Feeling great, everything is great. It’s not every day that Todd’s dog wakes me up at 5:20 a.m. No. Sometimes it’s 5:30. Sometimes it’s 5:52. But today, today is special and TODD’S dog wanted to make sure I didn’t miss one glorious moment of the shenanigans she served up hot, fresh, and dripping wet. Todd … Continue reading Shuggie Shenanigans

Please, No BS
ON the second day of my summer vacation, Shuggie woke me up just before 4 a.m. to go outside. Then she stayed out there and I couldn’t sleep. When she finally came back in, I laid in bed tossing and turning until I must’ve dozed off, which seemed like mere minutes because suddenly she was … Continue reading Please, No BS
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
Inclement Weather, 49 hours later
Blogged while eating Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. Orange Polo Shirt was located less than 10 minutes after I published that last post.

Or Thursday. I’m taking pics of my deck and maybe I’ll try to do a time lapse thing for shits and … Continue reading Due to Today’s Forecast For Inclement Weather…
While You Were Away
Dear Mom: It may not be as exciting as shaking scorpions out of your suitcase, or having howler monkeys next to your patio, or being laid over for 12 hours in a biker bar, but you missed some good times back here in the Northeast. I know the news about threats of school violence worried … Continue reading While You Were Away
My Left Foot, His Left Ear, & Other Things
Every morning I drive my two up to the bus stop, and every morning they find something stupid to piss each other off with. Usually it’s Opac pushing V’s buttons at 6:57 a.m. and she – being an already moody child who is also in the ugly grip of adolescence – gets instantly pissy with … Continue reading My Left Foot, His Left Ear, & Other Things
Less Than 24 Hours
How long does it take for life to return to normal? Less than 24 hours. I met the ex at our usual spot to pick up the kids, and no sooner did I close the car door than they were at it. Opac was teasing Veruca about something, and she was loudly and adamantly … Continue reading Less Than 24 Hours
