He showed up at my work today. He’d told me he was coming. I wasn’t sure what to believe. I bought him coffee. A bagel. A muffin. We have agreed to meet tomorrow. At 6 pm. At my office. I need to take him to the crisis ward of the local hospital. He’s manic. Has [...]

The Evil StepSisters

Ask me about my siblings and I will mention my brother. Dig deeper and I will ‘fess up. The Girls. The Half-Sisters. The ones that make it very easy to carry the title of ‘The Good Daughter’. Both my parents were married to other people, both straight out of high school, really. Mum married a [...]

I am not too far from swearing off all men altogether. I’m hating them. Each and every one. I’ve been thinking about the trials and tribulations of 2008 when it comes to the menfolk and am feeling (a) stupid, (b) dumb, and (c) naive. Fool me once, shame on youFool me twice, shame on me. [...]

This new thing I’m trying…I’ve decided to call it The Season of Sleeping Alone. I will pursue no new men. I will have zero sexual relationships with new partners. That’s all I’ve got so far. Suggestions welcomed.

WTF?

Why is it so hard for me to acknowledge that they are not worth my time and move on? —– I finally sent Zed a message today, since he was incommunicado and…really…do I really want anything to do with a guy who is that fucked up? —– As for Teacher Man, I blocked him on [...]

Still To Do…Before Wednesday Noon

Go to Ikea. Buy 4 folding chairs so that we can seat everyone at Christmas dinner on Thursday. Also look for a lampshade that clips onto the old-school light bulbs that are becoming obsolete, since my latest thrift store find is a bedside lamp without a shade. Which defeats the purpose of replacing my current [...]
Convo with The Former Mister – verbal pouting

If all is going well – I’ve taken my meds and work has not been too stressful and so worth – I can actually laugh at some of the convos I have with him: Me – So, The Mook was so cute today. She got all teary at dinner when we were talking about brothers [...]
Family Matters: Brother
Posted in family matters, much love on 12.21.2008 | 1 Comment »
I love my brother. I just don’t like him. In fact, I think he’s an asshole. He’s just 22 months older than I am and grew up fairly close. We were 2 of the 3 members of the Candace Cameron Fan Club, headquartered in our treehouse. I remember attempting to use Mum’s makeup to cover [...]
