I cooked y’all (don’t have a heart attack!). Mama said she wasn’t going to, and I decided that I NEEEEED the traditional southern New Year’s dinner. Since I can’t make myself be “traditional”, I turned it into soup. Collards for folding money, blackeyed peas for coins, pork for luck, and I decided that [...]

This post is dedicated to those of you who don’t follow me on twitter. You’re missing…a lot. It was, it is, it has been time to rip the carpets out of this house for longer than I care to admit. There will be no “before” pictures because I have to handle the carpet with gloves and [...] The backup laptop has a pentium III processor and a whopping 192 mb of ram. whywhyWHY did I keep it? It never fails – fill the bowl with bleach and everybody has to go potty RIGHTNOW. Flooring, round 2 coming up. Dear Teen Driver: I don’t care how loud the bass is thumpin. Yer [...] I was in the dairy section when I looked up and there he was. A regular customer that I wanted to get to know better outside of work. He mentioned a 20 yr old daughter and I asked “How do you make it past 16 without wanting to KILL THEM DEAD??!!??” He reiterated the mantra I’ve [...] I am not the right woman for him. I refuse to discuss marriage. I am shoving my children down his throat. I am just using him for sex. I am under my mama’s thumb (and after her money). I let That House come between us. I wouldn’t have nothin’ if it weren’t for my Daddy dying. HE worked for it all. I’m [...] I call, he does’t answer. I text, he answers. My head explodes more. We do this dance for another month, with me trying to get him to talk to me, explain himself, make this right somehow. Valentine’s day rolls around, and he calls. Invites me to dinner and “to talk”. It’s too late, it really [...] I went to the house he’s been “renovating” for Mama. The demolition has been done, and the wall repair/primer is up. He told me the stucco crumbled when he pulled the wallpaper down, and therefore the entire kitchen must be redone. He says that putting panelling up would be less expensive than replacing the drywall. [...] We go out as often as we can, but I honestly prefer hanging out at the house with the kids. He keeps asking “would you marry me?” and I keep ducking the question. It’s too soon, he’s too still-married, please stop asking. Okay, if I answer will you NEVER ASK ME AGAIN? Then [...] The accident happened and I slid into another world. Answering the phone, shaking hands, hugging people whose names I remembered but either had never met or hadn’t seen since I was a child. He became my rock in the storm. He held me when I cried, handed me tissues. He came to the wake and [...] |
