A Friday in Brown County

Posted on October 19, 2013 by joey

I must have needed some Rumpelstiltskin-like sleep last night. I woke up late enough to look at a second clock. I still drank coffee and ate shredded wheat, even though it really was time for lunch. You see, we spent … Continue reading →

Sleeping on the Job

Posted on October 4, 2013 by joey

Posted on September 27, 2013 by joey

The Mister and I enjoyed a plate of chocolate chip cookies for breakfast. There are four left. They are the crunchy-edged, undesirable cookies. We’ll let the girls eat those when they get home from school BECAUSE THEY ARE WHY WE … Continue reading →

I am a nature geek. My mother is a nature geek, so I am, too. But I hate yellow jackets. I don’t mind spiders and snakes. I move most spiders outdoors. My rule is that if the spider has eyes … Continue reading →

On Drama and Deformity

Posted on September 17, 2013 by joey

Maybe some of you have never experienced any sorta psychic mumbo-jumbo like I have, but I bet some of you have. Sometimes it’s a feeling, or a sight, or a sound, but it’s always a knowing. Knowing happens in such … Continue reading →

But I Broke Up with It Thirteen Years Ago!

Posted on September 15, 2013 by joey

I live in an area of the city (and I do mean IN THE CITY) where my internet choices are only two; satellite, or the local cable provider — which has a name similar to Cuntass, or Failfast, or Bombast? … Continue reading →

Home, Almost Sweet, Home

Posted on August 22, 2013 by joey

I’ve never had to clean a house to live in it. I’ve always been lucky in this regard. I’m most familiar with the “wipe out and wipe down” technique before placing my items, but this house is much more labor … Continue reading →

Posted on August 20, 2013 by joey

We’re adjusting to our new schedule, and it’s been, well, an adjustment. It sorta sucks to adjust, doesn’t it? And when you’re moving, and you know you’ll have to adjust all over again, it makes you a little less adjust-y, … Continue reading →
