Today would be that day if I were in charge of Hallmark and made up holidays like they did. Most of my weekends are spent with boy and right now we might be lazing in bed, eating bagels and being dorks. Today I took him to the train station to meet his father so they…
Lately I have been fighting this idea of religious fantasy spinning. It’s funny, how often lately I have heard “Well God never gives us more than we can handle”. Personally, I think that whole idea is a crock. That and the “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. What about What doesn’t kill you, doesn’t…
Things to look forward to: My week with E, beach-side, from Monday through Thursday. I got an offer for the job, but it foils my Autumnal travel plans, only because I need to maintain the 37.5 hours for 90 days to earn the health insurance benefit. I was told you have your choice of three…
I have been doing lots of faux things lately. Today’s list of faux activities follows up yesterday’s attempt at faux accounting with money expected, yet not in hand just yet. Today I have a faux interview a la cell phone with a company that provides benefits to their employees after three months. Basically this involved…
Though I don’t appreciate the buckets of perspiration raining down my back and face when I try to do anything this summer, it certainly has been more than stellar. This is relative compared to the non-summer we had last year, so all is fine and good. Things have started a slow and gradual upturn for…
That never ends. This is my most recent life excitement: E is lovely my puppy is lovely I am generally lovely. Lovely in that everyone has smiles and wags of the tail and make life actually enjoyable. If I didn’t have my puppy or him right now, I think I would probably take a high…
So in my efforts to keep cool, and remain relatively still in the wee hours of the day (though the hours when most of you are hard at work) I watched bull durham, one of those movies I had seen before but never really watched. Me being the toddler baseball fan had an appreciation for…
There’s something incredibly primal about the heat. It seems to bring out the worst in people, or shall we say survival instincts. Today seems to be a little worse than yesterday, somewhat worsened by our fantastic evening and day yesterday. A heat layering, perhaps? I decided today I really just don’t care. There are some…
Oh yes, I am back. To let you know. No one is gonna make me feel bad about what I write again. This was a cushiony little piece of yum yum I let slip out of my overly aggravated fingers. But no more. None of you cocopuffs are going to even come close to bothering…
Aspartame. The frisky ingredient in most diet sodas. A lovely chemical that turns into formaldehyde in its breakdown. My favorite quotes are here: “The FDA reviewed Searle’s studies of this artificial sweetener in which rats were fed aspartame daily with their meals for one year. There were 12 brain tumors in the 320 rats that…
