missey candy!

so, i'm talking to my dad today... he tells me that he is fostering a new dog, candy. isn't she so cute? some mean person dropped her at the santa clara county humane society! can you imagine? she is 13 years old, but very spry. i'm thinking that candy needs to come live with daisy and i... what do you think? couldn't we all use a little bit more 'fro in our lives? besides, daisy is becoming a "daddy's girl". i drew a picture for the rocker at the melvins concert on his palm. and he … [Read more...]

near-earth asteroid?

last night during dinner, the rocker asked me: "did you hear about the asteroid that came within 26,500 miles of hitting the earth today?" WHAT? where the hell was i yesterday? how much news have i really been missing? so, i have investigated the story. apparently 2004 FH, was discovered on monday, and is only about 100 feet in diameter. an asteriod this size, if it actually hit the earth, would more than likely burn up in the atmosphere. it might break some windows on the ground, but … [Read more...]

couples therapy

after the big fight, i made a decision. the rocker and i don't know how to communicate. i think it can be a common problem. i mean, you take a guy and a girl, put them in a room, tell them something and odds are they heard two different things. i know the rocker and i are like that. and then, there is the problem with us both needing to be right. in every situation. we argued about which cream cheese he used for his bagel last week... we argued about side of the bed i was going to sleep … [Read more...]

i've been calling missey andrea on a regular basis to determine if she has had that bump yet. she was supposed to have the bump within 10 days of last wednesday. hmph. no baby. i'm so ready to meet this bump, and i have bump envy. i'm hoping that it will be a st. patty's day bump. wouldn't that be nice? … [Read more...]

the melvins, the taxes and the sabercats…

this weekend was uber busy! i can't believe how much i packed in! friday, i got home from work and i made dinner. neither the rocker or i could decide what we wanted to eat, so i decided to grill up the steaks i had, and i made nachos. granted, i only had sharp cheddar cheese and chips. no sour cream, no guacomole... but i did have salsa, so that's what i made. cheddar cheese nachos with steak. the rocker ate it up! it turned out much better than i expected! then, we went over to santa … [Read more...]

in and out like a flash

mom came home on sunday. she arrived while the rocker and i were at dinner at his brothers. when we got home, she was there. she had done the dishes we brought home from the baby shower on saturday. she cleaned up the kitchen. she took out the trash. all these things i simply didn't have time to do, she did. she even took back the outdated pineapple i got for my lunch from safeway. i had company in the evening (the rocker was given time to be at his house with his parents who were also … [Read more...]

is life better when you get what you asked for?

i decided that i didn't like the rocker using things i told him against me. he seems to do it more than i like so, i asked him to meet me at the house, and i said my peace. i told my boy that he was never allowed to say that my "mental stability" was a reason not to take our relationship farther. i told him that if he was having a problem with what was going on, he needed to own it. i think that is only fair. i mean really, blaming one another for our problems doesn't get anyone anywhere. … [Read more...]

the house

for the past few years, my dad has been trying to get me to buy him out of my parents house. i've not really wanted to... i don't see any reason to buy something that will be mine some day anyway. i mean really. i know it sounds wrong (thinking that my dad is going to die and i'm going to get the house), but after the stroke things are looking more that way. BUT, mom doesn't want dad to be on the property anymore. i can't say that i blame her. she is concerned that upon dad's death, dad's … [Read more...]
