What NOT to Wear to a Job Interview

I thought after almost 10 years of marriage, it’d be hard to surprise me. But I was wrong. For my husband, surprising or shocking me is a cinch. And he doesn’t even try. He just puts on an outfit, for example, and I sit there shocked and dumbfounded.
Take this little get up for instance. Guess [...]

My Kitchen is a Freak Show

Hi. My husband has turned our kitchen into a total FREAK SHOW.  It’s getting worse each day. I can no longer really even address it, because I’m trying to pretend it isn’t there. It’s too stressful to handle. The only thing that makes me feel calmer is to just stay the h*@# out of that [...]

Bravest (or Dumbest) Thing I’ve Ever Done

I’ve been feeling like a big cowardly chicken lately (not sure why, and it’s annoying me a lot). So, I’m kind of happy that today, I did something BRAVE.
I was late and in a TOTAL hurry to get to church this morning with the kids. So we were in this MAD RUSH to get out [...]

Hot Dad Sighting

Hi, I realize I keep posting about hot men. Well, despite how this post might sound, I love my husband and would never, ever, ever cheat. Really. I’m just NOT cheater material. Not only am I not interesting in having an extramarital affair, but even if I was, I’d have NO time for one. I’m [...]

FINALLY: Had a Dream about Luke Wilson!!!

What a joyful morning. I had a dream about Luke Wilson last night. In case you don’t know him, he is a great actor! And very, very laugh-aloud funny. And, as you can see from the above photo, he’s TOTALLY good-looking. Don’t confuse him with his slighly more famous older brother Owen, who may even [...]

First Time: Husband Picks Up Son from School!!!!

WOW. For the first time ever, my husband just picked up our 2nd grader from school. Oh, he was ALL confused about where to go. I said, for example, “The gate in front. Go to the gate in front.”
My husband gets to the school and immediately calls me and says, “You didn’t tell me there [...]

Flashback: Lonely Times…and Festivals

I had the most interesting flashback this morning while taking my morning walk. I stopped off to get a free city paper, and while still walking, I opened it up to see if there’s a nice, juicy classifieds section. (I’m not looking for anything–I just love classifieds.)
Flashback to the year 1997. I was sitting at [...]

Killing Me…(But Not) Softly

Remember that wonderful song “Killing Me Softly” (not the original, rather the AWESOME remake of it by the Fugees in the late 90’s)? That’s one of the songs I sing aloud sometimes when I am taking my daily walks. It’s very embarrassing when people unexpectedly walk up behind me because I sing this song LOUDLY. [...]

Life Strategy My Husband Taught Me

As I’ve mentioned, the top reason I wanted to marry my husband was because he was kind and steadfast through and through. And those qualities have gotten us through near-divorces caused by OTHER qualities he has (and that I have, of course).
In our first three or four years of marriage, I kept learning about “life [...]

Question: Neighborhood Smokeout Common When Grilling?

Hello All! I’m so happy. My husband is finally home after 3 weeks. Not surprisingly, we’ve had some embarrassing incidents in the past few days. The MOST embarrassing of all was our grilling “fun” that took place on Saturday.
I’m going to let you know right off the bat that the FOOD was MUY DELICIOSA. [...]
