Every time I scratch my nose I smell it. I just got home from my pre-op appointment and like always I can’t go anywhere without having to go to the bathroom. Of course that means I have to wash my hands. Is it me or do all hospitals use the same exact soap? Seriously. I […]
Bitch & Moan
My turn
I’ve had longer than I would like to process through this impending surgery. I was hoping that it could have been scheduled for this week, but the earliest they could get me in was February 8th. That meant I have (had) a good month to dwell on it. I’m trying my hardest to now dwell […]
Snow and the league of idiots
The Pacific Northwest is not known for major snow events. In fact we’re quite well known for fuh-reaking out in the face of a few fluffy white flakes. It could be that there happens to be a large city in the Northern part of the state that didn’t even own a snow plow until that […]
Dear IRS
Dear Government Lawmakers, I have a way to save taxpayers thousands, if not millions of dollars. Eliminate redundancy. I know this sounds simple and I’m sure you’ve thought of it… you’ve thought of it right? But seriously, the redundancy in the Department of Treasury alone is mind boggling. Let me give you an example. Last […]
Roofgate 2011
Remember when we got a new roof? Those were good times weren’t they? We’d drive down the hill and cheer at the beautiful new professionally installed roof. I remember those times. Sunday afternoon we were driving down the hill and Derek looks at me and says, “wow, that’s a big branch.” As in, that is […]
Knock me down a peg
Anyone who knows me in person, or who has read this blog for any length of time knows that January is not a good time for me. Really, it’s more like the day after the candy leaves until February 1st. I do my best to enjoy Christmas, but it doesn’t always happen. Thursday morning I […]
Why does it have to be difficult?
As I laid in bed exhausted from the day I asked that question to Derek. Why does it have to be so difficult? All I want to do is give away money. To children. Who have no parents and live in an institution. You would think that I was trying to save the world or […]
Don’t Ever Leave the Airport
Sometimes coming home from a trip can be the most stressful part. I should know. I’ve flown countless flights and have had my fair share of bad experiences. Today’s trip home is another notch in my horrible flight belt. Our flight was SUPPOSED to arrive in Seattle at 3:00 this afternoon. We were SUPPOSED to […]
Fair and not fair
Evidently following directions is not your strong suit. Your instructions were to tell me why you want to be a taste tester and either your best tequila story or your best excuse for missing work. Leaving me a comment on Facebook does not count because I clearly left the link to the previous post in […]
Mommy Wars: More White Elephants
You know me. ?I’m a big children’s welfare advocate. ?So why do I choose now to keep my mouth shut about something that is so near and dear to my heart? ?While the whole of the world is up in arms about the Tory Ann Hansen (links to the google search for her name rather […]
