Salt in my wounds.

This past Saturday was gorgeous. It was sunny and wonderfully warm. The Husband and I drove up to Huntington Beach to have lunch and enjoy the weather. Of course, so did everyone else. Including Tito Ortiz and his posse. (Do they still call it that?) They sat at a table a couple feet away from [...]

UPDATED: I don’t know why I need to know… I just do.

Updated to add my own responses… which are in blue.
I am curious… about many things… but today? I’m narrowing it down to just a couple. Specifically you, your blogs, and your comments. And why you do what you do.
I read a few blogs- 38 (to be exact) that I try to stay up-to-date with. I [...]

The last twelve days of my life gone forever.

March 12: Borrow Twilight from J. Read first 30 pages. It was supposed to be a distraction. It would suffice. Meh.
March 13: Next hundred pages gone. Starting to become intrigued.
March 14: Husband returns from self-imposed week of solitary confinement. We spend a relaxing evening in. Another two hundred pages read while he watches college basketball. [...]

Me: I have writer’s block. Give me something to talk about. The Husband: How much you hate this time of year of college basketball – MARCH MADNESS and frickin’ Cal State Northridge is beating Memphis right now – CRAZY!

I don’t know what that means exactly, but that’s the e-mail I received back from The Husband so I’m running with it.
This is certainly an interesting time of year for us. Nearly every sport imaginable is in full swing. Basketball, both college and pro, NASCAR, Tiger Woods golf, baseball (wait, has that started yet?)… Basically, [...]

One month in the making and now the real work begins.

Just over a month ago, I left for my sister’s home in southern Utah. It was there that I finally confronted the fact that The Husband had lied to me. And not for the first time. I didn’t understand it. I was confused, hurt, angry… and desperately hoping I had misunderstood something. Surely this couldn’t [...]

And if I have to remarry someday, I hope it’s to one of you.

When I said I had nothing to say, it was a lie. The truth is, I had too much to say and no way to say it. Until I finally started typing. And then I couldn’t stop. And my last three posts have basically said the same thing over and over again… and, I have [...]

In which I use the F word a lot and I’m not sorry.

It turns out the positive effects of my tearful purge didn’t last as long as I’d hoped. Tears are threatening again and I’m desperate to talk to anyone who will listen just so I can clear my head of all the thoughts I can’t shut the fuck up.
But trying to actually say the words… out [...]

Blogging: not much of a distraction after all.

People shouldn’t be allowed to marry so young. In fact, I think everyone, as soon as they finish school, should be forced out into the world to experience life on their own.
I will never regret any decisions I’ve made, but maybe if I’d waited, then it wouldn’t feel as if every single memory I have [...]

An example of why not everyone should be allowed to blog.

It’s amazing what a good, long crying jag will do for you. Not only will it produce a headache the likes of which I haven’t experienced since, well, two Saturday’s ago (after a Friday spent making friends with too many margaritas), but it will also make you feel totally amazing. Well, as amazing as one [...]

The one in which I talk about something else.

Years and years ago, I went to visit my sister and her eight million kids at their home in southern Utah. On the day I left to return home, the morning was so beautiful, I couldn’t help but stop along the way out to snap a few photos.
And, yes, I realize it was really only [...]
