Most people watch TV; I tend to watch commercials. In particular, I watch a lot of soap commercials. Not because I have a ‘thing’ for soap, but because that’s usually what the networks force on me.
It dawned on me last night — soap hardly ever comes in your basic white color. There’s pink soap, gold soap, [...]

Eureka!

We found the house. This is a perfect house for us. True, it has more square footage (nearly 5,000) than we need, but it meanders, which is exactly what I’ve been looking for. It’s okay for beauhunk who goes to work every day and gets out of the house and into a different environment; but [...]
Black and White We are Friends

My friends and I were out back having lunch, having a grand time, until one of my friends, who happens to be black, brought up the old movie Amistad.
“You know,” she said in conversation, “all the trouble started when the whites first bought our people into slavery.”
“I don’t think so,” my other friend replied. “All the trouble [...]
The All Powerful Raspberry

I’d like to take a few moments to talk about something that while on the surface may appear trivial, it is actually important to me. The raspberry. You know the one I’m talking about… the Pfffffftt !!!!! one. I’m sure you’ve all had cause to use it at one time or another throughout your life. I’ve [...]
I want my damned life back, okay?

The Drama Queen, DQ for short, just doesn’t get it. I love my grandchild, but let’s face it, there’s a reason why women can’t have children after a certain age. I don’t have the energy it takes to keep up with an extremely inquisitive, hyperactive, almost 2-year old boy. He runs me ragged. He runs [...]
A So-So Week

That stupid builder from Stone Ranch never got back with us in time, so we weren’t able to go look at houses this weekend. We did contact a realtor who will go with us next weekend. Our standards have had to come down a bit because apparently builders built so many houses that they are [...]
Day 1: I should feel something
Posted in General, tagged anger, confusion, death, family, grief, unfit parent on April 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »
But I don’t. A couple of weeks ago I got word that the man who happens to be my biological father is dying. I suppose my brothers will be angry if I don’t go to this final get together the family is planning for next month; but the truth is, I can’t go without calling [...]
Stingy Blogging
Posted in General, tagged blogging, sharing, shrink, thoughts on April 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Blogging can’t possibly be my forte. For one thing, I have trouble sharing. Have always had trouble sharing even as a child. I mean, what’s mine is mine, dammit, and that includes my thoughts. So I water things down when I’m blogging and that can’t be a good thing. Can it? I know no one [...]
Another weekend wasted
Posted in The Move, tagged family, Fort Worth, house search, moving on April 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
At this point in the game we should be at least half-way packed; but we’re not. There’s a hundred and one reasons as to why not, but the main one is the one about me not feeling up to it just yet. The whole mess seems daunting to me and I don’t do daunting very [...]
