I was saying goodbye to Emma, in that cutesy coupley way, when she reached down and cupped my junk.  "Mine" she said.  I answered "Yup.  But the rest of me comes with.  It's a package deal."

Today's thunderstorms have driven maddy under my desk, to quiver until she exhausts herself. She'll live, she always does, but I feel so bad for her. I can't tell her she's safe; all I can do is cuddle her until she believes ( Read more... )

So I've dropped soda from my diet for May, and I have never been so hungry ALL the time. I'm waking up ravenous, eating all damn day, and I'm still losing weight. Three pounds might be a normal variation but I usually range from 165 to 170. Stepping on Emma's scale and showing 162 was a shock. I broke part of that diet today to have a cup of ( Read more... )

I realized a couple of days ago, when the BritBrunchers were commenting on my late late ( Read more... )

So, I generally need two days off in a row before I'll clean house, or start any real projects. Weekends make sense that way; Saturday you waste just so you can remember /why/ being idle is dissatisfying, and then Sunday you get things done. Maybe not /all/ the things, and maybe you have a nice long nap right in the middle, but that's nice. It's ( Read more... )

I have no real idea where to start this story; but I guess the beginning is simple ( Read more... )

The republicans and the tea partiers have, once again, successfully imposed their will, a minority's will, on the political process and pushed the president into a compromise that is most-instead-of-all they wanted, instead of one where where both sides get some of what they want ( Read more... )

Huh. something my girl said to her mother made her call me conserative. In the political sense. ...Scary and Odd. :)
