I find all the crappy poetry I’ve written and then hidden. And now, as to embarrass myself completely, here you go!
Journey
Vast expanse
As far as the eye can see
Wind sweeping, hides the paths we’ve taken
Obscures the view of what may be.
Do you hear me at all?
I’m thirsty, I’m hungry
And nothing fills me up.
Dogged steps of determination
Push [...]
I like several Fall Out Boy songs. A lot.
I ate yogurt with oatmeal and rasins for dinner yesterday. I made the kids Top Ramen.
I have more zits now, at 28, then I ever did as a teenager.
I really hate parties.
I still love Weezer. Seriously. One of the BEST BANDS EVER.
I really need new underwear.
I talk [...]
Have you ever been surrounded by friends and family, hell, just people, all the time and still find yourself lonely for some reason?
I feel sad. Ok, I’m just going to say it: I miss my brother. He moved to Wisconsin last week, and while I am glad he is doing what he wants to do, [...]
Or get a really big dog. Or something.
Around 1:30 this morning Jason dragged me off our bed into the hallway and told me to get down. Not the best way to wake up. He had just gone to bed, heard a bunch of sirens and glanced out the window to see a cop car drive [...]
A House Elf. I already have a basement and he could sleep on my piles of winter clothes and drink the 15 zillion cases of Pepsi my husband bought (can’t pass up a good sale!) before realizing that Pepsi might be rotting his gut.
Perfect eyesight or at least really good eye care insurance. It’s [...]
Sunday I had the bright idea to try and sort all of my neglected flower beds out in the space of a single day. (Note to self: Plant something that doesn’t require weeding.) And so, for the first time in several months, I am having back spasms. I almost forgot how much those suck.
Luckily, I [...]
My dad just called to let me know my Great-Grandma Dora passed away. While I’m sad for our family I am glad she’s at peace now and not trapped in her body anymore. Last week I stopped by to visit her and she smiled at me and I couldn’t help but exclaim “There’s Grandma!”. She [...]
About 4 weeks ago, I weighed 12 pounds more than I do today! Hooray!
My arms are less jiggly. My tummy is less jello-y. My biceps are somewhere between firm playdough and raw meat. (Well, its better than the marshmallow like softness they were.) All my pants are hanging off my ass and my bras are [...]
I’m trying to be optimistic, but being self employed in the current economy is more than a little frightening. Especially if your companies industry just happens to be in construction. (Um, hello? No one is building anymore, and I can’t say I blame em.) Without getting into a lot of personal and financial issues… it’s [...]
As much as I’ve tried to ignore it, the election is coming up. I can’t help it, I just find the whole thing distasteful. I mean really? They are politicians. Each and every one of them, a talking puppet for a group of rabid people with an agenda all of their own. I question their [...]
