Dirty Banana Pants

Today was a pretty damned good day, I would have to admit.  I had a presentation before THE COMPANY and feel like it went pretty well.  Of course, it could have been better, but then, I believe everyone and everything has room for improvment.  What almost threw me off was the fact that the MAN’s […]

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 […]

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, […]

Although I almost killed a man looking for a dress for New Year’s, I did manage to find one.  Friday, Stew went on an over night trip with some friends.  He called me from the road and offered to take me out on Saturday to look for a dress.  Even though he has known me […]

I was informed, a little over a week ago, that my niece, Lauren, would be performing in her church’s Christmas program.  Fine.  I’ll go.  Even if it means that I will be setting foot in the House of the Lord.  Yes, I know, God forgives and Jesus saves, but it’s been almost 13 year’s since […]

Today I will vote.  Although, this morning, I chose to put it off until later since my bladder was about to explode.  Voting is a big deal in my family.  If you don’t vote, you will shame the family.  They will all dress in black and act as if you committed indecent acts with the […]

Before the theft of my purse and my mother’s digital camera.  I had a very nice camera, which Jake had pulled off of a high surface causing it to fall and break something.  My little camera has been sent to the doctor a few times and comes back in good shape, but not great shape.  […]

Why have I been blogging this week about my oh-so-interesting relationship stories?  Because today, TODAY marks the 4th anniversary of when I made Stew marry me.  I know that each day, he looks into the mirror and thinks to himself, “What have I gotten myself into?”
In our 4 little years, we have accomplished quite a […]

Stew and I dated for almost 2 1/2 years, before I decided it was time.  We attended several parties together over that time period, and the more parties we attended, the more we became the only unmarried couple. 
Not being married never bothered me.  It was the questions I was asked about our relationship that began to […]

My Dad is a very straight forward type of guy.  What you see is exactly what you get.  If doesn’t like you, he won’t say much to you.  If he likes you, he’ll talk your leg off.  He is an avid hunter, or rather a rabid hunter.  He and my brothers plan their hunting trips […]
