Hey how about those __________
So I don’t post anything specific about work, and I’m not going to start now, because a girl could way get fired that way and then who’s going to pay for all the debauchery around here? But I’m just going to say: gosh darn it some people are difficult to work with. And I’m not…

Monday again?
So it’s Monday again. I’d really like to speak with whoever’s in charge about how the weekends fly by and suddenly it’s Monday and I didn’t get half the shit done I meant to do and now I have to go to work again. It started oh so fantastically with waking up abruptly and realizing…

Poetry in Motion
So I went to the gym again today. It’s starting to become some kind of habit or something. Helga made me do the usual unspeakable acts, and afterward I retreated to the safety of the DeathMaster. Now, I’ve been sick lately and you’d be surprised how much it takes it out of you to have…

Scapulas of fire
So Monday marked my first day back with Helga after this flare of Uncomfortable Embarrassing Chronic Digestive Malady. He went easy on me, uncharacteristic of him, but I think it’s just a ploy to keep me alive longer. So he can torment me more. We did the usual carefree skipping about, punctuated by pushups on…

Oh I forgot
So when we got home from the beach, we found that the planets had all aligned or something and all of the cats were lounging on the bed. Like, at the same time. Almost touching, even! Later I found the most curmudgeonly, Grandpa, in a compromising position with Heals’s back legs around his neck. I…

Snowmageddon 2012!
So these were taken last week, but I’m lazy. It started snowing at 9:30pm and stopped by morning. In fact it was already raining by 8am. But that didn’t stop the kids from playing in it. The youngest child took one look and was all, Yeah, you guys have fun, I’m staying in where it’s…

Birthday Fun!
So The Lovely Rhonda turns an undisclosed, youthful age today, and to celebrate this we repaired to the beach for grown-up time. This almost didn’t happen because some child-care arrangement plans fell through, but my adorable cousin Carmen agreed to come stay the weekend with our children. Despite having met them all before. We cannot…

Gaming for non-gamers
An actual conversation: Me: Oooh, I got a new companion. The Lovely Rhonda: What, another one? Me: Yeah. Some uptight former Imperial soldier girl. TLR: So how many is that? Me: Well I have the robot. The cat-guy. And this chick just now. TLR: Oh you mean your ship’s robot? Me: No, it’s a war…

“Snow” Day
So this being the Pacific Northwest, and a valley location specifically, we don’t get a ton of snow. Therefore, when we do it’s like a major event. The news agencies put an idiot on every corner talking about the snow: we might get some, it’s coming, it’s here, it’s sticking, it’s cold, it’s slippery, it’s…

The Malady
So if one suffers from a Chronic Malady, particularly on that involves the less than glamorous Digestive System, it’s nearly impossible to blog (nay, even to speak) about it without having to foray into areas of the body and symptoms that virtually no-one cares to discuss. That all being said, I’m really sick of feeling…
