that I cannot do.
I can lie. I can tell people their butt doesn’t look fat in those pants. I can tell people that their casserole is tasty. And when I was a kid, I could always tell my dear mother that I was going to the movies with Sue, when really we were just going to troll around Glen Rose and wind [...]

you have to see this movie…you especially have to see this movie if you have ever been in high school and just didn’t fit in…you have to see this movie if you have come from a completely fucked up family…you have got to see this movie if you’ve been diagnosed with ADD and you don’t [...]
Anniversary 2008

Ten years ago tonight, Rob and I were in the sparkly city of Las Vegas…the other city that never sleeps. Rob’s brother, Ron, and his 21-year-old then wife, Summer, met us at The Rio and put us up for two nights in the first 300-dollar hotel suite I’d ever stayed in. Oh my GAWD we [...]
Sadly, of STILL being HOTT
Posted in Uncategorized on June 26, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well, after a blissfully chilly day yesterday, our AC unit decided today that it didn’t like making us so cool. For whatever reason, some time overnight it decided to freeze up again. We struggled with it today, turning it on and turning it off and letting the snowcone that builds up on that little pipe [...]

with two Ts.
Why am I hot with two Ts, you might ask…well, it’s because our air conditioner has been out since yesterday morning. It has literally been cooler outside than inside now for 48 hours.
Of course, there was not one single AC company who could come out today, with the earliest time anyone could come [...]
Dead Like Me…and looking for Vacation Houses
Posted in Uncategorized on June 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m going to go on record here and say that I think Dead Like Me was one of the most brilliant programs ever put on television. I fear that I have just watched the last one (on rerun after SNL). If it was the last one, I wonder what I’ll do with myself on Saturday [...]

I have, the last few days, been having a difficult time with my ‘black mood.’ I characterize these little spells like this…it is when my brain goes to deep, dark places to contemplate numerous and sundry different horrible scenarios…like
If I die, who is going to take care of the Boy. Who will make sure he [...]
A Little Story from My First Life

Back in the day…back when I was a young, pretty, in-shape, Sunday School teaching mother, the ex and i used to fraternize with the “couples class” at Calvary Baptist Church, where, incidentally, the theory was if the men folk were thirsty or hungry, it was the women folk’s job to get them something to fill up [...]
That Breeze You Felt…

about 8:07 p.m. CST was this mom heaving a huge sigh of relief when the Longhorn called me to let me know she now has a place to hang her hat, so to speak, come mid-August, when she starts her junior year in UT in Austin. She sealed the deal with a young, professional couple [...]
The NBA playoffs…my take
Posted in Uncategorized on June 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
When I first started watching NBA ball, I gotta tell you it wasn’t so much about the basketball as it was about Phil Jackson. He was to me, Dreamy McCoachie. If the Lakers were playing, i could really give a shit less about Magic Johnson, I was watching Phil. I eventually got past that and [...]
