Heavy heavy hangover thy poor head.

I have a recordable Hallmark card for my mom for Mother’s Day (SURPRISE MOM! You’re getting a recordable card!) and I’ve had it for weeks. I don’t know what to record. Chances are she’ll show it to her friends, so I have to make her proud. At the same time I have to keep herContinue reading “Heavy heavy hangover thy poor head.”

You say bible, I say, uh, bible.

Hmm. So I had this brilliant idea to do NaBloPoMo this month. (You know, where I post everyday for a month?) It’s good for me, I’m always happy when I do it. But it’s only May 2nd, it’s 10:52 PM and I’ve spent the last ten minutes staring at a blinking cursor. Oddly enough IContinue reading “You say bible, I say, uh, bible.”

making out is awesome.

I love to make out with my husband. (OH HAI DAD! CEASE AND DESIST! CEASE AND DESIST!) It’s true. After eight years Cody still does it for me. Regularly. Sometimes even multiple times. ARE YOU BLUSHING? You shouldn’t be, really. It’s completely natural and frankly if you have a kid EVERYONE KNOWS YOU DID IT AT SOMEContinue reading “making out is awesome.”

maybe I fell down the stairs, AGAIN.

Guess what I did. A) I lost to a cat in heat who confused my legs with a potential mate. B) I lost to a brand new razor. C) I lost to a jelly jar that smashed to smithereens on my freshly washed floor. D) I lost to a weed whacker. E) SWINE FLU! (SoContinue reading “maybe I fell down the stairs, AGAIN.”

ahem it’s my birthday.

April 2009 will not go down in history as the BEST! MONTH! EVER! for anyone I know. Me included. However. April 2009 will go down as one of the most blessed months of my life. For every horrible thing that knocked me down this month, there was a net already in place to catch me.Continue reading “*ahem* it’s my birthday.”

UT, LA, CAN in IN.

Three Canadians drove over 12 hours. My sister flew 1,600 miles. Seven others drove from all over Indy. We all met downtown, we all donned purple and we all marched for Maddie. We heart you so hard Maddie. The news just said that Indianapolis raised over $225K for you and your friends. Amazing. ************** EverContinue reading “UT, LA, CAN in IN.”

healing my helplessness.

I finally learned all the right words to “Silent Night” tonight. It’s the moosh’s favorite bedtime song along with “Baby Mine.” Since December I’ve hummed and la la la’ed through verses two and three when I wasn’t entirely sure of what went next. And let me tell you, the moosh has no problem letting meContinue reading “healing my helplessness.”

purple, ham and a fluttery lashes.

I’m sitting outside Starbucks on Wilshire in my easter egg pocket sized rental car watching the palm trees, the clouds and the very expensive cars drive by. I believe there is a law in LA that no one is to drive a car on a main street unless it was manufactured before 2004 unless saidContinue reading “purple, ham and a fluttery lashes.”

hedder spohr like mold.

This is my friend Heather (Hedder.) About a year ago I put Hedder through a DTI interview. (Determine the relationship interview.(And no, I’m not kidding.)) I don’t throw around the term Best Friend loosely and I certainly don’t want to be handing it out to people who are only mutually lukewarm to my existence. AfterContinue reading “hedder spohr like mold.”
