where is everyone? seriously!

I need a distraction.
I’ve been writing the same paragraph for two hours and it ain’t goin’ nowhere.
I need a distraction…NOW.
I called my neighbor down the street—no answer.
I called my neighbor across the street—no answer.
I called my boss-slash-friend—no answer.
I can’t call Maria Geraci because she picked up an extra shift tonight. She’d hang up on me [...]

and then there was delivery…

It’s Friday night and I’m sitting on my futon with my laptop perched on my lap, egrossed in rewrites.
Dinner was an afterthought. Fishdog comes home and asks if I’d given any thought to food.
Delivery. Ah the magic of delivery. I pay my homage to the creation of food delivery once a week or so.
Once upon [...]

Familiar Faces and Licking Nipples

Familiar FacesI used to take the youngest to school in the mornings. After I dropped him off, I would take a right and head to work…and almost every morning I would see the same lady out on her daily run/walk.

we interrupt your regularly scheduled program…

Okay, so I’m watching Idol tonight.
I personally thougth Kat rocked. She blew me away. (and she looked like sex-on-a-stick) Generally, I agree with Simon, but tonight, his common sense had left the building.
And, okay, Elliot sounded great (even though he bores me a little) but to see Paula acting all “I need a tissue” over [...]

It’s Field Day

I’m trying to find my inner child as I ready myself to man the kickball game at my oldest son’s school.
My inner child is hiding.
She’s somewhere, deep inside, screaming at me for volunteering to be one of those moms today. Usually, Fishdog is the school parent. But something came over me when I saw KICKBALL. [...]

Commercials that creep me out

I’ll admit it…I’m commercial sensitive.
When Burger King came up with the ad campaign with the Creepy Big-Headed King in the ads, I sent them a letter of protest.
Not that my letter made a difference. Dude is still in the commercials, and he still creeps the hell outta me.
Then there was the Levi’s commercial where [...]

and then he was sorry…

My 8 year old had a really, really, really bad day at school a couple of weeks ago.
It was so bad, he came home and told me about it. He told me everything–except for the part where he was extremely rude to the assistant teacher. He absolutely refused to do anything she told him and [...]
