My opinion on everything
It is no revelation to many of you that I have a little… ummm…. problem. With my height. I’m sure all of this will be quite redundant for you. So, if you’ve known me since I was a little shit dropping my pencil in Mrs. Shambley’s class, seductively enticing you to look up my dress […]

I used to live in South Korea. A couple of times, actually. I didn’t live in Seoul or any other big city. I lived in a small village. There was a little farm on the path that led up a hill to our apartment. I woke up in the morning to rooster calls. Small village. […]

I went out last night. Five pleasantly innocuous words grouped together and spoken millions of times in a day. But when they’re applied to Sarge and I, it means something. Especially lately. It might surprise you to know that I don’t talk much. People I went to school with might be peeing their pants and […]

Since Sarge is going to be off playing International Man of Mystery, globetrottin’, kissin’ girls, and gettin’ in all sorts of double-OH!-seven, super-top-secret Army shenanigans for the next month (you know, the kind that require spiffy ties, a pair of Oakleys, and a Bowie knife strapped to yer ankle), it’s just going to be me […]

Today, my offering to the blogging community (many of whom are only a fraction of a percentage less narcissistic than celebrities, myself included), is my attempt to turn a pointlessly mean and annoying human being into a saucy-tongued hero using only words, fingers, and a keyboard. It’s a magic trick. Some people will come away […]

Seriously, there is absolutely nothing. Sarge was supposed to go out of town today, but his flight got canceled. I was going to whine about him leaving for 2 weeks, but now I can’t. Sooo….maybe I’ll go poke the kids with a stick so they’ll do something funny? Oh! I almost forgot. My electric bill […]

(My junior high band director used to tell me it was my “verbal vomit,” but I prefer brain sludge. It’s less guttural and undigested.) 1. Does anyone actually cook with capers? I bought a jar for a recipe once. I didn’t know what they were. They looked like LeSeur English Peas. I opened the jar […]

I’ve been checking out J-Money over at Budgets Are Sexy for a few days now. I think I’m really diggin’ him. He’s not trying to be Alan Greenspan or Dave Ramsey, the freaky-ass cult leader that he is. He’s just a regular dude blogging about money. He’s blogging anonymously because he pretty much has his whole financial […]

Just tossing out a guess, but for every…..hmmmm…..let’s say 5 relatively “normal,” functioning members in my family, I have at least 1 who is so far beyond the definition of bizarre that it would require words that have not yet been invented to convey to you their utter and saturating bizarreness. Some of them I’ve […]
