My Life Lately…A Tale of GIFs, Part 3

May 2, 2013

  When I had my first alcoholic beverage in over a year on a rather empty stomach…   When someone who shall remain nameless says something rather ignorantly racist at dinner and I want to make sure that I’m not judged as approving of what the other individual says…   When I had the audacity [...]

The Mister is out of town until tomorrow morning and that means I have the girls overnight by myself.  I had my mom stay with me the last time this happened, but I need to learn to do it on my own.  Bedtime last night was acceptable.  Girls woke up once overnight.  Also acceptable.  I [...]

An Unknown Territory

April 29, 2013

I have several irrational fears.  It’s one of my quirks.  It also allows me to be so charmingly self-deprecating.  There’s something so fun about a person who can have fun at her own expense.  This is probably why I can’t stand people who take themselves too seriously. One of my biggest irrational fears has to [...]

I left my phone in the car this morning. I hate that I’m so attached to something so insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but dammit I am.  The twenty minutes I spent looking for it got me all kinds of worked up.  It’s like when Sheldon forgot his flashdrive on The Big Bang Theory and [...]

The Extreme Me

April 24, 2013

About a year ago a new show came on TLC that has nothing to do with learning. No surprise there. But the show was entertaining in a weird way.  The show isn’t Honey Boo Boo.  It isn’t Cake Boss.  It’s… Extreme Couponing. Now, I couldn’t tear myself away from on demand episodes of this show [...]

My Call to Join the Movement

April 22, 2013

There are many of us that are part of communities that too often fall prey to societal norms.  I’m sure if you think about it, you can count at least five of them to which you belong.  Some of them are bigger than others like race, class, gender and so on.  Some of them are [...]

At Least It’s An Ethos…

April 18, 2013

(This post’s imagery is brought to you by The Big Lebowski which I used to hate but have come to kind of love because of The Mister.) One of the reasons that I’m thankful I grew up with the parents I have is their proven ability to introduce me to good music early in life. [...]

Songs of My Life: You Got It

April 17, 2013

Without knowing it, two years ago I was writing the first part of this blog post.  When I had my first miscarriage nine weeks into the pregnancy with the identical twins, I had lost faith in a great many things.  But the one thing I never doubted was my need for music.  After the worst news imaginable [...]

Songs in My Head

April 15, 2013

I have had ideas for music related posts lately and decided to crunch them all together in one big gobbledygook of a week here at PCL we (I) like to call (really creatively, mind you) Music Week 2013.  Today, I present you with a random regular feature around these parts, Songs in My Head. The [...]

It’s nonstop rain here in Michigan.  In fact, the other day when I checked the weather, weather.com predicted rain for yesterday and today at 100%.  That’s how sure they were that it was going to rain…the weather people, who can never get it right, predicted 100%.  That’s ballsy to be sure.  Later in the day [...]
