Opac and Veruca were getting ready for school this morning and Todd was cooking bacon and sausage for a breakfast meeting. I’m still trying to ward off the alien invader who made my lip swell up. V has a presentation in Chinese today, so she wanted to practice with us. It sounded great to me … Continue reading Just Another Thursday Morning
Random Thoughts
This Is Why I Drink
Yesterday was Monday and I got up for work. I put together food for Todd to take to work to get him started on a healthy diet and weight loss. It wasn’t a stressful morning. I even made him breakfast. We had a snow event Saturday and Sunday so we stayed in all weekend and … Continue reading This Is Why I Drink
Collide
2011. I often heard this song on my early morning runs through the streets of my old town. In 2010 I first discovered my love for running, when life was often out of control and stress was high and I needed an outlet. I wasn’t “allowed,” really, to go anywhere without the kids in tow in … Continue reading Collide
Joy Among the Chaos
I remember sitting in Chemistry class, at my desk by the windows overlooking the courtyard, and I could see the reflection of the trees on the surface of my ring. And then a squirrel would catch my attention, and Mr. Garman would snap me out of my reverie to ask me what was so fascinating … Continue reading Joy Among the Chaos
Nobody Cares
I stumbled upon an article several months ago, Things About You That No One Actually Gives a Shit About, Ranked. For fun, I spent 45 minutes that I can never get back on this... Here are my 15 things that no one on social media cares about: My dream about Veruca face-planting off a third-story … Continue reading Nobody Cares
Silverfox Takes Lexington
**Disclaimer: This is NOT a political post. Dad was in Lexington on business last week and sent me pics of the Red Hen, which - ICYMI - was the site of a huge political controversy recently and has shut down indefinitely.* Visitors were placing flowers on the front step like a memorial. Dad: Protestors … Continue reading Silverfox Takes Lexington
What’s Happening Now
Sitting down at my laptop after a rather uneventful weekend. I removed someone’s used dental flosser from my keyboard (I know – WTF???) and cracked open a rather innocuous Corona. Today’s pain scale: a definite 4. For now. And that’s what the beer is for. Pain meds don’t help, and nobody is prescribing anything stronger … Continue reading What’s Happening Now
No April Fools
Today’s post is brought to you by this: Oh my God, Trix! We were talking about what we eat for breakfast – my friends and I were talking about it – like what kind of cereal we like and Hope said she loves Fruity Pebbles and I love Trix which is really just the same … Continue reading No April Fools
Where I’ve Been – Early February Edition
Blogged while stuck at home with the HVAC guy. I could’ve been working today…. We had a weather event on Sunday that bled into Monday morning, and schools did not have a delay… but they should have. But we’ll get to that in a minute because THE EAGLES WON THE SUPERBOWL. It was quite a … Continue reading Where I’ve Been – Early February Edition
Of Blogging, and First Dates
I wasn’t going to write today. I don’t typically write every day. I had a few thoughts rolling around my brain of what I wanted to write about next; they’re an eclectic and somewhat schizophrenic collection of ideas that have little to do with one another. Todd and I worked on one of them together, … Continue reading Of Blogging, and First Dates
