On Tuesday night, Nature Boy and I were driving home around 11 pm after a little league baseball game. As we were driving down the main road that leads to our neighborhood, I noticed that the small ceiling fan store had a display ceiling fan spinning in the window. Of course the place was closed, as were [...]
Part 1 and Part 2
After the magical midnight make-out session, I figured I had a romantic relationship with Nature Boy in the bag. But back at work, he retreated to his cautious “we really shouldn’t be doing this” attitude. Not only did he have a problem with having a relationship one of his direct reports, [...]
Part 1 can be found here.
After the severe smackdown my pride had received from Nature Boy’s lack of reciprocation, I nursed my wounds for a short while, then began the task of making him love me. (There were no dead rabbits in stew pots involved, OK? Sheesh, you people watch too many movies.)
I continued the [...]
Four years ago (June 21st, 2005), I first met Nature Boy – during a job interview. As he interviewed me, I thought, “Wow, he’s really handsome, and look, no ring. Hmmmm.” The topic of kids came up, and I let him know that I didn’t want a job that required a lot of overtime, because [...]
Me: I’m a 41-year-old married working mother of two boys and three step-kids (see below). I am a big dork, and will do just about anything to get a laugh. I try to remain positive as much as possible, which is why I don’t watch the news. My family is the most important part of [...]

Her name is Coco, and she is an 8-week-old raccoon baby. Here is our story.
For several months, I’d been bugging my husband about getting a puppy. Remember the Shiba Inu puppy webcam? I was obsessed with those little furballs. They made me want [...]
Ever since I saw the first trailer for Land of the Lost, I’ve been so excited to see it. As a kid, I watched every single episode, and loved it. The Sleestaks scared the crap out of me, and I thought Will was hot (the dude in the old series, not Will Farrell). I was [...]
So, as soon as I published my last post about Miss M, she immediately started having contractions. Coincidence? I think not. It appears as if my writing has some sort of magical power. I don’t know if it’s only related to inducing labor, or if there are other ways I could use my gift. Only [...]
I’ve met my best friend only one time in person.
Miss M and I met on a message board for this workout program we were both doing. Her posts were always hilarious, and somehow we managed to exchange email addresses. I remember one of her very first emails contained this gem:
“Confucius say, go to bed with itchy [...]
