People are supposed to be depressed on the holidays, right?

There was always a big family gathering for the holidays while I was growing up. The fact that most of the family didn’t exactly like each other (long story) made said holidays interesting. To say the least.I remember escaping to my room a lot, not necessarily because I wasn’t having fun, but because, at fourteen, [...]

I realize this makes me insane.

On Wednesday, the Husband and I will lose our minds and decide to leave town along with thousands of other people who have also made that same decision.
Together, with our new found thousands of friends, we’ll sit on the 91 freeway for eight hours to drive a total of six miles. Sometime Friday, we’ll all [...]

I have migraines on the brain. Ha. Get it?

Yes, it’s true. I suffer from migraines. And, before you ask, yes, I know the difference between headaches and migraines thank you very much.
Luckily I don’t get them often, but when I do, I’m out for the count. Just after the Husband and I moved in together, I came down with a migraine and he [...]

And now I have no readers.

Last week, I finally convinced the Husband that we could not go on living without a new bed. We need a new bed. It’s crucial to our marriage that we have a new bed. Like yesterday.
Because if I have to wake up throughout the night to feel him moving all about, I’m going to kill [...]

I needed something pretty.

I just left a meeting so boring…

…I had to refrain myself from slitting my wrists with the wide-ruled notebook paper I wrote upon.

It wouldn’t do to spill blood all over my notes.

Scone. Singular.

I made a scone last night.
That’s right. Just one.
I knew if I made the whole batch, well… I’d eat the whole batch.
Unfortunately, in my attempt to divide the recipe, I ran into tough mathematical equations like five divided by eight. Which, by the way, equals .625 and that would be how many tablespoons of butter?!

And [...]

Hot

Taking a step outside my front door, you’d never think there was anything out of the ordinary happening. Another beautiful southern California sky.

That is, until you look to the right.

These fires are wreaking havoc all over my home town. In the past, I’ve felt detached from fires in the LA area. Although I’m just an [...]

Hershey what?

I bet you’re wondering what’s in the bag. Aren’t ya? I knew it. You’re as curious as I am.
I dragged the Husband to the mall with me on Monday. For no good reason other than a pressing need to visit the new Leonidas Chocolate Café.

They have an amazing display of chocolates, all too pretty to [...]

The most important only thing I’ve learned in five years.

The Husband is not a mind reader.
So, three weeks before The Anniversary, I said, “Honey, I’d like you to send me flowers. At work. On the Friday before our anniversary. Thank you.”
Later, I made a slight change, which I hoped wouldn’t confuse him. “Honey, I’ve changed my mind. I’d like you to send me a [...]

When the Husband says it’s him or the cats, I choose the cats.
