when did this happen

When we left the states for Germany they were fresh faced mouthy youngsters. Somehow they've morphed into teens in the past 12 months when I wasn't within arms reach of them. Thanks Twin! I thought you promised your boys would... Continue reading

some of what I've been up too lately

Soaking my foot twice daily for the umpteenth post sliver-of-ingrown-toe-removal. Such a messy little thing. Whipping out some new cute hair bits for friends. I was inspired by one my friend wore and needed a fun little summer style project.... Continue reading

my friends had to shave their pussy

Poor poor pussy. [Lest you assume animal cruelty: the vet did it after all her long hair got too matted to comb. Just another reason why my short haired indoor cat stays indoors.] Continue reading

Edit: Had to get up at 3a to pound some more drugs and drinks but overall a hair better than the night previously. Hall's cherry cough drops were one of the best inventions ever! I normally abhor the things and... Continue reading

No twin, Thank you! I just uttered the words: I can't talk or I'll vomit and not cause I'm nausous but that whole coughgagpee thing. He said 'don't worry about it.' Sure cause you like the silence sometimes. Punk.

ain't all its cracked up to be

I have somehow contracted the plague. Okay, that may sound a little overdramatic. Next I will have you thinking that I'm licking leprousy patients and tickling the chicken pox kids. I actually managed to catch mom's bronchial disease she's been... Continue reading

What can I say I'm a sucker for happy titles, ruining suprises, letting the cat out of the bag, predictable physicians and my favorite: therapy. I went to the doctor because I have a small tailor's buinion that has been... Continue reading
