You might think that not putting chocolate up inside yourself would be obvious ………..I’m a smart lady and that would seem like a given right? but I’m here to assure it’s not. When you’re young and silly, you are apt to try new things. This is good because new experiences help you grow as a person. This is also …
The Step Monster lives…….
Today I’m linking up with They Call Me Mummy and her momfessionals. Here’s a story about a not so great step parent, Me.- Before I had any idea what I was doing, I was in charge of someone else’s child. It was tough and I messed it up, pretty badly at times. Do you think I damaged her much? …
The Luckiest Number
On this Nineth day of October in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Ninety Nine, I had the greatest honour of marrying a man who makes me laugh and cry, happy and sad and pushes me to do things I would NEVER do on my own. Hey I’m writing a damned blog aren’t I? And living in America!
I Survived My First ‘Real’ Subway Breakdown
I had my first bonafide, actual, stuck in the tunnel subway ride on the weekend. We were headed downtown for some awesome family weekend activity, when between 86th and 81st the train came to a screeching halt. Now I wasn’t too concerned to start with because as millions of strap-hangers know, the MTA sucks. Trains stop, then go and some …
Why I Haven’t Watched TV in a Week
We are a techno family, we’re early adopters of technology, we’re on the cutting edge. Ok when I say ‘we’ I’m totally using the Royal ‘WE’. What I mean is The King is a techno man, he’s an early adopter of technology, he gets all the beta tests of programs to try. I get the benefits of this by association. …
Pennies from Heaven – Literally
Things have been tight for a quite a while now, around the country people are still suffering due to the economy. The food bank line seems to grow every week when we pass by and has done for a while now. It’s been a tough couple of years. I feel a change in the wind. There seems to be an …
I’m An Excellent Driver
Back in ’98 we acquired a 1967 Red Mustang Convertible. I say acquired because around that time we had dealings with certain people who had abilities to make things appear. Not illegally, just unconventionally 🙂 It was an odd time, the late ’90’s, with private jets and long cars and hotel penthouses but that’s a whole other story……. The Red …
I Will Absolutely, Positively, NOT Talk About Sex……….EVER
This is not a sex blog, I’m not talking about my sex life, we’re not discussing sex, ok? I have no tips. That would just be weird. Sex is, or should be, a private act between 2 or more consenting people of whatever variety they subscribe to. We all get that. But it’s private and personal and not up for …
The ‘I Need to Fix This or I’ll go Crazy’ Projects List
I’m compiling a list of projects that I’ve been putting off for a long, long time. Whether it’s because I’ve not had the energy or the emotional strength, that time has passed and I am on a new path of clearing out my life and making way for new things to happen and dwell. So profound I know but I …
It’s a Full House
The Princess arrived from OZ this week, just after us. She has business to attend to and friends to see. While she’s sorting out her apartment she’s bunking in with us. It’s just like the old days. The King and I, The Princess, Grand Master D, Miss Gremlin, Sir Lickalot, who becomes Sir Droolalot, when the fluffbag, Vegas is in …
