Well, that’s it! I left my job today. Now, normally, I’d be grinnin’ ear to ear upon leaving a job – seein’ as my ultimate goal in life is to not HAVE to work. But, in reality, I’m sad. {sigh} And so, Internet, you’re gonna have to indulge me for a moment. I am a [...]

Husband and I have been happily married for that long. Amazing how time flies. I’ve gotten to think a lot about our wedding recently as we’re in the midst of wedding planning for OldestDaughter and TheBoy. What has struck me most is how much perspective about weddings I have now… 8 years, 6 months and [...]

I’ve lost feeling in my right arm from drying my hair this morning. Okay, Internet, I need your help. If any of you nice folks have done the Japanese Thermal Holy Shit Straightening thing, would you let me know if you like(d) it? I am seriously considering forgoing a mortgage payment to do this, but [...]

Hi, everybody! And thanks again to Miss Zoot for all her wonderfulness! Kick back, take a look around and enjoy. Your waitress will be around shortly to take your drink orders. Cheers, Pammer Share

I put the kybosh on that IMMEDIATELY. I’m all for early retirement (bring it on), but TWINS? I’m tired just thinking about it. [...]

I resigned last Friday and I am both heartbroken and completely ELATED all at once. I am so very sad to leave some of my favorite colleagues and faculty members, but, it was a path I put myself on months ago and, really, one I should stay on. (I’d tell you more about what started [...]

I think I’m going to have to start making Husband take The Swimmy to the potty. It’s really getting to be a bit much for me. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to show my face around a certain family-oriented restaurant for much longer. The other mothers are really starting to look at [...]

Husband was being especially wonderful to me tonight. I asked to go out to eat because (a) we haven’t gone to the grocery store in 2 ½ weeks (I’ve totally fallen down on the “good wife” thing and stale wheat thins, fuzzy watermelon and old lemonade just don’t make for a good meal) and, (b) [...]
