Gotta Love 'em

Divorce pending, broken-hearted and depressed, I would have rather slept through Valentine's Day this year. I pretty much figured the day would come and go without a dinner, flowers, jewelry.... sex. Nonetheless, I awoke the morning of Valentine's Day to hear whispering. As my vision cleared, I saw... Sign in to see full entry.

Facebook Status Updates

I started the day by locking myself out of the house wearing only a bathrobe, towel on head and one house shoe. I made it through the day without flashing the neighbors and am now listening to Hey Jude. Today, while standing on the edge of the tub to see if my shoes looked good with my skirt, I fell...

Interoffice Emails

I work at a trade school and one of our training areas is Culinary Arts. The following email came through from the Culinary Arts instructor: We seem to have some wandering bus tubs (the bus tubs are black or grey) and service carts. If you have either one of these items in your areas, please return... Sign in to see full entry.

Going Back to School

I stood outside the door gasping for breath, hoping no one inside the room could hear me. “If they don’t hear me nor see me, if I never walk in, then I will not exist to them and I can walk away right now and forget this foolish idea,” my mind raced with anxiety and contemplation. But I couldn’t do... Sign in to see full entry.

The Traffic Ticket

Today wasn't a good day. As I drove frantically to counseling, my estranged husband called to ask my opinion on something. “Where have I always wanted to go?” He asked as if a child on (geez I hate to use this comparison, but… I must) Christmas morning. “The sand dunes in California,” I answered....

Fix-a-Flat

I was recently reminded of my womanizing Uncle Alfred (deceased now). He was married to my Aunt Ruby and ran around on her from the get go. Aunt Ruby had had it with his running around, but couldn't get him to stop. Al had a blow up doll named Cherry, so one day Ruby decided that she may not be able... Sign in to see full entry.

The Dollar General

My kids and I were getting ready for our garage sale. I told the boys to gather up what toys they wanted to sale, and we would put the money towards a trampoline. I told them to price their items between 50 cents and a dollar. At one point, I heard my 9-year old tell my five-year old to put $25 on... Sign in to see full entry.

Talking Chipmunks

While watching the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks" with my five-year old, I was pleased to hear him say, "You know, Mom, this movie isn't real." At the very moment he said this, Alvin and his brothers where singing and shaking their "thang." I said proudly, "That is right, this is just a movie and... Sign in to see full entry.

Remember Who You Are!

My dad is a teacher, has been for 34 years. He is a damn good teacher who is loved and respected by most anyone who knows him. But because of a personality conflict with his administration, he, along with many other long-term teachers have been targeted and harassed to the point that they all have...

About this Blog

I do some crazy things. I am that person who unintentionally says the most inappropriate things at the worst possible times. This blog is dedicated to my crazy mishaps and all the humor I find in the chaos around me. It really has nothing at all to do with Martinis, except that I usually find myself needing one at the end of the day.
