My husband and I have a repulsion for squirrels. If we see one anywhere near our house, we both start getting an uncontrollable nervous twitch. We have anger fantasies towards them. The thought of a squirrel concentration camp. Maybe poisonous gas involved. Oooh – – or an execution lineup. I’m sure you’re thinking that we’re […]
Super-Glue Phlegm
If the title grosses you out, Please just go ahead and stop reading. Find another post to read. I have plenty that aren’t gross at all – such as Toenail Art! Now, for the brave readers. . .(after all, many of you have said recently how you like me being real!) I have had phlegm […]
I Hate Honking.
I sincerely hate honking. I refuse to do it, with one exception: if honking is necessary to stop someone from running into me. The only problem is that since that is the only time I use my horn, I usually can’t even find it quickly enough to prevent a problem. THAT’S how rarely I honk. […]
Our Annual Visitors
To the Ladybug in Charge of Winter Home Assignment; Birmingham Embassy of Ladybugs: First of all, let me compliment your organization skills. To be able to organize 44 ladybugs to all show up in one place at the same time is quite impressive. It reminds me of the flash mob craze, except without the internet […]
A Poetic Conclusion
Remember my birthday a couple of weeks ago? You know, that day that I spent deathly ill. . . yeah that one. Anyway, as part of my birthday surprise, Chris had ordered me my favorite kind of cake, a carrot cake – a large – actually huge one –from a wonderful Birmingham bakery, Edgar’s. The […]
Public Service Announcement: Global Warming, El Nino, or some other scapegoat has caused the days in October to be wrong.
I heard a rumor that today was the 10th of October, but that is not true. Today is the EIGHTH of October, which means that tomorrow is my birthday!! Because, you see, I did not, in fact, spend my birthday laying awake all night with a stomach ache, then puking half my body weight, then […]
I’m Starting to Catch onto a Trend Here. . .
First of all, thank you SO much to my sweet hubby for my surprise post! I love you! And thank you to all of my friends here and on facebook that have wished me a happy birthday! Second of all, I will have you all know that I slept until 11:15am on my birthday. However, […]
Electricity (and Gramamma) Saves the Day!!
I am exhausted.I don’t really have an excuse, except for a just plain busy morning. Oh yeah, and I got up earlier than usual. Maybe that’s it. I had my post-surgical doctor’s appointment at 8am this morning, so I dutifully set my alarm clock back to 6:30 instead of it’s usual 7. Life is tough, […]
Rave Hairspray Does Not a Roach Kill
So I think I have mentioned previously my illogical and very serious fear of roaches. I am lucky that we don’t see them too often, but being that this is the SOUTH, you can’t fully avoid the devilish creatures. And when they do make an appearance, you can rest assured that I am screaming, squeezing […]
Weak Attempts at Normalcy and Blogging
Today is my day to jump back into life with two feet. . . although my jumping abilities are still a bit awkward. My pain level has lessened a good deal, but my belly still looks like I was in a battlezone and is swollen in such a way as to make me look like […]
