Queen of Rambles

I really don’t want to take a third shower today. I didn’t want to take a first shower. I only wanted to take a second shower.
The first shower was just stupid. I went to bed with a head full of moulding mud, something akin to ear wax, and it spent the night [...]

I don’t have the hang of doing my new do at all. It looks better when it’s all wet and sweaty at the gym, than after a shower and meticulous sculpting with the styling mud. Why does styling mud have to smell like ear wax?
Mike says it’s great and short hair is my [...]

Summer is really here and I’m ready to escape to Maine. It’s cold there, right? And closer than Alaska. Maybe I could head to Prince Edward Island and catch a glimpse of the spirit of Anne. Can you tell I’m getting a little antsy to get out of here? I hate [...]

Whew! What a day! It was go go go go from the minute the grocery delivery guy knocked on the door at 7:30. Luckily I was still in bed at that point, though the knock woke me up. Mike took care of the delivery and when I came out of the [...]

All those hours spent on the elliptical, fake jogging my ass off, going absolutely no where, have finally paid off. I have endurance. I can run! My boobs may flop and my Birkies may skid around on my feet, but I can manage to go more than ten feet without dying an embarrassing [...]

I noticed the book Between Parent and Child by Dr. Haim G. Ginott was absolutely raved over on the Ask Moxie blog, so I decided it would be worth looking in to. I usually agree with a lot of what Moxie says, though I also think she can also be a little over the [...]

Today was much, much better. I feel like all I do is whine and complain, but some days I just need to whine and complain. Getting up at 4:30 is not going to lead to happiness and sunshine, even if I were inclined to be a Mary Poppins.
I kind of wish [...]

I’m just about to lose my ever loving mind. In fact, it may already be gone, long lost to the screams of a child who does not, will not, can not go to sleep.
No day should begin at 4:30 am. Especially not a day that’s going to involve cleaning up copious amounts of [...]

I’ve got news for all you people who have laughed at my fish fears. I’ve especially got news for those of you who laughed at my particular sturgeon fear.
Sturgeons are attacking people!
I knew it was only a matter of time before the fish revealed their true colors. My fear isn’t looking so silly, [...]

I did fun quilting today! Quilting all for myself, not the Southwest wall hanging that is totally not my style. I finally got my Dear Jane Design Wall uploaded, so if you actually care about my insanity you can click to see how far I’ve gotten. Maybe you don’t even know what [...]
