The Visit
I had been dreading it for months. My uncles and my aunt Ruth planned to visit me. They were going to help my step-dad carry in a heavy couch. I still think Tom, Mom and myself could have pulled it off. I don’t have much contact with Mom’s side of the family. I don’t go......Read More

He's Just Not that into You
Joey and I broke up last May. He got back together with his Ex at blinding speed. They bought a fancy house together the end of July of last year. When trying to explain to me why he chose her over me. He told me she made really good money, and together they could afford a really nice place. He......Read More

Survivor Girl vs. The Leaf Blower
This yard is considerably larger than the one at my old house. I thought I would invest in a leaf blower. You know the kind, you can vacuum up the leaves in your yard and it mulches them and puts the mulched leaves in a little bag? It was awesome. I was mulching away. It doesn’t take......Read More

Easter Dinner
“I’m coming to your house for Easter.” Mom announced. The announcement was met with my stunned silence. I finally managed a tentative “Okaaayyy”. I suppose it has been over 5 years now. My kid brother married his wife and moved out of state. My mom married Tom......Read More

Hot Flash
If you can’t make your children behave any better than that- then perhaps you should leave them at home…with the wolves that you are apparently allowing to raise them. I didn’t actually say this to the woman with the litter of children swarming around her knocking things......Read More

Joey
“You know we are going to end up together, don‘t you?” Joey said. I couldn’t have been more shocked if he had walked over and popped me in the nose. Let me back up a little. I took Lynn out for her Birthday. Over drinks and dinner she mentioned to me that she was......Read More

CrazyTown USA
The day started off so great. I spent most of it in the field with Joey, just goofing off. He didn’t hit on me. He didn’t make any out of the way comments. We got to spend some time working with Scott who is awesome. I got to see baby cows…and I got to play with the goats. It......Read More

Switching Thoughts
I have discovered in life that whenever I am dead sure about something…and claim it triumphantly from the top of the nearest mountain- God, Nature, Life, people seem to go out of their way to prove me wrong. I am in the Walmart parking lot. I am in a particularly surly mood. I......Read More

Dog Days
Nearly 2 Acres. Not a lot of land mind you. But more land than I have ever had to care for. I have nearly two acres to mow. I bought one of those zero turn radius double handle bar control riding lawn mowers. A Cadillac of a mower. Okay, maybe not a Cadillac…more like a Fancy Ford. Anyway,......Read More

Why on Earth?
We went to see the windmills. Another project doomed to fail. The trip was fun despite it’s dreary outcome. Then it happened….Joey felt compelled to drive me past his brother’s house. We rounded the corner and his brother, his brother’s new girlfriend, and his......Read More
