Hi honey, I'm home! (Sequel III)

How many re-entry blogs have I titled with that? I'm back because I need the release that other social networking sites just can't seem to provide. It's been almost two years, and much has changed, my girls have grown, I've been promoted to the top support position within my department, we've... Sign in to see full entry.

Moving on.

I know it's been a while and several things have happened. We quit searching for a house with our in-laws. It was becoming too stressful and threatened our relationship, and rather than going into detail and pointing fingers, I'm just going to leave it at that. By complete and utter accident, we...

Ozymandius

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped...

Charmin

I'm no prude at all, I don't squirm in the face of anything remotely revolting. I have helped a country vet performed a tubal ligation on a sheep dog when his assistant didn't turn up (he was Spanish & good looking, and is probably still ankle chained in someone's coalhouse in the local village)....

Sundays

Most of the time, when I have my soul searching episodes, it happens on a Sunday. I've been thinking about this (because, duh! it's Sunday) and reckon it must have something to do with the whole Catholic/religious spin on Sunday, and it being a time for reflection and accountability, your soul's...

Hair Salon Etiquette

Yes, someone ought to write a book. I'm scared of hairdressers. There you have it. No, it's not of what they'll do to my hair, but it's that way they have of assessing you from top to toe that unnerves me. I put it off for a year, and did home coloring, which is probably too dark for my complexion... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Hurts

I wouldn't do the lady dishonour by turning up in some version of sweatpants or being inappropriately dressed for our big day out. So, I had a wispy boho mid thigh length top with ¾ leggings underneath, my concession to comfort being the wedge sandals I'd bought the day before, kinda Roman mule... Sign in to see full entry.

The Lemonade Diet/Master Cleanse followed by Death by Chocolate

Well I lasted five days, and felt fuzzy, pins & needly, almost drunk at times. Lets just say I was always worried about that few oz of emulsion I drank when I was five. I'd mixed it with water and pretended I'd made milk, and I sipped away, sitting on the straw for the dog's bed out in the coalhouse... Sign in to see full entry.

The Color Purple

I'm sitting here, still in my night clothes, and we'll be getting ready shortly to do the Sunday open house tour. Yes, the year, the move, it's just catching up with me now. I haven't really had the chance to let my feet touch the ground since we landed at JFK last year, and not a week has passed... Sign in to see full entry.

USA - A Year in Review.

I've meant to come back in here on several occasions but haven't been able to find the time. I'm off today, forced vacation, but I'm fine with that, I needed the break over the last four weeks. So what's occurred? Not much in the scheme of things in present tense, but I guess a lot if you look back... Sign in to see full entry.
