Dirty Banana Pants

I have this thing about going through the motions.  Where you are nice and courteous for the sake of…I don’t know what.  For the sake of others feelings, I guess.  But, as I’ve grown older, I’ve tried very hard not to tell someone I love them, if I don’t.  If I say I am going […]

A few weeks ago our most reliable babysitter called to say she was moving to Florida…..THE FOLLOWING WEEK!  I now understand why people steal each other’s nannies.  I think I could get a book on brain surgery, read it and perform it with greater success than I would in getting a babysitter to call me […]

Yesterday I attended a luncheon and along the way, gave a ride to my good friend Julie and her assistant, Summer or Sunshine or something bright and cheery.  I had never met Summer Sunshine before and wondered if she knew how to speak.  I realize that for very introverted, sheltered people, being in my presence […]

I’m a little jealous…or, really, I am A LOT jealous of Bettina.  She has done some traveling recently and has some gorgeous pictures to prove it.  She mentions cool people, great food, Indians…whatever.  I have not been on a trip trip since before Jake was born. 
I had just past my morning sickness phase and was […]

A few months ago I made the decision to have a few tattoos removed.  No one talked me into it, nothing was said to me regarding my ink….I just decided to have it done.  I’ve looked at the results, researched it for a long time, and asked for referrals.  A friend of mine suggested a […]

I’ve had to kick myself a few times to make sure that I’m not dreaming, hallucinating, or suffering from delusions.  Oklahoma City has been named #1, in the nation, for something GOOD!  We are the number 1 recession proof city in AMERICA!!!!  This is based on a study from Forbes Magazine.
In that past we have […]

My new, luxurious office has a gigantic glass wall.  Hence, I am unable to adjust myself as I normally would had I not been housed in a human-sized fish tank.  My view consists of 3 women.  For the most part they are quiet and keep to themselves.  I would offer them fashion advice, but I […]

I came across an article today about a 19-year-old girl who became the youngest college professor in history.  What is it in the normal people’s pscyhe (yes, using “normal” a bit loosely, but follow me here) that when they learn of someone like this, they instantly feel the need to kick the person’s ass?
What is […]

Yesterday afternoon, shortly after 4pm cst, the clouds parted, the planets aligned, the angels came down from the heavens and my phone rang.  It was Guy #1.  I got the job.  NO FREAKIN’ WAY!  There is a catch….they want me to start this Monday….hence, I would need to give my current employer a whopping 3-day […]

Okay, so I’ve not said much lately, but I’m working on that.  I’m working a job right now that is decent.  And by decent, I mean I get a paycheck.  I’m not finding the cure for cancer, although that would be cool, but I’m writing stuff and making pretty presentations.  I had a job a few […]
