Alternate title: I Couldn’t Make This Shit Up If I Tried. Recently I started chatting with a nice enough guy from an online dating site. We had chatted just over IM, but he seemed nice, smart, and his picture was cute. Plus, his emails made sense. I told him about this blog as 1) it’s [...]

Not So Wordless Wednesday (The other day I got a nice little note from Facebook. “You have been tagged in a picture by Aaron….” So imagine my horror when I log onto Facebook and find this little gem of myself and my Sorority Sistas at some Fraternity Gala in another land, far far away. Yes, I’m the one [...]

Sunday evening Ben and I headed out for a BBQ at my parent’s house. We were both donned in our usual summer gear; t-shirt, shorts and flip flops. As I was locking the door Ben stopped and said, “You know, if we were wearing better shoes we could just walk to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.” [...]

I’m baaaack. Whew! Thanks for all for your comments and emails full of well wishes, encouragement and insight. This Internet thing is pretty gosh darn great. I think it might just catch on.

I’m writing this post at 2:33AM when I should be sleeping. Not awake at my computer. I’m tired, I think, but I can’t sleep. I have always been the best sleeper. My mother used to look at me with such envy with her tired, 4 hour sleep eyes. I was one of those people who when [...]

Sometimes I forget that I didn’t just make Ben by myself. Sometimes I forget that I didn’t just want him so badly and had so much love to give that I just made myself spontaneously pregnant. I honestly forget that there is this whole other side to Ben. Half of him isn’t my DNA. Isn’t my [...]

I’m pretty sure that because I loaned a woman sunscreen at the pool last weekend, the Good Karma gods were looking down on Ben and I yesterday. First his pink eye cleared up quite quickly (ain’t modern medicine grand?) And secondly, thanks to a very nice girl at Supercuts, who took one look at me, checked the calendar to [...]

Oh yesterday, you devilish little day you. You weren’t supposed to have any Bad or Ugly in you. You were just supposed to be ALL good. It was pay day with my new raise, our boss took us out to lunch for a job well done AND I was getting my haircut after work. Normally, I LOVE [...]
