I am up late having a rather obnoxious battle with insomnia. This literally never happens to me. I always sleep. I have a regular appointment to keep with my dreams. But tonight I’m being eaten alive and my eyes won’t even shut. You ever think much about humiliation? About that red hot flush you feel at first when it dawns on you that you’re at the short end of a stick of some kind, and…
People who call you out for having low self-confidence/esteem are often the same people who will behave in ways toward you that make you question your self-worth.
Like this screed about the “fringe” element of our society known as intactivists and how they have taken over the internet to the degree that you can’t find good pro-circ science online anymore without doing some digging. Are you kidding me? Lumping people who don’t see a need for compulsory infant circumcision in with people who are anti-vax? Dude. Just … no. And this: To intactivists, mutilation is mutilation; what does it matter if it’s…
Remember this guy? I will tell you a story and it will make you sad. Ray called me at work Wednesday afternoon and was out of breath. We played phone tag for a few minutes since my new desk (we moved workstations this week) is in a black hole and drops calls. When I finally got him on my work phone, here is the story that unfolded: He and Holden were heading out, when Ray…
I’m thinking about those twenty empty bedrooms and I can’t stop crying. ••• My house is empty. Just me and the cats. Everyone told me to come home and hug the boy tighter than ever, and I would have, but he’s a couple of hours east of here with his daddy visiting his grandma. I’ll see him tomorrow and I’ll scoop him up and he’ll squeal and wiggle because he loves his mama and I…
I hate to break down and have a “back in my day” rant over something so trivial, but I am pissed. Adults are ruining Halloween. Don’t even get me started on the idiotic “sexy X” costumes that have pretty much taken over the pre-fab options for women. Of course, I’m annoyed that every costume is pre-fab anyway. What ever happened to making your own damn costume? Or doing something you can’t just buy in a bag?…
QUICK VENT! This is what they do at 6:30 or 7 a.m. every morning … for hours and hours: neighbor dogs who won’t let us sleep from Lindsey Turner on Vimeo. And then again a few hours later. Or whenever they’re bored. Which is a lot since they are just hanging out in the courtyard, which is mere feet from our bedroom window, all day and night, seemingly every day and night for the past…
I’m going to start locking selected posts. If you’d like the password, shoot me a note via the three billion ways you can contact me (many of which are listed on the contact page above).
Working nights sucks on its own, but then you have to contend with the fact that society gives no shit that 8 a.m. is your 4 a.m. rude awakening from Lindsey Turner on Vimeo. Yes, I am 80 and don’t know the difference between rap and hip-hop. Shut up.
Lazy Saturday before work. I made a test batch of sex-reveal cupcakes (note: get chocolate cake mix instead of yellow, and find something much lighter and tastier than sour Mike and Ike’s pieces for the inside) and opened mail to find out that my insurance has rejected my out-of-network exception request for my midwife. That seriously sucks. Their reason for the rejection is that those services are already provided within network. If they’re talking about…
