So the kid went out with a neighbor boy to try to make some money shoveling.Do people actually pay kids to shovel these days? He’s been gone two hours so either he’s found at least one person or they’ve decided to play instead. Probably out there building snowmen with penises.They’re about that age.(I know this

So the forecast is now up to 14-18 inches of snow.Good for us money wise, good in that I love to be curled up in the house enjoying the soft silence of a snowstorm but bad cuz everyone else is gonna be bitching about it. I dunno why people bitch. I mean… we’re in Wisconsin

Why am I up at midnight sipping a cup of joe?Why, cuz I went to bed early and got up with Taylor, of course. (He’s doing snow removal again tonight)I didn’t actually plan to be up with him but it seems I can’t sleep anymore – I have a crazy case of heartburn – so

Oh my.I fell asleep last night half way thru Idol and slept until nine this morning.God bless Ambien and finally getting tired enough that it worked at the appropriate time. Now unfortunately Taylor is supposed to do snow removal tonight which means starting at two or three in the morning and working until noon or

Workin’ on a new layout/template thingy over here at So This is Life… so, of course I have to test it. I was bored with the cherries and I’m on a coffee kick so this seemed fitting. Every time I do this, though, I wish I could take a few classes and learn how to

Up all night again.Of course, we slept half the day yesterday so I don’t know why I expected to be tired. This is getting ridiculous.Even when I take something to sleep I’m up a few hours later.I either have to pee and can’t fall back to sleep or I have a coughing fit which exacerbates

Sittin’ here, watchin’ Idol, slurpin’ up iced coffee and cravin’ cookies. Lemon cookies. Or Chinese almond cookies. Unfortunately I have no cookies. Not even generic oreos. Not even those crappy, one dollar Duplex things. Bah. I wonder if the kid has any candy stashed…

Our sleep schedules are so very fucked up. Taylor’s had to work nights a couple times in the past week or so and that’s got us both kinda messed up.Add in our normal insomnia, a very strange pattern of work/off days and the ease with which we get our days and nights mixed up and…

So…This is sort of stupid but I’m all excited.I got a message from Hugh Elliot today.Who, you ask, is Hugh Elliot?He’s just a guy, with a blog or two.But, you see, I found his blog by searching for quotes one day.And I came across one that has to be one of my absolute favorites of

So the US mail.Need I say more?I went online window shopping the other day, looking for more of the hair dye I use.The only place I’ve found it in Milwaukee is Starship on 76th and Coldspring-ish. I think the last time I bought it there it was like twelve bucks. Problem is, most times they’re

So Taylor has this gig doing snow removal tonight starting at two a.m.Supposed to be a ten, twelve hour gig.So obviously he was gonna need to doze this evening, right?Right.So I decided I’d sleep a bit, too, keep myself to his schedule so when he gets home tomorrow we’re not all out of sync and

Not much bloggin’ out of me this month.Mostly cuz absolutely nothin’ is goin’ on. The highlight of my weekend? I took the kid to get a prepaid cell phone – cuz that’s what he wanted to do with the last of his Christmas money – and bought a new mascara. (The Revlon 3D Extreme stuff.

“It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity. I bet this kind of thing does not happen to heroin addicts. I bet that when serious heroin addicts go to purchase

I opened up the little box to write a blog, chose a picture and ended up in a conversation with Taylor and totally lost my train of thought.It derailed and now my thoughts are spinning in seventy two different directions.Gah. I hate when that happens! So, anyway… Yesterday I ran to Big Lots. They have

So my house is a wreck and I don’t feel like cleaning it.All I want to do is sleep yet when bed time comes I’m wide awake – and then can’t get up the next morning.The coffee I’m drinking is absolute crap. (Roundy’s brand. We were broke this week.)Which reminds me. We’re broke.And I don’t

Today I would like to curl up with a pen and a notebook and write tragic, emo poetry. Since I don’t know how to write tragic, emo poetry I guess I’ll suck it up and clean my house, get the Christmas shit put away, do some laundry… Self indulgence of feeling depressed never really works

I’m finally doing those dishes. Can anyone say “yuck”? Yuck. I feel like a pig. I’m not. Honest. I just really, really, really hate doing dishes! I cannot wait for this month to be over! On a higher note… We’re using our birthday gift cards and going to Red Lobster for dinner tonight.Not the best

So I think I’m suffering from the winter blahs.Even though it’s been as warm as spring the past two days the level of sunlight is not the least bit springlike.My house is dim and dark and stuffy.It’s hard to fall asleep and even harder to wake up.There is no Yuletide spirit to buoy me. Ugh.I

My.Gods.Taylor let me sleep until nearly three in the afternoon. How did I DO such a thing?? I feel like a teenager.Worse. A crack whore or something. And the dishes are still in the sink.It’s like a science experiment at this point.

Soooooo….I still haven’t done those dishes.I am so very lazy. Actually, not so much lazy. I just loathe doing dishes. I really do. I can keep the whole house clean most of the time so long as someone else is doing the dishes. Gawds, this was a bad idea! The kid just shakes his head

Oh my.I was so lively in November and December, writing every day and babbling your ears off.January hits and *boom*.Quiet.I’m thinking it’s post holiday blues.

So…Absolutely nothing going on.I think we’re all in a bit of a post Holiday funk.My house is a wreck, I have dishes stacked to the ceiling, gifts strewn thru the house…and all I really want to do is curl up in bed with my book and my coffee.What a lazy heifer, eh? The kid is
