Now I’m Scared

Despite our united front to get the necessary crap done to get the house ready to sell, Hubby and I are still at odds about what to do afterward.
We’re not yelling at each other anymore but we aren’t really talking about it either.  I think I prefer the former…at least we were communicating.
On top of [...]

Stepping Back

Over the last two days Hubby and I have become keenly aware that pillow talk about what we could do with the equity from the sale of the house has no bearing on the reality of actually having to prepare to sell it.
We’ve had to step back from what to do after it’s sold to [...]

24 hours, 2 fights

Okay, so it’s not as easy as it looks…whatever that means.
Why is it when faced with the opportunity
To finally do what we’ve always talked about
Do we end up yelling at each other?
Though separate entities, our roots are intertwined
Hard to decipher between what’s ours, yours and mine
We have only familiar to guide us, we are too [...]

The Verdict Is In

While we had a lovely weekend at the cabin…

and Hubby had fun with the camera…

…that’s my butt and the pants say PRINCESS…
The reality of our situation hit us pretty hard this afternoon.
The truth is, Hubby could easily go out and get another IT job and we could just keep on going the way we have [...]

Proof That I’m a Tad Odd

Hubby got laid off this morning.  The company he works for has been downsizing for a couple months now but so far there had been no talk of Hubby’s position being at risk.
No talk maybe, but apparently some closed door planning.  Anyway, the following phone conversation demonstrates how very nonchalant we both are about it.
Hubby: [...]

It’s Kind of A Long Story

A cyberfriend recently commented
And vowed to explain on her blog
Isn’t that the claim, don’t we all share the same
How we got here, baring our souls
In piecemeal segments, in our tirades
In our semi-regular verbal parades
Where we delve, uncover and reveal
Our hearts and souls piecemeal
It’s kind of a long story
Is what most of us say when asked [...]

My Very Own Bad Ass

He was fourteen when he begged us to let him dye his hair blue
I thought to myself, it’s just a stage he’s going through (yes, we let him)
Two years later when he asked what we thought of the ring in his brow
I thought to myself, oh crap…what am I going to do now?
Not long after [...]

It Occured to Me

As I was doing some tidying up today, I found a stack of greeting cards that were left over from Easter, Mother’s Day and our Anniversary.
Now some might find it offensive but I don’t keep these things, I toss them.  For years I kept greeting cards until one day I realized that I needed a [...]

For Cate and Kirsten – Part Two

Okay ladies, you asked for it!

There I am!  Hubby took that pic less than two hours ago.
Do you guys notice the difference the hair makes or is it that I’m actually smiling?

For Cate – Part One

It’s not like it didn’t occur to me to post a pic of the new haircut but I didn’t feel any rush.  That is, until my mate Cate asked for one.  Awww shucks.
Like I replied to her in the comments, getting an after pic will be easy it would be finding a before pic that [...]
