I’m not a ‘half-measures’ kind of gal. If I’m doing something, it’s usually at full tilt. I’m very ‘event oriented.’ I go on a blitz right up until an event starts. One year for Rissa’s birthday party, my Mom couldn’t believe that I was sewing slipcovers for the our patio cushions 5 minutes before arrival…
This morning I awoke to the mother of all migraines. She looked like this: Meg Mucklebones from Ridley Scott’s Legend The 1 inch of sunlight from beneath the blind – that tiny amount of light – was akin to having good ol’ Meg use her lovely fingernails to gouge out my baby blues. I popped…
This is a sarcastic dance. You know what I’m talking about ladies. It’s awesome, right? You’re sitting at the computer before bed, trying to get some work done or at least check in on the state of the universe. You’re in some sort of nightie/chemise/tank top – sans bra – because wearing a bra in…
It appears that I can no longer sleep on my side. Because when I do? My face develops sleep craters. I get up, well-rested, thinking all is well with the universe, until I look in the mirror. My face, which had enjoyed the delicate sqwoosh of the pillow beneath my cheek, now has a…
I was making my case to go see what looks like the BEST summer movie EVER – Pacific Rim. Rissa needed to do her due diligence. “Who’s in it?” “Who’s in it? Who are you? Roger Ebert?” “Who’s Roger Ebert?” *face palm* “I don’t know,” says David. “It looks pretty cheesy.” “Come on guys –…
Sometimes a birthday reaches perfection. First off, the weather gods heard my plea and took away the humidity which really helped with my wanting to murder those around me. David and Rissa made me breakfast and gave me these birthday cards: David’s card made me weepy when I read it. He wrote “I’m Always aiming…
I was recently in Sears buying underwear for Rissa. I wasn’t really ‘put together,’ hadn’t dressed up, probably had no makeup on. It was an emergency underwear trip – she needed them and she needed them fast. I was lined up, ready to pay with my 6 pairs of xs panties, when the guy in…
My friend is a bombshell. When I’m with her, it’s like hanging out with Marilyn Monroe. A shorter, more shapely Marilyn Monroe. She is the flame to every male moth within her orbit. Has been ever since high school. Most definitely she is gorgeous, that’s part of it, but she has something MORE. Something…
WARNING – This post is about sex. We took a workshop at an ‘adult’ club in ‘sensual sensory deprivation.‘ Welcome to marriage after the first decade. When David mentioned it, I immediately imagined a water tank in the dark in complete silence, basically like being trapped alive in a box, pretty much my ultimate nightmare,…
You know Something’s Gotta Give? The movie with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson? We recently watched it with Rissa. Rissa loves a good romantic comedy. “EEEEEEEEWWWWW! He’s soooooooo old. How can he be dating her?” Early in the film, Jack Nicholson is dating Amanda Peet – who is less than 1/2 his age and plays…
