You know that feeling like you left something behind? Or there was something you were supposed to do? Or you walk into a room and forget what you walked in there for? Yeah. That. My first day back at work after the holiday, I overslept egregiously. Mind you, I like to sleep in, but rarelyContinue reading “Getting organizized in 2013”

You don’t know what you have until it’s gone
Unless you don’t know it’s missing in the first place. The most recent episode of Brothers and Sisters featured U2’s “Running to Stand Still.” I sang along a little bit and thought, “I love this song, I should listen to The Joshua Tree.“ But when I checked my iPod, I did not have The JoshuaContinue reading “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone”
When I was your age
These kids today, I tell ya. When I was 16 and I fought with my boyfriend – which was, like, a lot – I’d go out with my girlfriends, and hope that maybe we’d meet up at some point with the guys and he could see how much fun I was having without him, orContinue reading “When I was your age”
The way to a man’s heart
To attend my mother’s wedding, Rob had to work an 12-hour overnight shift the previous Sunday, followed by his regular 8-hour shift Monday. Then he traveled with me on Thursday, listened to his iPod during the brief rehearsal and regaled my mother’s friends with fart and ass jokes during the rehearsal dinner. Friday, he wanderedContinue reading “The way to a man’s heart”
Why Rob’s not so crazy about me
I have an iguana named Stew. Rob is not as fond of Stew as he is Isis. No kisses, no rubs to the belly. He insists Stew is a boy, but I’ve decided she’s definitely a girl. Rob doesn’t even like to touch Stew, who lives in his computer room because it was the bestContinue reading “Why Rob’s not so crazy about me”
Another reason I love Rob
He took me to see Weird Al for my birthday, even though he’s not a huge fan. (Neither of those is the reason. The first was a boyfriendly obligation as far as I was concerned, and I knew that he would enjoy the show more than he thought he would.) Al closed with a littleContinue reading “Another reason I love Rob”
5th Bloggiversary
This is a big day. I’m taking the day off to celebrate. Not because I worked Monday-Saturday last week, but because my little blog is 5 years old! Five years ago, plus a day or so, I returned to Prague from a trip home to learn that Chelsea had started a blog. I believe herContinue reading “5th Bloggiversary”
Motel living
I may be onto something here. I found it very easy, two days in a row, to wake up when the alarm went off at 7, get dressed and arrive early to an 8:30 training. At home, it’s nearly impossible to get out of bed on the first try. Even after I’ve gotten up, takenContinue reading “Motel living”
Cleaning house
As I have described, one of my recurring dreams is about packing to move, and not having enough time. Last night, I had the dream, only this time Rob was behind schedule too. Not only were we running out of time, but we didn’t have enough room in our bags. “I need another bag orContinue reading “Cleaning house”
Slow learner
Isis does not seem to be deterred by any of the training techniques we’ve tried to get her to mouth softly. She’s still teething, but the pup doesn’t know her own strength. She doesn’t bite out of aggression, but sometimes she gets very excited and wants to chew on our hands or feet. Mostly Rob’s.Continue reading “Slow learner”
