I’ve avoided writing too many blog posts about the upcoming political election, or making Facebook/Twitter posts about it because…well, everybody else is pretty much doing it. I’m tired of the whole thing. I’m tired of the worrying, which I’m very, very good at by the way. My Little Brother often tells me to chill out, […]
Grandmother? Let Me Tell You About My Grandmother
I mentioned a while back that my grandmother (not my husband’s grandmother) went in for surgery on her shoulder three weeks ago only to have it postponed because her potassium levels had dropped dangerously low. I mention it again because the rescheduled surgery was this past Tuesday, and it went off without a hitch. She’s […]
Three Things…Including The Hong Kong Grandmother’s Arrival
Okay, I DID finish cleaning the house and got it in impeccable order. This is one of the few times I’ll give myself a pat on the back for making the place look really good. The hubby sorted and gutted all the crap that had been sitting out for three years I couldn’t do anything […]
What You’ll Never See In A Haunted House/Demon/Demonic Possession Movie
The LGBTQ community. That’s what you won’t see. Eddie Murphy had it right back when he recorded Comedian about never seeing African American people in horror movies. If he’d filmed it these days, he’d have been more specific and said they were no heterosexual African American people. Why? They’re too smart. White folks, on the […]
A Third Anniversary, And Why I Thought I Had Mystical Powers
Yesterday was a day of anniversaries. The big one, though, was the third anniversary of my spending the first night in our house after moving in. My father-in-law, whose house it had been, passed away five months earlier, and we’d gutted and redesigned the kitchen, had the whole inside repainted, and put in new carpet. […]
Where Does the Line Exist For Being Too Personal Online?
I’ve joked before about feeling at times like I have too many people telling me what to do. When Ralph isn’t in town, Little Brother feels the need to take up the slack so that my husband doesn’t have to worry. It’s a Chinese courtesy. This usually entails Little Brother expressing his opinion about whatever […]
NEVER Come Between Your Asian And Shopping
There are two things I shudder at the thought of when my husband flies in for a weekend; first and foremost, the mess he makes. This is a man who can turn order into chaos is less than 30 seconds. Second, the shopping…if there is any. Cleaning for me tends to take a while after […]
Did…Did He Just Introduce Us As Husbands…A Lot?
So my brother-in-law who you’ve affectionately come to know in these blog posts is officially engaged to his girlfriend. We are genuinely pleased about this while their friends are genuinely relieved. There have apparently been betting pools going on regarding if he’d ever actually pop the question. There may have even been a betting pool […]
Thursday’s Potpourri Blog Post
I’ve been writing about politics lately (presidential and author politics), and some other heavy subjects, so I felt the tiniest bit burned out last night when I sat down to write today’s post. What the hell did I want to say? Did I want to say anything? No. I wanted tea…and a mildly heated up […]
Everything I Learned About Perseverance, I Learned From Twisted Sister
Not entirely. But I would have if I was just starting out in my career as an author and watched the recent documentary on the band, We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! I watched it last night. Whatever I thought I knew about the band was blown away. It turns out I didn’t know very much […]
