I love playing games. One of my favorite things to do is have another couple over for dinner and then stay up late into the evening playing board games or cards at the table, with bowls of candy scattered around to munch on. I know. We bring the house. down. with our mad par-tay skilz.… Continue reading You Win Some…You Lose Some

The Upside of Pessimism
I tend to be a glass half empty kind of girl. Have you noticed? Pessimism has it’s advantages, believe it or not. Perhaps it would be more accurate to make that singular. As in advantage, because really, I can only think of one. I told you I was pessimist. The one advantage is that pessimists are never… Continue reading The Upside of Pessimism
It Does
It really shouldn’t work between us. He’s nonchalant, forgetful, and dawdling. I’m tightly-wound, organized, and detailed. He retreats when he’s angry. I can’t function without a thorough discussion. He knows the glass is half full. I focus on what’s missing. He squeezes toothpaste from the middle. I insist that from the bottom is the only… Continue reading It Does
A Word To The Wise
I’m contemplating starting potty training with Jayce. He’ll be 2-and-a-half on the 14th. In preparation I purchased my very first package of baby boy boxer briefs. They are a size 4 and I have to say that even the frilliest lace bottomed girl panties don’t compare with the cuteness factor of these things. I tried… Continue reading A Word To The Wise
Come. Be a Fly On My Wall.
Jeff said I should blog about all of the ways in which I am a freak. What are you talking about? Give me an example. I’m not going to deny my freak status. But I needed something to go on. General freakishness does not a blog topic make. Like, how you worry about things. Like… Continue reading Come. Be a Fly On My Wall.
In Which I’m Shamelessly Boastful
I’m tempted to start this post out with the following sentence: I don’t mean to brag, but… You all know what that means don’t ya? Uh-huh. So let’s just get right to it. And yes. I know that being boastful is ungodly. Forgive me just this once. The story is worth it. I hope so… Continue reading In Which I’m Shamelessly Boastful
Get an Umbrella; The Sky IS Falling
Yeah so Jeff was out of town for a business trip again this week. You may remember how during his past business trips I’ve had issues with the indigenous wildlife. This week has been no different. On Wednesday morning during our walk Jayce spotted a snake on the road in front of us. He pointed… Continue reading Get an Umbrella; The Sky IS Falling
On This Day In History
As I approached my 30th birthday I was a mess. I really can’t say why I was a mess either. All I can say for sure is that something about the departure of my twenties completely freaked me out. It may have a had a little something to do with the subtle changes in my… Continue reading On This Day In History
Another Year Bites the Dust
Jeff and I wrote our own vows. It was his idea. One that I was opposed to at first. But after giving it some thought I realized he was right. Nothing about our relationship was standard, so why should our vows be? Having already been divorced I felt like I had a slight advantage when it… Continue reading Another Year Bites the Dust
NFL = H E Double Hockey Sticks
My favorite month of the year is just around the corner. October. My favorite because with it comes crisp air, pumpkin bread, gorgeous fall leaves and the birthday of yours truly. Until a few years ago I wouldn’t have been able to think of a single bad thing about the month of October. My how things… Continue reading NFL = H E Double Hockey Sticks
Guest Blogger – Day 2
If you are reading today, then either you read my first installment and are a glutton for boredom, or you forgot that Darcie was gone and wanted to read whatever clever musings she was writing about today. For the latter group of you, I will apologize in advance and recommend that if you are going… Continue reading Guest Blogger – Day 2
Second String Blogger
As you all know, Darcie is out of town for the weekend, and so, being the good husband that she frequently brags about, I decided to step up and help her out with some blog content. Now, I hope you aren’t expecting any sort of literal genius – that’s my wife’s job. I’m more logical… Continue reading Second String Blogger
