New Attitude
Perhaps smack in the middle of a very unpleasant cold is not the best place to be making decisions, but nobody ever said I was the sharpest knife in the drawer.
But something clicked in me this morning.
I need to bump the negative out of my life. The sour grapes. The whiners. The complainers. The chronic malcontents, who, no matter what are always determined to find the dark side of everything.
I’m not saying life is all sunshine and rainbows. I know it’s not. I’ve done my fair share of twitter bitching, for sure. But you ever notice that… Continue reading
My Tale of Insanity
You might not realize this about me, but I’m a curmudgeon about Halloween. Fall in general really. I hate that summer is over and I despise the dark coming so early in the day. I cringe at the thought of the upcoming SIX MONTHS OF RAIN RAIN NOTHING BUT RAIN. All my favorite food bloggers are obsessed with pumpkin bread, pumpkin pies, pumpkin soup, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin, pumpkin everywhere. Oh yeah, and I think pumpkin must have come from Satan’s anus, because that shit is nasty.
As for Halloween itself, meh. After working 8 hours and dealing with people all… Continue reading
Imagine
Imagine a world in which your children only were tucked into beds under your roof two weeks out of every month.
Imagine a world in which mornings did not always include a sweet sleepy face saying “Good morning Mommy”.
Imagine a world, in which your baby did, said and tried new things for the first time and you hear about it afterwards.
Imagine not being able to see or touch the soft hair of the person you gave birth to, because the court says it’s not your day.
Imagine walking out of a house, hearing your child screaming for you,… Continue reading
The One In Which I Whine. Again.
In the grand scheme of things, my life is pretty good. I have a nice house, a nice car. I have a beautiful daughter, who is healthy (other than a rash caused by her Pampers, thanks a lot for that, P&G), a husband, a good job. From the outside, one might look in and think I have it pretty good.
However.
Ahem.
I have had a serious case of super bitch going on this week. I’m tired. I’ve been battling some kind of creeping crud that just flattened me for a day or two. Flattened being a relative term, seeing… Continue reading
GTT Was Hacked, So I Took This Opportunity To Bitch Instead
I was planning to participate in Girl Talk Thursday this week, but it seems that the site has been hit by the Word Press Apocolypse that’s going on so, instead I bring you this random collection of rants.
It’s been almost a week since I’ve posted here. I’m having a hard time coming up with things to say.
Actually, that’s bullshit. I have lots to say, I’ve just been too lazy to deal with it. I wanted to write a birthday posts for Issa and Liz, but I never managed to get it done. Hell, I barely got their birthday… Continue reading
I Left High School But It Never Left Me
High school when you are poor and overweight is not fun. High school when you are poor, overweight and painfully shy? Torture.
It’s always been hard for me to be in social situations with people I’m not familiar. Especially after having spent so many years of the company of people I did know who were less than subtle about keeping their distance from me. Heaven forbid one of the popular kids be seen walking down the hall with me. Or talking to me. Or sitting next to me at lunch. I wasn’t one of those kids. I didn’t fit in… Continue reading
How To Drive Me Crazy
Issa posted yesterday about things she hates. I jokingly stated that I should write a list like that, but I was afraid if I started, I might never stop.
However, it being Friday, and sunny outside, I don’t feel like writing anything serious or deep today.
So without further ado, here’s a list of a few of the things I especially dislike. Hopefully, I won’t have to start another blog just to contain it all. 
Websites with videos that automatically start. Some of us are trying to stealthily surf the net (OMG, that sounds SO 90′s) from work, yo. How… Continue reading
Friday Rants
I have spent a large portion of this entire week irritated by one thing or another. Is it really too much to ask that the world gets a clue? Apparently so, and it doesn’t look as though it is going to happen anytime soon anyway. So what’s been chapping my ass this week, you ask? Ok, maybe you didn’t ask, but seeing as how this is my blog, I’m gonna tell you anyway.
- People who want to tell other people what to write on their blog. If you want specific content, perhaps you should write your own. If you don’t… Continue reading
Friendship and the internet, what it all really means….yeah, here I go again.
This is the post where I call out my own hypocrisy and tell you why I went back to Twitter. Plus a small dissertation on friendship.
I was reading comments on a friend’s blog recently and the subject of Twitter was being discussed. Some folks were talking about paring down their follower list to make it more manageable, since it is physically impossible to keep up with the daily ramblings of 900+ people. I started thinking, what if I restored my account, and whittled away at my list so that I was only following/being followed by the few people I… Continue reading
Why I’m a Twitter Quitter
This was not the post I intended to write today. I had something else in mind entirely about how hard it is to get Miss Avacakes to eat these days. But since I created an account just to update Twitter when I have a new blog post, I have some questions to answer about why I left.
This may be very difficult for some of you to understand, and that’s ok. My reasons are my own and at the end of the day they make sense to me and that’s what matters. But I know a lot of you were… Continue reading
