Needless to Say, There Will Be No Party

Me: Hey, we should have a [name of our hockey team withheld] party!
Him: You do know that two of the guys aren’t 21?
Me: No, I had no idea. Which two?
Him: Jack and Alec.
Me: Oh.
Him: Maybe we could just all go out to a bar.
Me: But, then, Jack and Alec couldn’t come at all.
Him: That’s kind [...]

So, Apparently, You Can Get Pretty Close to the Players During Practice

And he’s pretty tall too, I guess.

Shorty Do Your Thing

Not too long ago, I sent Scott a text message that said, “I wish you would call me shorty.”
A few seconds later my phone rang, and we did a little confused dance around each other, him doing the uh-oh-why-is-she-mad-at-me foxtrot and me doing the why-is-he-acting-like-I’m-mad tango. It took a few minutes for us to figure [...]

This Has Nothing to Do With the Post Below, but I’d Really Like to Be Friends With January Jones

The past two times we’ve gone to the mall, I’ve insisted that we stop by LL Bean to look for a pair of teal corduroy pants I saw in some magazine (I tear things out of magazines and compile them in a little notebook that I use for ideas when getting dressed and going shopping, [...]

Now I’m a Little Bit Older, a Little Bit Bolder

My Mom sent me this photo of her and my Dad at the local high school football game on Friday afternoon and I immediately made it my desktop image. I smile whenever I look at it; for whatever reason I’ve been missing them recently.
The co-worker who sits directly across from me at work looked over [...]

And We Hadn’t Even Uncorked the First Bottle of Wine Yet

Me: I have to admit, I definitely have a little crush on Tony Romo now.
Him: In spite of the Jessica Simpson thing?
Me: That part is unfortunate. I wish he was still with Carrie Underwood. Now it’s like he’s dating his own sloppy seconds.
Him: I don’t follow.
Me: Isn’t ’sloppy seconds’ when, like, you hook up with [...]

Better Than Bulgaria

I have very little to report, but I thought I’d just quickly mention that this site was kindly featured in the Houston Chronicle’s ‘Good Mom Bad Mom’ blog this past Sunday. So, that was kind of cool — and welcome to all of the people who stopped by because of that. I know I don’t [...]

In Memoriam: Virginia, 1997-2008

If you were paying attention on Twitter, you’ll know that we had the cats to the vet last night for their yearly exam. Last year when we took them, the vet pointed out that, at age 7 and 8, they are technically considered elderly, and should probably have their bloodwork checked. We scoffed: 8 isn’t [...]

“You Know, You Don’t Have to Be a Bitch About Every Single Thing, Every Single Time”

This was news to me.

Mix CD Giveaway

BFF Tracey begged me to make her a new mix cd last week; as some long-time readers know, mixes aren’t a slapdash affair for me. I do versions and I sample and edit until I think they’re just perfect. I’m no Samantha Ronson, but I like to make sure there is flow.
It’s been a long [...]
