Queen of Rambles

The bunny has been hopping so much around these parts that none of us ever took our pajamas off today. I took a shower and put my pajamas right back on. I did dry my hair, but that’s mainly because I can’t stand wet hair. I’d like to say we were lazy, but since my [...]

I had a long phone chat with the mechanic today. It mainly involved me saying “uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh” as if I understood what the Charlie Brown “wha-wha-wha” teacher was saying on the other end of the line. I did pick up one useful bit of information: there is no way the problem could have been [...]

Let me tell you a little secret: I love driving a stick shift. It always feels a little scary at first because I don’t do it often, but once I find that magic spot I love the feel of the gears purring and the stick slamming into place. I also love driving cars with some [...]

I’ll go ahead and put all the quilty pictures behind a cut so if you are not interested in such things you can skip it. I know some of you are interested, though, so you get to see the fruits of my labor. Mwhahahahaha.

Good: I’m going to be social tomorrow! I’m going to be social with someone I like because I like her and not because she has a kid (she doesn’t have a kid, but I’m sure I would like her if she did have a kid). Erik and I are going to high* ourselves on over [...]

The little $%^&*^%$# bit my nip so hard he drew blood! It still hurts and it’s an hour later! He’s never done that before. I do believe weaning must begin today. How can I cope with a child screaming and clawing at my shirt? I have no willpower against the cries of a toddler. Maybe [...]

I didn’t sleep more than five winks last night and am in dire need of sleep. Thus, this shall be short (so sayeth the Queen of Rambles). I can’t even blame Erik. He was fine, but I was not. You’d think he was the one who didn’t sleep. He almost fell asleep in the car [...]

Just when you think you’ve heard it all, you get a phone call that is so astounding you don’t even understand what is being said. We all know my sister has serious problems of all sorts. We also know she is irresponsible and that they only reason I have contact with her is because of [...]

Not much of note happened today, mainly because I had my nose stuck in a very good book all day (The Well of Shades by Juliet Marillier. Highly recommended author if you like romance and fantasy and political intrigue). I had to trick Erik to get him to let me read, but it was well [...]

Mike hates that I use the words Ding Dong as my favored nickname for Erik. He says the phrase refers to penisis (peni?). I say they refer to a scrumptious (or not, now that I have the palate of an adult) chocolate cake treat, complete with cream filling. He’s my little ding dong! Plus, he [...]
