It’s only Tuesday.

So I feel like I’ve been run over ten times and have left most of myself on various truck grills. I actually went to work today and about halfway through homeroom I realized that there was no way I was going to make it through the day. Luckily I had a prep first [...]

black tie optional

One night a few weeks ago, Rob came to bed (I was already asleep) and put his arms around me. And I apparently said something about “my tuxedo”. “Your tuxedo?” He was confused. I was, according to him, quite exasperated that he didn’t already know about my tuxedo, and admonished him sternly. “I can’t [...]

Puppy Update

They’re four months old now, and they’re pretty great guys.
They usually go to sleep at about 10 or 11 pm, and wake up at 6 or 6:30. The past few days, though, they’ve been waking up between 4 and 4:30 am, which makes me crazy because I want to sleep, but they want [...]

More on clothes.

I’m still not sold on the buying online thing. If the clothes don’t fit (because sadly, the best weight loss pills in the world wouldn’t help these thighs), I’m stuck with them, or else I’m stuck with mailing them back which costs me postage. Have I mentioned how cheap I am? I hate the thought [...]

The Naked Empress

I so admire people with style. People who can pick out outfits and know they’ll look good before they even try them on. Actually, I also admire people who can try on clothes and know whether or not they look good. I’d probably be out in public wearing something like this and not know that [...]

lookin’ good, not feelin’ fine.

I’ve been coughing and hacking for a week now. I figured it was a cold, and that it would eventually go away. I usually get kind of sick at the beginning of every school year, with the germs and the enclosed space and all. Yesterday morning I started getting a headache. Coupled with the coughing [...]

I am very proud of a bunch of people.

My brother and his wife want to teach their children to be responsible, and although the boys are 5 and 4 years old, I think that their parents are doing a great job of it.
At about this time last year, the oldest boy (he’ll be six in a month, so he was already in kindergarten [...]

here is the post I meant to write, but got caught up with a vidyagame

So last night Rob and I played the Game Which Shall Not Be Named. I managed to stay awake until about 10, and then headed upstairs. I read for awhile and fell asleep. Rob stayed up to put the dogs out at midnight, put them in their kennel, and followed me up to bed. [...]

You and I have memories…

Rob and I have been playing Rock Band: Beatles. Rob on guitar, me singing (because I can’t play guitar and uh… well… his singing… ahh… nothing good can come of me finishing this sentence). I love that game. I can’t help it. My father had me listening to Mean Mr. Mustard, Blackbird, [...]

An update on my situation:

I also forgot that this morning I came upon three of my 13-year-olds having a discussion about the best diet pills and whether they could buy them, legally, being that they’re 13. Eugh.
Okay, update on my condition: I’m still awake. At 9:09 pm. I’ve taken the dogs out three times, have watched [...]
