And away we go …

I just finished sending a bio to an author in NYC for publication in an upcoming book.  When I sent it, I didn’t think much of it.  After all, Ozark Handspun is written up all over the place these days (insert happy dance here.)  An email from folks in the know, however, set me straight.

WOW

B and I spend time in our garage every night.  He smokes and it’s the only smoking room in the house, so he hangs out there.  He also does most of his work there, so he spends a lot of time in the garage.  We talk about our day, watch the news (yeah, we even [...]

So, what’s under your bed?  I’m about to find out what is under mine.  Today I have the unsavory task of clearing out the bedroom, boxing up clothing, throwing out the random crap that falls off of a person and collects around the corners of bedroom furniture.  You know, the stuff like the extra buttons [...]

Spinning with Stealth

I do a lot of spinning at home, enough to fully qualify for a part time job. I do a couple of hours a day. Of course, I could meet my quota much more quickly if I weren’t interrupted every 3 minutes for “Mama, I’m thirsty. Mama, Duck hurt my feelings. Mama, I pooped, can [...]

Bittersweet

I just figured out what my husband got me for my birthday.  It’s amazing and incredibly personal and validates and supports a large life choice I have recently made.  It’s so lovely.  He’s so lovely for thinking of it.  Wow.
 
But, now it won’t be a surprise.

That which does not kill us makes us whiter

I love coffee and tea.  And occasionally soda.  I have smoked something or another off and on since I was 17 years old (minus the 4 1/2 years of pregnancy and breastfeeding.)  Add to that that I’m nearly 30 and you get I have issues.  My teeth are beautifully and naturally straight (no braces here,) [...]

Oh, just because it’s funny, dammit.

FIFTEEN THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN by Dave Barry
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full [...]

It’s so hard to feel compassionate for someone

when they are lying on the couch playing games on a Playstation for hours at a time, regardless of if they have frozen corn in their lap and bruised man-parts.
Ah well, it’s worth it.
Viva la Vasectomy!

The insurance adjuster came today to look at the storm damage.  He did, indeed, see all the damage that we saw plus some.  Apparently, there are some softball sized dents in our roof.  And it ruined our air condition.  And it broke some of the kids yard toys (yeah, we get something for that!!)  Hopefully [...]
