So instead of coming up with new material, I’m going to foist on you a story I’ve told a million times. You heard it here first, number 4 on my 25 Things Meme:
I had my [...]

Hot Mess

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Last Saturday Sports Fan and I had date night. It was touch-and-go because he was working all day, but we made it out. We started at Toloache Mexican Bistro for dinner. It is definitely a touristy place and the margaritas aren’t very good, but the food was surprisingly delicious. We started out with guacamole and [...]

Touch of Grey

Friday, July 10th, 2009

I could tell you that I’ve been off on an exotic adventure the past week, so I couldn’t blog, but really I’ve thrown myself a little pity party. So pitiful, in fact, that there were no balloons or streamers. (Plenty of alcohol, though! Wish u were here, xoxo!)  I’m sure my Twitter peeps wanted to [...]

Things that Make Me Happy

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

This is like the internet age’s “when life gives you lemons….”  Or the Irish Catholic “count your blessings,” but without the guilt.
Material Girl
1. My bedspread.
2. My favorite summer shoes.
3. The perfume my husband got me as a gift. For no reason.
4. The fuzziest, snuggliest couch blanket.
5. My blackberry and my laptop. I love them. And [...]

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes. Time to Face the Change.

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Oh, hey. A post with words that aren’t preceded by dry or liquid measurements. How’s that for an idea. I’ve been in a funk, Dear Reader. Changes are coming my way and I do not like it one bit. I’ve been struggling with whether to write about them here. It is still probably not the [...]

A Little Tenderness

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

I’m not the only gimp in the house now, Sports Fan now has a sprained tendon in his right foot. He has to go to physical therapy twice a week just when I’m starting physical therapy on my foot. Funny, huh? Not the fact that he’s in pain, of course. Poor baby.
My foot is healing, [...]

Summer time, and the livin’s easy

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

I cannot believe it is already JUNE. Somebody tell me you’re with me on this one. JUNE?!?! I’m obviously not wishing 2009 to hang around any longer than necessary, the rat bastard, but it is seriously flying by like it’s rat bastard butt is on fire. I’m managing to make the most of it, though, [...]

Brought to you by the letter F. And by that I mean foot and fries.

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

Thank you all so much for your kind words and support. I was feeling pretty blue — black and blue, to be specific — after I broke my foot last week, and it really made me feel better to hear from all of you. I love you, internets. You had me at “www.”
The foot is [...]

2009, You’re Dead to Me.

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

If you haven’t heard me complain on Twitter or Facebook, I’ve gone ahead and done it again. Or 2009 has, depending on whom you ask. I broke my foot. I have a fracture of some bone in my right foot. The fifth metatarsal bone, if you’re being all doctor-y about it.
Since you are going to [...]

Out of Hibernation

Monday, May 11th, 2009

The days are longer, the weather is warmer and I am officially coming out of my social slumber that I’ve been in since the last crisp days of fall. I have been getting out of the house more and looking for excuses to be meeting people and doing things. And eating. Lord, the eating!
I’ve been [...]
