Love and Marriage
So anyway. I went to the Bloggess’ “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” book signing event on Friday night and it was marvelous. And I’m not just saying that. I was in the Bay Area with Pamela, my new best work friend, and we were done with our meetings in Mt. View by 4:00 at an […]
Last night at 2:00 a.m. a big wave of pain washed over me while I was at the bathroom sink fiddling with the childproof cap on my pain pills. I said the “F” word, and the next thing I know, I’m lying down with my head on the floor of my closet and my husband’s […]
I originally posted this a year ago, on December 5, 2009, but when I saw the amazing Mizfitonline’s post about her daughter playing hopscotch and the health benefits of hopping today, I remembered that I actually started this International Society of Hopscotch. Perhaps it’s time to hop to it again? In my ongoing quest for fun fitness […]
I have not watched Sarah Palin’s Alaska reality show yet, so I have not seen her house, or her yard on TV or in real life. But from the pictures, it looks like the yard is big, and someone’s gotta mow it. I’m assuming Todd mows their lawn, because Sarah’s so busy. I’m sure she […]
Maybe I should run for President. There is talk of it. Okay, it’s me talking. Mostly. But I think it could be fun. I’d get new clothes, right? I used to think I’d be a horrible politician, because I’m not interested in politics, or politicians, or the intricacies of policy and law-making. Or fighting with […]
I’ve been “under the weather” this week, and considered canceling my Sunday morning brunch date with my husband. The relentless pouring rain and dizzying side effects from some new massive vitamins my doctor prescribed tried to lull me back to bed and a nap. But I was in NYC last Sunday and missed our date, […]
Seriously? This is the picture my husband took today. As if he doesn’t know how to use a camera, which isn’t the case. At all. I did not say “You call yourself a photographer?” today. It’s pointless. So I started dating again. My husband and I are going out on Sundays now, so I’m going […]
My husband and I have been going out to breakfast on Sunday mornings lately, so we can talk without kids and dogs interrupting every half spoken, unfinished sentence we attempt. I actually brush my hair and wear a dress, so that makes it like a date. Here’s how our date went yesterday: Me: “Can I […]
On Friday, Cathleen Rittereiser, one of my Facebook friends, posted a note on her page saying she was taking a day off from social media on September 11th, to observe 2751 moments of silence , as a way to honor the people killed during the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11, 2001. “By defining a ‘moment’ […]
Note from @juliejulie: I’m going to fold my Posterous Blog, where I started writing little snippets of my daily conversations, back into this blog. I wrote this post back in February, when I was trying to figure out how to balance home and work and what I really want to do when I grow up. […]
