Well, hey.
More and more, I keep forgetting about this space. Before long the 10 people who read this will too. I guess this is what happens to all of us when we age. We forget stuff. Especially unimportant stuff.
My birthday was nice. I think my husband read my post so he knew he needed to step to the plate and give me an actual card for the day. I spent the day with my mother. We had lunch, did my annual bra shopping and picked up the kids and did homework. My husband gave me a knife sharpener as a gift. Nothing says romance like a knife sharpener. If he really thought about this gift in a clear light he would realize that after sharpening my kitchen knives to a fine point precision, I might actually stab him 427 times for being so romantic with this gift. In the end he did have my wedding ring fixed by adding a chunk of metal to it so I can wear it again. It seems almost 13 years later, I've started to grow a nice pair of man hands. My wedding set didn't fit any longer. For this, I put the knives away.
Moira gave me a very sweet portrait for my birthday. The only time I've worn a dress since my wedding day.
I've had another kid down with the sickness. or is it the same kid? different week? I'm losing count.
Don't you love how I'll let the girls wear just about anything in public? Stripes? Pants with skirts over them? Peeshaw! We are total fashion mavens around these parts.
I'm still obsessed with Candy Crush Saga and can't figure out how everyone is moving past me in Speed Racer form. Like my husband is about to kick my ass in his movement. THIS I can't handle.
I'm so glad the Bachelor is almost over because I simply can't handle this show any longer. I can't stand this dipwad and the choices he's made. Hurry up and pick the chick you are going to dump 12-weeks later because you have completed your contractual obligations. Have you noticed the complete narcissic giddiness he displays when he takes his shirt off? I don't think there has been one episode in which his shirt has stayed on for the entire show. I mean, dude, I manage to keep my shirt on during my hometown visits.
A new show I'm OBSESSED with is LA Shrinks on Bravo. I love it! Mainly because the show validates every reason why I didn't persue my Doctorate in Counseling. In a word (okay, phrase) - people are crazy. I do have to say, I can totally relate to the woman who screams and yells "Fuck you, you Motherfucker!" in her car. She seems to have a few anger issues. Sister, don't we all. We're just living the dream. Livin' the dream.
Right now, I'm finishing up a wedding and planning on an upcoming ski trip in which I don't have a stitch of ski clothing for my family. We leave in less than two weeks. Have a I mentioned that we've never been skiing? Well, Rich has but the girls and I haven't. No worries here on the injury portion of skiing for me. I'll be tucked safe and warm in the local bar. Drinking away any anxiety of someone running into a tree and killing themselves. I better up everyone's life insurance. and take a shit-ton of Xanax with me.
Hahahaha! I just posted for the first time in over a month.
I always read, even if I don't always comment.

Funny I don't notice people not posting because of Google Reader.
Also the knife sharpener cracked me up. He better be on his best behavior!

Ski trips are always better spent in the bar. Or the lodge. Never on the mountain. That shit is hard on the knees.
I wake up every morning to a nice set of man hands - for some reason my hands swell at night. They're more normal by midmorning, but my rings still don't fit, because I've gained 15 pounds since I got the things. Oh well. Maybe someday I'll get the engagement ring resized. The wedding ring was bought from a street vendor in Key West, and can't possibly be resized...but maybe in 10 more years, my fingers will be fat enough to wear the one that's too big for my husband's skinny fingers?
Candy Crush Saga is all the rage around my workplace - I can't figure out how people are speeding by me either. I'm writing it off to luck, and not skill. And that level 64 or whatever it is SUCKS! It took me forever to get past it! So annoying! And yet I can't stop playing. Also, I spent Sunday evening and half of Monday impatiently waiting for people to JUST LOG IN ALREADY BECAUSE I FINALLY MADE IT PAST THAT LEVEL AND I NEED A TRAIN TICKET!!!! I think it's safe to say that I'm mildly obsessed too. Pet Rescue Saga is just as addictive, FYI. Puzzle Saga, however, is awesome, because I beat all the levels that they had. So, if you'd like to start playing that one and bring all your friends, they'd probably make new levels for me to play. :) God, I really need to get a life! One that doesn't involve Facebook games!
A knife sharpener? Well, ya know, I wouldn't object if someone bought me one, but I would immediately wonder about their sanity. Knife sharpeners just don't say Happy Birthday!

Oh yeah - that's a great drawing. And a great outfit. Looks like some girls have inherited some artistic talent from somewhere...

Enjoy the ski trip for me. I am a complete ski coward- lived in Colorado for nine years total and never went, not even once, preferring to be the person who fixes Irish coffees and grilled cheese sandwiches for those coming off the slopes.
This provides endless amusement for my daughter, who still lives there and learned to ski despite parents who never ever took her to the slopes while growing up.
I hope you have an amazing time. You deserve it. The views from the resort bars can be pretty good.

I love that Rich gave you a knife sharpener for your birthday. It's like he's DARING you. Also, happy birthday, if you're into that kind of thing.
I haven't been skiing since I was too young too drink; therefore, I did not enjoy it. I wouldn't worry too much about anyone hitting a tree, as I think it takes at least two seasons before you spend more time upright than you do struggling to stand up after falling on your ass. At least that was my experience.

I still read your posts! Re: your birthday gift... My husband is still a bit peeved at me because (in addition to a card and chocolate) I bought him a toaster. He said that when he opened it he thought, "What the F***!" Oops, guess I failed on that one. In all fairness, he once bought me a cookie jar as a gift. The hell?

Candy Crush is ruling my life right now. I'm stuck on level 35... you?
Posted by: Becka | 06 March 2013 at 12:02 AM

I check you everyday for a new post. I like to know how you and your family are doing. Happy Belated Birthday, and enjoy that knife sharpener. My husband gave me a box of Valentine's candy for my birthday, which was January 5th. Along with a little book of cat poetry with the $5 Walgreen's tag still stuck to it. AWESOME!!!!

I'm still reading. I have some ski clothes, including kid stuff, if you need it. Just across town.

Hi! I read all the time, but I don't think I've ever commented.
A knife sharpener. That's pretty...swell, I guess?
Posted by: Kelly | 07 March 2013 at 01:22 PM
A knife sharpener? I have known you for far less time than Rich and I know lots of things that would have been much better than a knife sharpener. I haven't even ever met you in person! I asked for a sewing machine, we'll see if I get it since my husband got laid off on Tuesday. I am really sorry he spent all of that money on my surprise party now. Gah! He is happy that he can farm full-time now, I am anxious and worried about how we will survive. I just hope it puts him in a better mood. I might have to go back to work.
I love it when you post and by the looks of things, a few more than 10 do too.

Nice post. I find out some thing far more difficult on unique blogs everyday. It's going to often be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice just a little some thing from their store. I'd prefer to make use of some with the content on my blog whether you don't mind. Natually I'll provide you with a link on your web weblog. Thanks for sharing.

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each and every time a comment is added I get 4 emails using the exact same comment. Is there any way you're able to take away me from that service? Thanks!
