Queen of Rambles

They’ve been showing an ad lately that bugs the crap out of me. Granted, most ads bug the crap out of most people, but this one is really beyond the pale. There’s a bunch of grown-ups wandering around doing grown-up type things like grocery shopping and mowing the lawn, but they are dressed [...]

It’s Friday the 13th and my little boy has just turned three months old. I should make a gooey post about that. Not right now, though. Right now I have to tell you that we managed to find a furniture store even skeevier than Marlo’s*. It was dirty and gross and [...]

In the spirit of good health, I had another doctor’s appointment today. This time it was for the creeping crud that has taken over my fingers and hand. It’s a nasty, itchy, weepy rash that makes things like washing my hands incredibly painful. It’s important to wash your hands after changing diapers [...]

Don’t you hate static electricity? I hate going grocery shopping these days because the shocks are so bad. I actually yelped in pain on Monday, which prompted a strange man to ask if I was ok.

Tonight’s hodge-podge is so diverse it must be presented in list form. It’s hard to ramble when you use bullets, but I’ll try to manage.

We have to start with the ever-present Mosaic Minds spam. The next deadline is fast approaching (Jan. 15) so if you write stories, poetry, personal essays and [...]

I suppose today hasn’t been the weirdest day every recorded, but it comes close. It started out with a wizened old Chinese guy knocking on my door, demanding blood, and ended with a pleasant phone conversation with my grandma. Pleasant phone conversations with my grandma just don’t happen.
I suppose the [...]

“Go take a shower. You smell like shit.”
Don’t you wish your husband said sweet things like that to you?
Ok, so I did have streaks of brilliant orange poop all down my front. My nightie had streaks of brilliant orange poop all over it, the baby had globs of brilliant orange poop all over [...]

How much thought must go into selling us products that we don’t even need? How much money is wasted, money that could be put to good use? How annoyed can I possibly get by the world at large?
We are on the National Do Not Call List and don’t get many telemarketers anymore. [...]
