This week for Celebrate the Small Things I am celebrating: Getting lots of writing done. 2. Getting a free Cinco de Mayo t-shirt from Moe’s (one of my favorite chain eateries ever!) I got there at opening time and there was literally a line around the store. Someone had even brought lawn chairs to […]
There are two things that I would like to take a moment to clarify – well, at least two. First, Socrates my husband would have been nothing without me. I was the real brains of the operation. Have you ever heard of the Socratic method? Yeah, it should probably be called the Xanthippic method – […]
Yeah, I was paying attention. I know what you’re planning to do and have a pretty good idea why. I’d like to say something like “good luck” and “see you when you get back.” I’d even like to try again to talk you out of this. Instead, I just want to point out – one […]
Our colony decided to try something new. For one day each year, one of us would give it a try – being the one in charge. Personally, I hated it. First, there’s these horny guys who keep on fighting with each other, with anyone who dares cross their path. Then, there’s the tiny dark space […]
I once owed money to you, Then one time became two. When I go inside Now I must hide Away from your point of view. Happy Monday. Just past the midpoint for the A-Z Challenge.
Let’s go to the movies. I’ve really been wanting to watch the latest Quentin Tarantino. Great idea. Let’s invite our friends. Yeah, let’s. Let’s go out for ice cream after. Anyone else want to? No? Let’s go anyway. Let’s. Let’s kiss a little. Let’s go back to my place. Yes, let’s. Let’s exchange phone numbers […]
In retrospect, I should have known something was not quite right about the offer. I had already decided to stop responding to strange internet ads. Like, that one time the really great deal on a new Xbox turned out to be a cardboard box with an X and a smiley face on it. Ha […]
Yesterday we spoke about Gary, who was a great guy. Today, we continue his tale, with his kids. As men tend to do when left to their own devices, Gary found a wife and had kids. Most of Gary’s descendants were like him: hairy, inquisitive, and reasonably intelligent. However, some of Gary’s descendants took after […]
When the earth was newly formed and all had not yet come to be as it presently is, the ancient giants roamed the earth freely, followed by their descendants the ancient gods. Also, there was Gary, the first human being on earth. No one knows where he came from exactly. There are some theories […]
Remember the time when we were trying to break into the house because someone (clear throat) forgot her keys again, even though she swore she wouldn’t forget – just saying. We decided to wait outside and while we were outside talking you also lost your hat (it really wasn’t your day.) You went to chase […]
