10 CommentsCoherent as I’m going to get
I’ve been back home since Sunday but it has taken me this long to get comfortable again and be able to string together a coherent sentence of any type. That’s what happens when you leave your Husband home alone for 8 days. You get home and the house smells weird and there is laundry that...

4 CommentsMy brother is a dork but he gives me free tickets to Angel’s games.
Also? He brings marinated onions and peppers and cooks them for me to put over my hotdogs while serving me beer. He’s almost worth the price of a ticket plus the embarrassment of being seen with him. And he encourages me to steal seats closer to the field. I think we can call it...

4 CommentsWhat I would have tweeted if I wasn’t so lazy.
My littlest kid has been sleeping for three hours- STRAIGHT. In the middle of the day. I don’t know what to make of this, yo. It’s baffling to me. My older children have asked me at least sixteen kabillion times to take them to the pool. What they don’t know is that every time they...

3 CommentsTwenty hours of home
I’ve arrived home again for exactly twenty hours. This is just enough time to ditch the Husband, do all of the laundry and re-pack our suitcases. Oh- and pack up my laptop. I didn’t bring it with me to the beach and I cursed myself daily over my stupidity. I hate not checking my email...

3 CommentsRoad-EE-Oh
Officially, I like to call myself a city girl. But it’s pretty hard to deny the fact that I do country girl stuff. I camp, I hike, I chase horses out of my yard on occasion. And I anxiously await the rodeo every year. There is just something about those cowboys that gets a girl...

3 CommentsOh Noes! It’s raining!
Run for the hills! There is water- coming from the sky! What will we do? Where will go? How will we survive this DEADLY WINTER STORM?! What? What was that? It’s rain? Just plain, old winter rain? Oh no. No. No. No. This is deadly. This is the worst thing to ever happen anywhere. Ever....

3 CommentsTime to wander in a homeward direction
I hit the wall at about eleven o’clock this morning. I’ve been wandering for eleven days. First my parents, then the Husband’s parents, and then the cabin. It’s been wonderful. I love traveling and seeing my family and my friends and eating food that I haven’t cooked and shopping places other than The Walmarts. I...

3 CommentsItchy feet
I think I’ll head south tomorrow. It’s a week early but this way I can do a few of the things that I’ve been saying I’m going to do but never get around to doing. And I’m starting to feel antsy being closed in this house all the time. It’s too cold to go outside....

10 CommentsI go on cartrips for the comedy
Tired and drooping while trying to navigate the 5/99 interchange is never a good idea. The Husband looked over at me and recognized the problem immediately. “Why don’t you pull over and get a coffee?” Five minutes later I was back in the driver’s seat with a skinny vanilla latte precariously balanced between my knees,...

7 CommentsA Breath of Orange County Air
I’m sitting on my parent’s back balcony with a cup of coffee made by my dad. It’s 8am and I am in a tank top and shorts. It’s warm and breezy. I can smell the ocean air, even though we are miles from the beach. The water from the pool is sparkling against the porch...
