Needs hypnotism…will travel
December 30th, 2005

Well, I just finished my morning run with T, where we solved many dating problems (for her and our friends) and were convinced we had all the answers. Now I’m home again, where my relationship is hogging the bed and isn’t making the coffee for the fifth time this week. Heh! That’ll show me!
99% of […]

Late night insanity
December 30th, 2005

I am losing my mind. And no this is not wedding trauma. In the past, let’s say six months, I have lost my grandmother’s diamond and platinum wedding band, which I have had for about ten years without so much as placing it in the wrong box. And apparently between Thursday night and today, I […]

One track mind
December 29th, 2005

Wow, I have gotten NO WORK accomplished in THREE DAYS! How amazingly unproductive of me. But while typing out guest lists and potential first songs and bridesmaid lists and flower choices, I keep admiring the way my ring flashes in the fluorescent light. So pretty.
I am helpless but to obey the power of the One […]

Sparkly: Short Version
December 26th, 2005

Friday morning, A.S. and I decided to go for a walk in the woods at Dixie Plantation. It was a gorgeous day, warm and sunny, and my first time off since he’s been in town. We tramped through the fallen leaves and watched as the dogs gamboled up the path ahead of us, frisking around […]

Sparkly: Long Version
December 26th, 2005

So Friday morning, A.S. asked me if I would like to go the beach. Imagining my neighbor’s beastly cur dog, which I am sitting for while the Sexy Attorney is in Guatemala, streaking down the beach, disrupting a dozen family picnics and causing a violent upheaval amongst the villagers, who would attack with pitchforks and […]

X-Mas = Xanax
December 20th, 2005

If you had stuck a fork in my eyeball on Saturday, it would have been the nicest thing that happened to me all day.
I had to go to the MALL (shudder), which was completely filled with short old people, with giant perms shellacked to withstand gale force winds. They surrounded me in the Belk’s men’s […]

So…Much…Blood
December 13th, 2005

Don’t you just luuurve it when doctors actually show concern for your ailments? Rather than nodding, mumbling and writing you a potentially useless prescription, I like it when they raise eyebrows, ask questions and make appropriately sympathetic noises. Well, my doctor was VERY dismayed that I had been sick for 38 or so days and […]

The Dog and I…
December 11th, 2005

…are sitting on my newly upholstered couch watching Two Towers and lusting after Aragorn. Well, I know am. She’s just tending to her personal hygiene, which leads me to believe she is also.
Why does Liv Tyler speak in this dramatic whisper for the entire trilogy? I love her, and she’s a hot elf, but she […]

The Blog of Ingratitude
December 10th, 2005

Here was my Christmas list this year:
The Silver Spoon cookbook
Black dress coat
iPod armband
Christmas ornaments
Aveda makeup products
Brush pants for hunting
Here is what my mom will actually get me from that list:
NOTHING
She asks for and receives a specific Christmas list from me every year, and then I guess she rolls it up and smokes it, because every […]

I’m touching his present right now…
December 9th, 2005

After picking up groceries for our cheapass potluck holiday work party, and immediately before racing off to my former English teacher’s Christmas party with the awful hors d’oeuvres and jug wine, I popped into my new favorite store, Knit (www.knitk.com). I’ve been meaning to go in for ages, but it’s always closed by the time […]
