We didn’t take a self-portrait this year, but here’s a picture of my father-in-law instead. The nibble fodder that I put out for Christmas morning. Orchids and holly. I threw that together myself! How Martha is that? A bubble light from Esteban’s childhood makes its first appearance on a Christmas tree in thirty years.

On Christmas morning, I woke up around 9 am. Esteban was still sacked out, since he had been up until 4 am playing his troll game and then talking on the phone with one of his WoW cohorts so I let him sleep in. I got dressed and started prepping the snacks for our impending […]

On Christmas Eve, Estrogen Happy Hour was doing its part to make Christmas bright. Man, I forget how little energy I have, between the cramping and the low grade anemia. I spent the better part of the morning trying to pull together wrapping materials and sitting on the chaise with a heating pad, moaning softly. […]

Tonight, we had Esteban’s paternal family gathering, which meant that I had to smile and talk to his uncle’s mistress Tequila and concentrate very hard to prevent myself from rolling my eyes at her. Because I do. Roll my eyes. A LOT. Esteban’s cousin is expecting a baby, the first pregnancy on that side of […]

It is raining here. On prom night. Ok, I don’t know where that came from. Wasn’t that a really awful song from the Grease soundtrack? I should haul out my LP and check. It’s not just raining, it’s fucking pouring outside. What happened to a white Christmas, people? This is the reason I live in […]

Ok, I have spoken out against the cigarette butt throwers and now I’m going to vent some more. Are you ready? People who do not get their pets spayed or neutered are fucking assholes. Yes, that’s right. Fucking assholes. You know, kittens are awesome and I LOVE puppies. I love animals in general and puppies […]

My sister and I had originally planned to go to Ikea in Chicago on Sunday, but then she piked to catch up on work, so that left me a little screwed for long distance shopping opportunities. Because honestly, I needed to go to Trader Joe’s in the worst way, as we were out of red […]

After Saturday’s productivity fest, I did fuck all on Sunday. Actually, I take that back. Both our outdoor lights require these incredibly annoying little bulbs made out of fairy wings or something. You can only buy the 25 watt bulbs because otherwise they get too hot and burn the seating, and Home Depot is the […]

Yesterday morning, I woke up at 6:30 am and was completely wide awake, which sucks because what a waste of a Saturday morning. If it’s a weekend and I wake up early enough where I could plausibly make it to work on time, I feel as though I’ve failed my Monday through Friday self somehow. […]

Anyone who has ever driven in a car with me for any amount of time knows that I dislike it when other drivers throw cigarette butts out their car windows. And by “dislike” I mean, full on, balls to the wall shit storm apoplectic. I have honked my horn. I have screamed incoherent nonsense. I […]
