Full of Beans

We woke up this morning full of beans - Larry’s favorite expression for “with lots of energy” - even though we were rudely kept awake by an unending chorus of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” between the hours of 5 and 6 am this morning. (Oh trust me, you’ll walk alone when you’re kicked out, [...]

Just An Observation

Before anyone launches their attack, remember that what I am about to say is not a judgment, it is simply an observation.
Irish babies have enormous heads. Gigantic. GINORMOUS.
I used to call them turnip heads until that elf on Lost started saying it and then I didn’t feel special anymore. Now I alternate [...]

I don’t usually have the TV on during the day, other than for the necessary lunchtime E! News and Daily Ten reports, but in the last few days I have realized that daytime TV is really funny. There are a number of companies that advertise in the middle of Casualty and Breakers reruns that [...]

I’m Losing It

I really think I am losing it.
This morning I woke up with one ear that is entirely blocked (which I think is the universe getting back at me for when Larry couldn’t hear and I wandered around the apartment asking “Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?”), and one [...]

Take A Guess Tuesday

I got a lot of comments last week when I didn’t post a Tuesday question - to all you who complained, imagine me blowing you a giant raspberry right now! However, it was good to know you all limber up for these mind blowing challenges, so here’s a very special one.
In college, [...]

Sick Day

So, Laurence stayed home sick for just about the first time since I’ve met him (seriously, in 8 years I can’t think of the last time he took a sick day) and while he made himself comfortable in MY office, I was unable to get anything done, work-wise.
Life-wise, I got quite a bit [...]

Comfy Sunday

With his rainbow mucus no better, Larry and I spent another day in. I got up and hit the gym, returning yesterday’s DVDs on the way home - V for Vendetta and The Benchwarmers - and then we spent the afternoon online with season six of Sex and the City on in the background.
Don’t [...]
