Hack hack coff coff snort
Has anyone heard of a neti pot? I purchased this one today online, because I couldn’t find them in the drugstores here in SmallTownUSA. 7-10 business days from now, if I’m still hack hacking and coff coffing and dribble dribbling, then I’ll try it and tell you if it works. If I’m done with the hackcoffdribbling, I’ll probably still try it out and see if I can do it. Meantime, preggers over here is having a seriously miserable few days. After the thrill of the Hearing of the Heartbeat on Monday morning, everything went downill. Here’s the scintillating story. So, I’ve recently been asked to sing backup in a band. …

Puppies, Relay, and other Updates
Thought I’d give you a quick update on a couple of the update-able items in my life. #1 – The Puppy After I called Animal Welfare, the puppy stopped living in the shed and came back out to the porch. He’s been roaming free since then, still ignored, still left day and night, but it’s MUCH better than locking the wee thing in the shed. Until last weekend. When the neighbors, who “moved in” (aka parked their trash outside) 2 months ago, rocked up in a UHaul and started loading it with furniture from inside the house. ????? Are they moving in our out? What is going on? Since then,…

I Have A Secret.
I’m only sharing it with you, my closest friends. I hope you’ll keep it quiet for me, I wouldn’t want it to get around. My secret is – I’m plotting a murder. Shhhhh, don’t tell. Let me give you some background. So where we live – it’s an ok place. Just two houses down to the right, across a busy road from us, is a really nice neighborhood. When we walk the dog, this is the neighborhood we walk through. On our side of the street, the houses are smaller, more poorly built, but the people in them start out pretty nice. Our 2-doors-to-the-right neighbor has…

Hormonal and Crabby
So I’m planning our fall family event at work. It will be a weekend in late October, when the air is crisp but not too cool, when the nights don’t get dark terribly early, but just early enough, when the leaves are turning and the smell of fall is in the air – in short, when it is a fabulous time to be outside enjoying the natural world. Almost all of our employees have small children, and this fun day is for them. So I decide to plan a trip to a pumpkin patch, where we’ll have a pig picking, go on a hayride, pick a pumpkin, pet the…

What is my problem?
Maybe I’m fratchy because of the heat. Or maybe because we’ve been home several weekends in a row and I’m getting itchy feet. Maybe it’s because someone was condescending at work today. Maybe because I was late due to last minute doggie piddle and also SLOW SLOW SLOW GOD THEY ARE SO SLOW drivers on my commute, a whole train of ‘em. And since I was late I don’t get to take my lunch break and go to the gym. Maybe it’s because despite my thrice a week gym regimen + long run on weekends + two mile evening walks + no beer or alcohol…
