I’d already stayed up too late, finishing “The Portrait of Dorian Gray.” I drifted off to sleep, and started to wake when the light went on and off on the stairs a few times (I sleep with my door open a teeny bit for the cat). Then my door opened, and my mother-in-law informed me…
Boys are weird.
I remember when my mom used to pick me up from school, I couldn’t wait to tell her what I did. This seemed to be the case with every girl I knew and know, too. Even though he’s only in preschool, sometimes it’s like pulling teeth with the Oldest Kidlet. Case in point, yesterday. This…
Mike Huckabee needs to think first.
Twice in the span of a week, Mike Huckabee has said some crazy things. First, Mike Huckabee criticized Natalie Portman’s pregnancy (then backtracked). Then he said that Obama spent his childhood in Kenya, and then backtracked when it was pointed out that he was wrong. Behavior that’s extremely problematic for someone who’s planning on running…
Ch-Ch-Changes…
Earlier this week I freaked out friends and family by talking about life changes vaguely in the same post as me being depressed over the loss of Jerad. I mentioned I wasn’t quite ready to talk about some of these changes, but I am ready to talk about one of them now. I know I’ve…
I’m done with Charlie Sheen.
I admit, when Charlie Sheen first started to let loose via radio interviews and emails to TMZ, I was amused. While it seemed like he might have been using drugs- mostly he just came off as another celebrity who was angry and honestly had no idea why they weren’t the center of the Universe. But…
Really, I’m fine!
I’ve learned a lesson. Talking about changes in my life and how I’m struggling with the death of my friend in the same post makes for one completely misleading tone. The stuff going on in our life isn’t bad! I just wanted to give a bit more time before I started blogging about it. But…
Struggling to find words.
There are so many things I wish I could talk about. We’ve had some big changes in our life, and I’m still waiting for some time to pass before I can talk about them. (Before anyone leaps to conclusions, no, I’m not pregnant) However, in the rest of my life I am struggling to find…
Today is weird.
Rain is a big deal here in Southern California. With the slightest bit of moisture, all the news channels are on StormWatch [insert year here] and they have nearly every tiny reporter they can find out in the street wearing rain slickers and waiting to tell you how wet it is out there. Last night…
Date Night
As I’ve said, I am fortunate to live with my in-laws. First, we get along. I’m not making this up simply because they can read this blog. It’s the truth. They welcomed me into their arms when I was their son’s first girlfriend and have never been anything but wonderful. Anyhow, the advantage of living…
Boycotts, Gay Rights, Soapbox time?
Recently, a friend of mine posted that he was boycotting Chick-Fil-A for their direct involvement in groups supporting bans on gay marriage. I have been boycotting them since these allegations popped up. It’s saddened me that so many people say that they weren’t surprised, since Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sundays… but you know what? There…
