The Queen Mum Lives

It seems that the phrase “I’m back” should have been delayed about a week.  That’s the thing about getting a bug up your ass and making a declarative statement.  AssBugs often don’t consider your vacation schedule. So let’s see…..what’s been happening since I stormed out of here in a huff? We just got back from [...]

or at least, I will be….as soon as I finish packing to go to my in-laws tomorrow night for a week, updating my frugal blog and cleaning the house for us to be away for a week. Things are better here and I no longer want to rip the head off of certain people…well, at [...]

After careful consideration, I have decided to take a semi-permanent break from this blog. There are quite a few things that have been going on for about a month that I would love to bitch whine cry write about here, but the truth is, the people who have hurt/offended/annoyed me the most know about this [...]

Having left the workforce just over seven years ago and having spent all that time avoiding rush hour traffic on the highway that connects my outlying suburb to “the real world”, I think I forgot how annoying other drivers can be. Either that, or I just has a serious case of PMS and managed to [...]

June 16th, 2006 June 16th, 2008 Happy Birthday Elizabeth! (I’m spending the day playing Princesses and having tea parties)

That’s what I’m feeling right now as I get ready to leave to go to my sister’s house for my nephew’s graduation party/excuse for the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins to get together and drink until 3:00am. I remember the day he was born…racing to the hospital to hold my very first nephew. And [...]

With one exception, I have stayed away from all-things-politics on here.  This isn’t even really political, aside from the fact that he hosted a political show. The news of Tim Russert’s death of an apparent heart attack at the young age of 58 saddens me in a way that I don’t think I can quite [...]
