Who? Me? What?

One of Jeff’s workmates (different department) happens to be someone I went to high school with. He’s also a dad at our kids’ school and is the former PTO president. It seems he has decided to run for president next year and told Jeff that he wanted me to give him a call. He wants [...]


Message to Kwame Kilpatrick and Christine Beatty

Text message to: K. Kilpatrick & C. Beatty
Sup? Sux u chrgd wit lyng. 12 cnts?!!!! dam! u in trbl dudes!!!
I thought I’d begin with a language of communication you both understand because it seems large words such as you’d find in an oath of office or truth might not be within your ability to comprehend [...]


She’ll be your girl for all seasons

Yesterday was something. It’s a few days past the first day of Spring and what happened? We got about 7″ of snow. Gotta love a white Easter! I’m pretty sure it’s not the first time this has happened in Michigan and Easter is early this year so I’m not surprised, actually. Weather can be dicey [...]


Borrowing from Colbert

In my quest to be entirely unoriginal, I thought I’d steal the concept of “On Notice” and “Dead to Me” ala Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report. From time to time I roll my eyes or get truly irritated and fed up with things. (Okay, who are we kidding? I do this the bulk of [...]


HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, dear Kelly!
Happy Birthday to you!
We love you, baby. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. You’re an amazing human being and I love you very much. Oh, and you’re still older than me. Neener neener!
Mwah!


Things I’m thinking about

My mind, not surprisingly, is rather full of squirly energy lately and there’s so much swimming around in there I thought I’d share with y’all (like that bit of Southern flavor?). What do you say? Are you up to it? Aww, come on; don’t be a chicken.
The house I was hoping wouldn’t rent before we [...]


Enough already

So finally Jeff has purchased some hard-core, over-the-counter-but-only-behind-the-pharmacy-window decongestant so that I can try and clear up this smoke smell nonesense. Of course he had to go to the 24-hour CVS because the grocery store’s pharmacy was closed. Here you have to show six pieces of picture ID, submit a stool sample and win a [...]


The little things

When you have a school-aged child who has social challenges like autism, you worry that they are going to become that sore thumb in class that everyone notices as really different. You don’t get to see them during the school day so you worry if kids are teasing more than they might normally (unfortunately we [...]


Bye, bye, bye

Last Thursday we bid the POD goodbye and reclaimed the driveway we hadn’t been able to use for a full five months. While the product is a good one and the customer service outstanding, for us it was a waste. I thought the process was going to be much quicker but the hurdles I had [...]


Good luck, Suz! Love you!

I wanted to throw out some positive energy into the blogosphere today and wish my dear friend Suz some good luck. She has a really important interview and I want to wish her well. Blogs can fill the world with a lot of negative and self-absorbed energy so I wanted to put something good out [...]
