Dirty Banana Pants

The pity party, that is.  I spent part of Thursday and Friday feeling sorry for myself and Stew…I’m done now.  We are both done with that crap….damnit anyway.
We went to a Hornets game Saturday night, and even had over night babysitters - woo hoo!  Stew and I almost took complete advantage and skipped the game….to […]

Several years ago, I had a job where I worked with a woman named Mary.  Mary was (and still is) the queen of gossip, amongst other things.  But her special talent was to depress the hell out of you.  For example, let’s say you just got laid, won the lottery, and found out you were the […]

Yesterday, I’m driving to get my kids and listening to my radio.  The local news anchor woman comes on to give us our daily news ‘teaser’.  You know, the little tidbits of information that will entice us to watch the evening newscast, otherwise, no one would tune in….
She announces that two dangerous inmates have escaped […]

I’m sitting at Stew’s shop, looked down and saw a phone message with the blog title at the top.  I think about corporate America, and can only imagine someone being introduced at a huge convention as “Tracy - this is a dude, y’all”.
Well, here’s the scoop on the whole trials and tribulations of my job […]

I just read the headline for this story and felt compelled to verify my alibi….this was in Kentucky….I am in Oklahoma…..it wasn’t me, I swear.

Early last week, Stew came upon an article by Dr. Phil.  It gave suggestions on things we can all do to invigorate our marriages.  One of the things it mentioned was bowling.
Me: Bowling?
Stew: Bowling.
Me: I’d go bowling.
Stew: Really?  Okay.
And that was it.  Stew had inadvertently asked me out on a date.  It was funny because, […]

I celebrated my 35th birthday this past Sunday…woo hoo.  Iced in, nowhere to go, trapped in our teeny-tiny house with an almost 2 year-old and an almost 3 year-old.  Utopia.  No, really, it was.
The week before the ice storm hit, my mother mentions my upcoming age increase.
Mom: I saw on television, that you need to […]

Last summer was a tough time for me.  We had a lot going on, too much to mention.  So, during this time, I gave myself many excuses not to take care of myself.  I was too busy, too stressed, too tired, etc,…  Until I passed a blind man jogging in the park.  At that moment, I […]

Last week, I filed for unemployment.  I am hoping that I won’t be given the chance to collect a check, but we shall see.  What an experience.
I was so shocked that we could file electronically here in sticksville, however, it is still necessary to report to an office and show some identification, so you can […]

I planned on filing for unemployment this morning.  So, last night, I looked online to see where the unemployment office was located and to my surprise….Oklahoma has implemented a bit of technology.  I was able to file my claim online!  I couldn’t believe it.  The last time I was laid off, I had to physically […]
