Thursday Thirteen

Thursday Thirteen, a quick and easy way to get to know a little more about this little Texas girl, stolen from a little California girl…

Thirteen things that currently make me blissfully happy:

1. Boys that wear glasses

2. My snuggly rain-soaked puppy

3. Lemon slices in my ice water (this is harder than I thought)

4. The fact that it did not storm all day long (surprise, surprise)

5. Working air conditioning in my car

6. Being released from my apartment lease

7. Moving (okay, not really but I am trying here)

8. Knocked Up (Seriously, it is hilarious)

9. My new purple sunglasses (Not sure why I need them)

10. Did I mention boys in glasses? Seriously. Very. Cute.

11. Yoga pants

12. Irish breakfast tea

13. Glasses. Boys. Who knew…

"I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" Piglet.

Horoscope: Something is going terribly right in your world! It's crucial to acknowledge this, so that you are inspired to continue to create more of that good thing -- even if you don't know how you created it to begin with!

Epps! I am scrambling to figure out what is going right. I sure as fuck want to keep any good thing going. My mother lectured me on Monday night about positive energy and not being an Eeyore (yes, she really did). So I am setting up an Eeyore-free zone here in Texas. I am off to say my mantra……

Open wide....

Recently I had my wonderful yearly trip to the gyno (see it really has been a bad month), and one of my co-workers sent this little story to make me laugh. I just thought that I would share it.


I was due later in the week for an appointment with the gynecologist. Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30am. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school and it was already around 8:45am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.
As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in "that area" to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment. I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when the doctor said, "My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?" I didn't respond. After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day was normal...some shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc After school when my six year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, "Mommy, where's my washcloth?" I told her to get another one from the cupboard. She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles in it."

Bad luck by the numbers…..

It has been a rough month. Often I did not feel up to posting about it. So to quickly sum up the month, I am going to run down the number. So sit back and enjoy the misery….

Number of times apartment has flooded – 2
New apartments that I have located – 0
Repairs made to my apartment to prevent further flooding - 0
Chance of rain today – 40%
Number of times my stomach clinches when it rains (I type this while listening to thunder) – endless
Number of times my vehicle just stopped running, and had to be pushed, jump started, and/or kicked – 2
Number of cars that have been towed while watching a movie – 1
Speeding tickets – 1
Number of small orange kittens that have suddenly appeared to torture the pitbull that lives with me – 1
Number of times that I have realized that I am in hell, and Satan looks like a small orange kitten – 205
Number of waitress that have burst into tears during a birthday party – 1
Times that I have decided to run away to Mexico - 714

Hasta la Vista

Notes from the Ark

They line up outside my apartment, two by two, silently waiting to take their turn on the couch. The couch being the only dry spot in a vast land of water. Yes, the apartment has flooded again, and my streak of fucking bad, very bad luck continues.

Don’t worry, I am dry now, and currently waist deep (sorry, I could not resist) in a search for new shelter. Preferably something much higher off the ground.

So I guess this is Friday’s child giving out swimming instructions. Sorry, but you are going to have to come to Houston to collect.
