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 […]
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 […]
I Said It Felt Like a Mole on His…
The difficulty with trying to say something significant in a previous blog post is always in coming up with something worthy for the post following it. There’s only so much soul-wrenching material I can pull out of myself at a time. But there have been a few things that have happened since I last wrote. […]
I Have Seen the Future! Got Poop?
Guess what yesterday was? Correct! Thursday. And guess what I didn’t complete on time? Right again! My blog post. Now, I could make up some really incredible excuses that would blow your mind and delight your senses, but it would be a lie and that’s what you buy my books for. That’s why we call […]
Those Emotional Moments With Your Half Vulcan Husband
Ralph isn’t entirely convinced emotions are a worthy facet to one’s personality. They irk him. Well, mine irk him. And it may be because I have a plethora of them going on…typically all at the same time at any given moment…which then change without notice. I can’t help it. In that, I am most definitely […]
Naughty, But Nice and My Token African American Card!
You’ve heard the horror stories about family gatherings and seen the dysfunctional Christmas comedies, but have you ever lived through one yourself? Probably. You’ve just never lived through one with my family. I’ve avoided the phenomena known as the “extended family gathering” on my mom’s side for the past seventeen years. They didn’t invite me […]
The Power of Maybe
My guy told me more than once after we started going out that he would be surprised if he lived past 30 years old. He couldn’t explain it, there was no rational explanation for it and I think he actually believed it. It really freaked me out when he’d say that. This is an odd […]
Would Tennessee Hire Paul Bunyan If He Was Gay?
Someone on Twitter gave me a nice compliment the other day. He said that I give things a nice twist when I talk about them and that I should keep expressing myself about things that go against what the masses think. It’s food for thought. The masses certainly go against me from time to time. […]
Now THAT’S Funny! Well, Kinda Sorta. Mostly.
I have a pretty good idea when I stick my foot in my mouth. The biggest subtle hint is the look on someone’s face; squishy, irritated, uglyish and typically attempting to blurt several responses all at the same time, yet usually never finding their way into intelligible words. And then sometimes there’s the less-than-subtle hints. […]
OnStar and a Tale Of Busch
Has anybody heard those OnStar commercials on the radio? Kind of annoying, aren’t they? Seriously, shut up and let me listen to Sly Fox’s “Let’s Go All The Way” on DougFM. Oh, and as an aside, I woke up at 5am this morning, turned my mp3 player on and proceeded to shower to “Me So […]
