Queen of Rambles

Sorry for grossing you guys out yesterday. I knew there had to be some poppers out there, so I had to share my good fortune. Today, of course, I have my regrets. My head hurts, but even worse, my right bicep is totally killing me. I had to exert a lot of pressure to get [...]

You know how there are temptations in life that you just can’t resist? You know you shouldn’t do it. You know it is totally stupid. You know it will irritate your spouse. You know it will cause a sleepless night. You know there will be pain. Yet you have to do it anyway. It calls [...]

We had a very nice, relaxing day today. I put in my hour at the gym, then came home and put on casual clothes. I haven’t been out of the house since. Instead, I sat at the sewing machine and did a Dear Jane block after weeks of forgetting all about it. Hard to write [...]

All the quilting on the quilt that would never end is done! I think I ripped out more quilting than I sewed, though I’m not sure how that would be possible. Now I just have the fiddly work of going through and cutting threads, checking every quilting line front and back, trimming it up and [...]

We’ve had a really relaxing Thanksgiving day. Though I sort of like the thrill of being around new people and sharing a meal, it’s nice not to have to cook for anyone but ourselves. When I got out my recipes and realized I was missing things for every single one I didn’t have to freak. [...]

What a crazy day! I only had a few things left to buy for the big day tomorrow, but I somehow managed to spend a good portion of the day driving all over town anyway. It started with a quick drive to pick up a box of freecycle clothes and shoes. I haven’t even brought [...]

I need to go get juniper berry gin tomorrow. I love the thought of taking Erik into the liquor store. All those glass bottles waiting for a curious preschooler. All the drunk hobos waiting for me. Ok, I’ve never seen a drunk hobo at the liquor store, but it’s not like I go there a [...]

I have to write a super fast entry tonight because it is past my bed time. I spent the evening cutting out construction paper turkey feathers and baking a pecan pie. Why yes, I am the preschool teacher tomorrow. Why do you ask? Sometimes I feel like I must be stupid for putting so much [...]

Poor Mikey must be one tired boy tonight. He’s been working his ass off the past two days, cleaning and cleaning and cleaning some more. As you all know, housekeeping is NOT my thing, so I didn’t do much but spend money and whine while he was working hard. Don’t you all wish you were [...]

You guys are going to get tired of my whining during the Devil Phase. Let’s all hope it’s short lived. We had a ton of fun stuff planned for today, but it all ended up being a major pain in my ass. We hit the gym early and I ended up using the treadmill for [...]
