Freak Parade

So I made it through the weekend. About time, huh, since it’s, like, Wednesday already. We went on Sunday to do the sprinkling ash dispersement. I got my sorry behind on the boat and didn’t even puke. Not even once. Oh yeah, did I mention I’m not so much a liker of anything boat or […]

Forgive me for this Internets….
So my cat has this problem I have mentioned before. Gross, right? Yes, very. Well today, he outdid himself. Today, I found this.

Do you see it? Now what the heck is that green string doing…there…..?
Wait, is it hanging out of his butt? Why, yes it is. And why does it […]

All that has been happening lately has forced me to look a subject that I don’t particularly care for straight in the face. And when I say “don’t particularly care for” I, of course, mean it scares the heck out of me. Freaks me the hell out. Yes, death is one of those things that […]

My kids have a knack for sucking the fun out of anything. Anything. Hanging out with my kids is like spending time with two little, grumbly old senior citizens. I don’t mean to offend any happy, good natured seniors with this comparison. I don’t mean your little blue-haired, white-sweater-with-tissue-in-the-sleeve wearing elderly. No…..I mean the ones […]

Mark this date on the calendar…for once in my life, I have nothing to say. It has been forever since I have written here. I have so many things that I think I may possibly…..sort-of….kind-of……maybe…want to write about. But I sit here, listening to the maddening click click, click click of the ceiling fan…and I’ve […]

Another day with no writing. Well, some writing did happen here tonight…The Boy and The Girl wrote their memories of their Papaw for the memorial service on Sunday. If there is anything less fun than typing a eulogy written by your four year old daughter, I can’t think of what that would be. The Boy […]
