Revenge - A Cautionary Tale

~~For Cary~~ “I want my life back.” The words replayed in her mind. Three years later, the divorce papers came. Mia held them, smiling. She had only seen her ex husband a few times since he’d been gone. He wanted his life back, but he had taken hers. His laziness had caused her health to fail. His... Sign in to see full entry.

~~~~We Finally Have a Real Bed!!!!~~~~~~

That's right. Unless the damned thing gives up the ghost and I find myself in the middle of the floor at four in the morning, I promise never to talk about beds again. Another perk: We are taking the third air matress back to WalMart and using the refund to buy a few extra groceries. Not bad for all... Sign in to see full entry.

Battle Hymn of the Air Matress

We are on air matress number three and I am losing my mind. The second one gave up the ghost yesterday. I was trying to get out of the hole that had developed from my big behind sitting in one spot too long and I adjusted my body weight and is went "Whoosh...!!!!" and fifteen seconds later I was...

Of furniture, stoves and family coming for Memorial Day

We finally got the last of the stuff out of the van so we are officially movd into the apartment. Of course, this means that the bags and boxes are stacked neatly around the living room and we are just kind of living out of them. So my sister in law called yesterday (The Goddess was smiling on us... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Story From CNN: Pregnant Girl denied the right to graduate

As usual I was half asleep and only half listening but there was a story this morning about a pregnant young woman whose school would not allow her to be part of the graduation ceremony because she was pregnant. During the ceremony, near the end, the young woman stands up, calls out her own name,... Sign in to see full entry.

More on the saga of the air matress...

We never did take the too small air matress back to WalMart. We were running low on gas and no money was readily on the horizon (that has since changed). So we decided to make the best of it. And things were going well until yesterday. Mike sat on the end of the bed to put on his tennis shoes (we... Sign in to see full entry.

When it rains it pours...

Have you ever had one of those days when suddenly the bottom drops out? Mine started in the early hours this morning. I am a little over half finished with the book I am ghostwriting when I get hired to do another one through my eBay ad. Then a few minutes ago I checked Baymore and I got another...

Things seen on the road in the country...

* A sign emblazoned with red letters "Fresh Bait" next to a pet shop * A produce stand boasting the state's biggest cucumber. The thing was almost six feet long and weighed 250 pounds. We stopped for the cucumbers...the smaller ones * A truck stop with a big sign that said "We sell Rubbers". They... Sign in to see full entry.

Pollack Paintings Found

I was only half listening to CNN when I heard that some guy was going through the family's storage bin and found a whole box full of Jackson Pollack's paintings and because they are previously unknown works they are considered priceless. Now far be it from me to make a value judgement on art, for... Sign in to see full entry.

Stupid Sports - Competative Eating????

Someone please explain this to me. We are a country and a society which harps on being thin and young and beautiful and yet I am sitting here watching six guys that make my hubby look anorexic being cheered on while they inhale burritoes. Then the announcer goes on to say that these guys do up to 25... Sign in to see full entry.
