I’m finally back from my epic cross-country road trip. I realize that epic is a vastly overused word but it totally applies to my vacation. We decided to get back a day early and essentially drove non-stop for 26 hours. The good news is that we rolled into town around 10am which gave me almost […]
I’ve been so deep in vacation/road trip la-la-land that I have lost a grip on how long we’ve been gone or what day it is. Personally, I don’t think I can take any more relaxing/eating/boozing/sun/water. I feel the need to be productive. Fortunately it’s wrapping up. Aren’t you glad? We spent a day and a […]
I’m really digging this vacation business. I’ve been here for, what, three days and I haven’t had to reach for the chill-pills yet. Usually by now I’m completely stressed out about my kids acting like wild animals and everyone judging me for being shitty mom. Not that anyone does, well, maybe they do but no […]
I’ve discovered the unimaginable! A dog more fun to tortureplay with than Blue. What qualifies a dog as fun to tortureplay with is how majestically he suffers. Do his eyes express true longing and disappointment? Can you see the hope get snuffed out like a candle and then reignite in the next moment? Oscar rules […]
It’s a slow news day which is perhaps the best news I can report. I’m sorry if all this great vacation stuff is boring you but I’m finding myself in the rarified situation of not being irritated at anyone. Seriously, this never happens. If you prefer the pissed-off and stressed-out me, come back in a […]
We rolled into town around 11pm with half asleep and cranky kids. The boys wore themselves out protesting our Prince rock-block and were quiet for once. Then they saw their cousins Alicia and Larissa. One of the best things about marrying Zeb is becoming part of his family. I met his nieces when they were […]
It wouldn’t be a road trip without an epic battle royale. Some serious knockdown drag-out shit went down on the home-stretch to the lake house. We had just finished our second seven-hour audio book (boys’ choice, not that anyone cares what I want to listen to) and crossed the 2,000 mile mark. Zeb tuned into […]
I don’t know what I was thinking when I thought that West Virginia was on the way to South Carolina. Maybe if I was coming from Canada … We planned our cross country trip with the idea to take our time to “see the sights”. My apologies to middle America, but there really isn’t all […]
We made it to our first destination in record time. We left Boulder at 5am and arrived in West Virginia at 1pm. Booyah! We decided to forgo the motel and sleep at a rest-stop outside Lexington, Kentucky. I slept with the dog in the back and Zeb and the kids slept in their seats. Zeb […]
Okay, I don’t want you to freak out (all 13 of you) but I’m going out of town. What? No! Seriously! Calm Cown! Or … HEY! Could you at least pretend to give a shit? I don’t know what side of the fence you are on, but please don’t unsubscribe or drop me because I’m […]
