saying bad things about good men
the other morning co-worker and I both long marrieds (decades counting not years) one with children one without any children, were comparing notes about bad man behaviors when one of the Young Marrieds (still counting fingers) said:
“But you both have nice helpful good guy men, right? (We nod agreement) So what are you complaining about?”
We old marrieds looked at each other for a...

the Specter of Death drives a older Chevy sports car.
I was driving back to work after lunch and saw a ?maybe-man in a very black hooded long sleeve sweatshirt with the hood pulled way down his forehead so that the face was in shadow. Anyway so I thought “oh great! The specter of Death is following me”. The only thing you could see clearly was a very pale and bony hand...

I would be really sad
if I got a hateful anon. (not that I can, I think mine is turned off.)
I don’t know why anyone would let people say things anonymously anyway. Tell it like you want, but tell me who you are….

Butt Hurt
Sir B. just said a thing that got my knickers in a twist. Instant furious. Now I am no longer speaking to him.
I doubt he has any idea he just pushed the big RED BUTTON OF DEATH. Good thing there is not such thing as instant divorce papers, or I would be SO TEMPTED!
I missed you!
Did you miss me?

We are arrived safely and I got
Sir B. to stop and pick up the rest of the event things and load my car on the way home so I won’t have to deal in the morning. After I got home I took the dogs out to play, and they had chew snacks, and then I went down for a nap.
Sir B. ran an errand and got home just as I was falling asleep. He came and woke me up after an hours nap, and then he fell asleep. I will wake him up when...

TB placed fourth on both boards. He made the national qualifying cut, on Friday we see if he gets selected.
He was pleased.
Also hotel Kelsium offers kitties and “say yes to the dress” but no breakfast.

I want ALL the balls mom
Poppycock gets so confused if she chases a ball and discovers another favorite ball in the same place!
She clearly wants to HAVE all the balls but can’t quite figure it out, the fetch them back one at a time doesn’t occur, and she can’t carry two at a time in her mouth. Generally she picks up one and paws the other for a minute and then brings me the one in her mouth.
She...

wedding thoughts...
things cost money even on your big frickin’ day
Maybe you should start by figuring out what kind of money you and whomever is helping you can afford, before you start doing things like booking a reception hall?

Sir B. is preparing to leave me
but not to worry, he is just taking some Monster Cookies* to TB and warming up the bleachers for me.
I will join him Sunday for the conference 3 Meter prelims and finals.
I have a business donor lunch tomorrow and then an event from 1-3 Saturday, so I have to drive up later**.

**I am so busy this is a bad for work, good for family plan.

not too clear
on how I feel about the fact that Lent has arrived without me noticing or caring, and I have no time for reflection or penitence.
Indication that my life is a bit out of whack? Still getting through this first year of work competently is priority one. My household depends on this.
Faithful or no, it is not a bad idea to have some moments of quiet reflection on your life and what is going...
Just in case anyone hasn't tumbled to this
I love and am proud of my grown children. They are great.
Only problem is distance.

doggy drama
CeCe gets her ears washed out on the regular, Beagle types often have issues with dirt and wax building up and causing the itchy ickies. She does not like the wash and wipe process, and cries pitifully while we do this. Poppy is always concerned and confused because clearly I am torturing her sister. I did it today since CeCe’s head shaking and scratching of ears alerted me that it was...

sigh
always, someone that feels the need to say “calm down” or “you are over reacting” when a POC feels offended by blatant racism.
Ah. NO. 1) you are not feelings police for anyone; feelings belong to the person who has them. 2) Shut up WITH THAT! What you are actually saying is “your rage on this issue is making me uncomfortable”. Is your insecurity...
Sir B. has gone to bed but Poppycock
is raring to go. I have been offered ALL THE TOYS and had to fetch the half chewed tennis ball back out from under the couch. Why do couches have room under them anyway? They should all have a stiff skirt to keep out the dust and dog toys.
I proclaim this!

The Fall of Ryking
14kgoldnyc:
steviemcfly:
This morning, I received a note from the tumblr staff alerting me to the fact that the petition had worked and ryking had been removed from his position. Thank you all for signing the petition.
First, he laughed at us. Then, he fought us. Then, he whined about cyberbullying and compared us to genocidal maniacs. And then, we won.
Thank you, stevie, for setting the...

Hello my Tumbl-bunnies!
No ‘puter at home until tonight (Sir B. took the lap top). But I wanted to share that I has Xcite because K is going to come home this weekend.
Let the royal happy dance commence.
