So, since most people who read this are also my Facebook friends, you know that I made the Viking a cake for Valentine’s Day. I was trying to figure out something to buy him but nothing seemed like a good gift (that I could actually afford), and then I remembered Tina telling me people who …

A Little Bit of Something
I have baking and cleaning and self prettifying to do today, so I’m kinda bullshitting today’s post. I’ll make it up to you guys who care about my baking stories when I write about the Viking Man Cake I made up for tonight. I have to wait to write about it until Tuesday AFTER I’ve …

Attempts at Normalcy
As all of you probably know, Dad got to come home last night after 5 days in the hospital. When the doctor told us he was going home I nearly cheered and cried at the same time, but I’m pretty sure that would have startled the doctor so I stayed quiet, a rare enough occurrence …

Because You Never Know
Let me start this by saying that things are fine now. But there have a couple times over the past few days when it looked like they might not be. I’m not going to go into a whole lot of detail, but Friday my dad developed some complications with his surgery, and I thought we …

Oh My
Tuesday, my dad got shoulder surgery, or as Tina puts it, he got his bionic shoulder and should be developing super power soon. It was a much need surgery, and he has been an excellent patient. I’m freaking exhausted. I have been required to become a day walker, and it is screwing me up so …

Cut a Bitch

Some people can only take medicine for a brief period in their lives and, when circumstances change, come off …

Odds and Ends
Okay, I’m tired and not feeling much writery. It’s why I missed both Saturday and Tuesday. (In my defense, I had a blog started then the Viking told me South Park had already covered the topic, and I found I couldn’t complete it.) I am still not feeling very writer-y, but I have too much …

The Wal-Mart Mythos
I’ve begun to realize that people outside of the south and central parts of the U.S don’t understand many things about us. One of those things is our relationship with the Wal-Mart. I spent the first nine years of my life in Louisiana. When you needed groceries you went to Piggly-Wiggly, Alberston’s, or Winn-Dixie, but …

And Then Some
“One must wonder how one milks a soy.” I think that every time I make coffee with my soy milk. You would think the joke would get old, but no, I still enjoy it. I finally went to the doctor to Friday. The physicians assistant was very polite, smart, kind, and she looked twelve. She …

Keeping It Real
I’ve been sick since a little after Christmas. I know, I know, I’m Typhoid Mary. We’ve covered this already. I will get to feeling better with plenty of rest, but once I do, I find myself having to do something big and strenuous. (I have no regrets about getting sick because I went out on …
