Not Silly

Need me some IRL friends

Saturday, April 17, 2010

I know it takes me a while to get settled and start to make friends after I move. I’ve definitely made a few momma friends lately, but no one that I feel could be a real buddy! An old running friend pinged me on facebook this week. They want info about moving to Denver, as it is a possibility. I’m almost embarrassed about how excited I got even by the POSSIBILITY of them moving here! I used to run with her and her husband. They have two kids…enjoy drinking AND running.

Please let them move here. Importing friends seems easier than making new ones.

I’m Whispering My Goals for my 40th Year

April 17, 2010

I’ve been wishing all of my high school buddies Happy 40th Birthday on Facebook lately. Which means that I’ll be the one turning 40 soon. How in the hell am I in my 40th year? Really? I FEEL better than I did at 25. I’m very comfortable with the uncomfortable. I seriously don’t feel 40. [...]

Bad Mom Day

October 1, 2009

Today was NOT a good mom day. Don’t worry. I don’t hold myself up to unrealistic high expectations. I have set rather low expectations. But, I think I fell even below my low expectations. You know, if you have very little patience BEFORE you have a kid, I’m pretty sure that I don’t magically get [...]

Out of the Fog

August 14, 2009
Thumbnail image for Out of the Fog

I’ve been in a fog. I’ve been angry. I’ve been nasty. I’ve been lonely. I’ve been ambivalent about my future. I’ve been anxious. I’ve been borderline depressed. I’ve been waiting to get the hell out of this phase. How long have I been here? I know I’ve been ANGRY since my son was born. We [...]

Celebrate Your Son’s Birthday at Hooters

August 3, 2009

Wow…doesn’t that sound fun. Would you take your 13 year-old son a lunch at Hooter’s as his 13th Birthday gift? One of my Facebook ‘friends’, a girl from my hometown who I worked with years ago, posted announcements that her husband was taking their son to Hooters. I sort of thought that was weird. And, [...]

Find Your Money Honey!

July 28, 2009

I’m of the general opinion that I will know when someone owes me money and I’ll chase them until they pay me. But, recently, I got a strange letter in the mail. Some random law firm in California said that I had $2300 in unclaimed wages from my old employer in California from 2000. Stupidly, [...]

Operation “Get My Ass in Gear” 10 Day FollowUp

July 23, 2009

Sorta weird. Writing a blog post full of angst with some semi-conscious planning about how to get my ass in gear. AKA How to get out of my rut. Since I wrote that, my parents came into town, I’ve been knee deep in our home remodel (details to follow), cleaned up a little projectile vomit [...]

Operation “Get My Ass in Gear”-But I wrote this last week…

July 23, 2009

An intro…I wrote this ten days ago before my family came to town. I’m finally getting settled back in the routine. But, it’s always funny reading something from 10 days ago. That could just as easily be 10 YEARS ago. But, I’m going to leave this post AS IS without edits. I’ll post another in [...]

Out of sorts, But I’ll Stop My Whining Now

July 9, 2009

I’m way out of sorts right now. And, I’m trying hard not to go into full on OCD mode and over-analyze and freak out about life. Tim, my husband is in China for another week, so I’m playing single mom for a week. (Which, can I say really loudly…Single Parents absolutely rule. I worship at [...]
