I’m all…  bleh today. The air conditioner isn’t cooling the whole house so I had to block off the kitchen doorway – which improved things a lot but now the kitchen and bathroom are stifling and I can’t work up the energy to get in the tub.  Isn’t that awful?  Added to it I don’t

I have nothing worthwhile to say today.  I’m tired. Worn out.  Sunburned to the lobster point. Quite spacey. Dehydrated a bit.  Achy.  Unfit company for intelligent human beings. I’ll share some pics, though This is Lake Michigan. We rode along the lake for a bit yesterday on our 5 hour bike ride.

I have been so stupidly busy the past four days or so.  Nothing big or super time consuming but lots of little stuff.  Multiple important converstions going on at once, trying to organize my week and my house, the usual Teen issues and “take care of the family” issues that take up time.  Dogs and

So last year (there I go, doing it again.  I start so many blog posts with “so…”. It’s like I was in the middle of a conversation with y’all, got distracted and came right back to it like I never stopped. Heh) Anyhow.  Last year, Taylor saw some guy giving away a shed on Craigslist

(Were you humming along with the title?  I was.) Taylor and I were talkin’ this morning.  I was telling him about a blog I read and how I used to get all insecure when I read it, like I wasn’t doing it as “right” as this person was.  How even when they had struggles it

So today I dug all the weeds out of my garden — which I didn’t plant anything in last year so it had a years worth of weeds in it — and threw down some mulch and planted some seeds in those nifty little dome things in the kitchen.  Shortly I will have tomatoes and

Leonidas is my dog.  You’ve all seen pics of my (rather large) puppy, right?   Well, yesterday, I got my new Hello Kitty! vibrator from Babeland.                I turned it on and Leonidas came prancing over to see what it was.  So I touched his nose with it.  And

  Yeah, I got some.  In fact, I slept until nearly one in the afternoon today.  But why, you may ask, when I went to bed at like….  oh…  NINE last night?   In a word — Taylor. See, I’m out of ambien.  This is a huge bummer because I’m a chronic insomniac (and have

Holy crap.  It’s been a strangely busy couple of days for me.  I feel like I’ve been moving non-stop!  The reality is more like my brain has been moving non-stop. Between the insurance snafu that I had to spend an hour on the phone dealing with this morning and the shopping yesterday and the uploading

Grocery shopping stresses me out. Not the actual shopping bit.  Picking out the food is sorta fun.  But then?  You have to unload the cart.  Bag the food.  Put the bags in your cart.  Take the bags out of the cart and put them in the car.  Take them out of the car.  Trudge them

…got nothin’.  Except a picture of Taylor with the “puppy” for y’all who have been keeping track of him. He’s nine months old on Monday… …and he still thinks he’s a lap dog and Taylor still encourages him and he’s nearly as freaking tall as I am when he stands on his hind legs and

That’s me today. Totally mopey and full of fret. Taylor and our buddy Dave are out riding and I didn’t even want to go with them. Part of it, I’m sure, is the spring weather.  Sure, there are nice, sunny days where you just want to rejoice.  But there is also rain.  And gloom.  And

I should have oodles to say. In fact, I DO have oodles to day. I just have no energy. Or Redbull. I spent Saturday cleaning the house from top to bottom. I’m talking washing woodwork, scrubbing floors, non stop cleaning. (Not that it’ll last. Between the pets and the factory a few blocks over I

We’ve got a busy weekend coming up; celebrating a friend’s birthday tonight and a play party tomorrow.  I’m not totally out of winter hibernation mode so part of me is like “yay!” and part of me keeps saying ‘meh. I dun wanna leave the house”. We’ll have fun, of course, and I’ll be glad to

So after a Teen free week, life is back to normal. Back to grabbing a robe before I get up to make coffee.  Back to tucking the princess satchel back into my room rather than leaving it out.  Back to not forgetting to put the toys away when I’m done with them.  And back to

Laundry done. Curtains washed and rehung. Bedding washed and bed remade. Bedroom dusted and vacuumed. Living room dusted and vacuumed. Dishes done. Kitchen wiped down. Dinner defrosting. Check. Check. Check. I’m fucking exhausted.

It’s supposed to actually be springlike around here the next few days. Can YOU say hallelujah?  I can. It’s the middle of April and the weather has been utterly depressing.  Even for Wisconsin, where spring is always iffy.   Taylor is working tomorrow so I’m totally going to throw open the windows and clean. ________________________

So I had a real post all thought up the other day and… Totally forgot what I wanted to talk about. My brain isn’t working a whole lot better today.  Today I have an excuse, though. Grocery shopping.  Grocery shopping always leaves me feeling somewhat stressed out and brain dead.  Something about putting all that

talked about the puppy lately?  No?  Well.  He’s seven months old tomorrow and about 70 pounds. He still thinks he’s a lap dog, though. And Taylor encourages him. (Though, admittedly, he only leaps up on Taylor like that, not the rest of us) It’s pathetically cute, really. A real post coming later. :)

So I straightened and vacuumed the living room, wiped down the kitchen, got most of the laundry started… Taylor is at the garage working on the bike… I’m bored. There are a ton of things I could do but I just don’t feel like it. I hate days like this. I woke up before I wanted

Kaya wrote a post today that has me thinking. (She actually wrote a couple posts this week that have me thinking.  Sitting down to write my thoughts just ain’t been happening – but the thoughts are there none-the-less.) She followed up on her blog post with a FetLife post, as well. Curious? I’ll go make

I”m not much of a fan of morning sex. Don’t get me wrong.  Every time we have morning sex, I’m in heaven all day.  I just loahte waking up.  I don’t wake up well.  Someone touching me when I’m waking up makes me want to kill them; stab them right thru the eye with the

Taylor is thiiiiiiiiis close to having the bike put back together and running for the season and, guess what? They’re forcasting snow for Saturday and Tuesday.   Whiskey Tango Foxtrot????? Wisconsin sometimes sucks ass. ——————————- I told Taylor to shut up this morning and had a damned fit over absolutely nothing. There are times I

…Boom boom boom. ____________________________________ I got this thing in the mail today.  A pamphlet and coupon thing from Glade.  For their new… Ahem… Fragrance Collection. Cuz, you know, the rest of their stuff doesn’t have fragrance or anything. *blinkblink* What is with the people running advertising and marketing these days?  Have you seen that t.v. commercial

Bunch of hooplah over on FetLife.  What’s new, right?   I’m extremely stressed out over the constant slavier-than-thou bullshit I see all over the place. I’m not a fucking slave, god damn it.  I don’t have to behave the way you do, the way the folks in Laura Antoniou’s books do or the way Master Meatmeister
