Must be something in the water

Hi there. Hope you are having a nice Sunday.

I realize that I ought to find something pretty to play or nice to say, but maybe later.

For now, click play.



* I am so sick. Someone call House. No, wait, don't. He tortures patients. I'm not that sick.

* It must be so freeing in a way to be okay with being an asshole. How is that such an endearing quality?

* I am loving this song.

* No clue whatsoever why someone put the song to a House montage but whatever.

* In fact, after downloading this band's version of Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want and playing back and forth between it and The Smiths, I'm hardpressed to say which I like better.

I'm shuffling back to my anti-viral tissues, Kombucha tea, and sofa for a Women's Murder Club marathon.

But I'll leave you with The Smiths...and please, please, please let me get well.

I'm tuck in my ways, I guess. I'll take the Smiths. That late-80's angst just works for me. I guess because I was so filled with angst a that time (Ha! As though it's dissipated with time). In any case, I'm a miserable, miserable person when I have a cold. I hope you are more tolerable than I am. And I hope you can have some peace while you get better.

Oh sweetheart! You have enough physical issues without also being acutely sick. I'm so sorry.

Feel better soon.

(But...that Dr. House...he's pretty damn cute, is he not?)

First heard the Smiths during my year in Scotland. Love them.

Maybe on TV being an asshole is endearing, but I rarely find it to be so in real life. Just annoying or worse.

Just heard tell of Radiohead doing a Smith's cover....you can find it on YouTube, I believe. I hope you feel better soon, Julie. And thanks for visiting my blog! I feel honored : )

I hope you feel better--soon!

And thanks for the song. Although I must say I think I'm the only person around who just doesn't like that show.

GIRL! I hope you feel better soon!


I despise being sick....because this is the time where my kids show their asses more than ever!

Not literally...because that might amuse me...and speed my recovery...NO! only in the figurative sense!

Glad we cleared up that misunderstanding! :)

GET WELL SOON!

"And if a double-decker bus . . .
Crashes into us . . . .
To die by your side . . .
Is such a heavenly way to die . ."

Yea, I love the Smiths

Now see that? I should have known better than to comment when I was sick. I've gone and given you my bug.

I truly hope you feel much better VERY soon; you have enough to deal with already.

{{{hugs}}}

Restaurant Trauma in Texas: How eating out prompted a really uncomfortable lesson about culture

WARNING: This is NOT a family-friendly post, aka the warning I WISH I'd gotten yesterday before I walked in. Yesterday was a Holiday. I hope you heard the scare quotes around that. Yeah, when you are an adult here is how holidays work: you, same workload as always, kids WOO HOO NO SCHOOL FREEDOM. Do the equation. The result is the day I had yesterday. If math isn't your strong suit I'm pretty sure you can still add that up but just in case let's say the highlight of the afternoon included me dumping out the mismatched sock basket and telling the children to have at it, in a way very reminiscent of Miss Hannigan of Annie . Anyway luckily I've taught my kids that Chores are Fun! and they had a good time. Later, I cranked up the fun-o-meter on a bank errand by dropping in the Halloween store to check out costumes, and upped the ante on "Mom needs new running shoes" by tacking on a "Hey let's eat out at a restaurant!" My husband was able to join ...

If I Could Talk To Him One More Time, Today (a Monday Mission)

This is part of the Monday Mission. We're to leave a voice mail. Check out Painted Maypole's spot for more... "Hi...umm...Mitch? It's Julie, Julie from high school. I doubt you remember me; we only knew each other for about five minutes. You mowed our lawn a few times, dated my friend's sister, and were in my AP English class senior year. That's why I'm calling---about what you did in the English class. It made a lasting impression, really made a difference in my life. That probably sounds dramatic but it's true. You see, I'd spent a lot of years being the kid who fell through the cracks in school. I think by high school I'd gotten tired of being the good enough and compliant student. Senior year, I was one inch from dropping out, and I probably would have if I'd had the guts or I thought my parents would let me get away with it. Instead, I just created a lot of unnecessary sturm and drang for myself, and cut school so much that by the end ...

'Whatever' is not an actual salary and it really doesn't buy the groceries, either

Teaching my girls how to pull the rope for themselves. It was a pretty innocuous mother's club meeting, and we were talking about babysitters. I don't even recall why it came up, the talk about babysitters. Conversation unrolls so organically in these meetings, these times we get together, without children, and get to just talk. But sitters came up in conversation and the turn of that conversation surprised me. Greatly. Apparently around here it's bad manners to quote an hourly rate for one's babysitting services. "You know what gets me?" a mom said, "You know what sitters I prefer? Who I pay the most to? The ones who say 'oh just pay me whatever.'" She went on to explain that (and this is my paraphrase not her exact statement) to her, it came across as very forward, rude even, when these sitters said they charged X dollars per hour. My mind rolled that concept around for a minute: it's cheeky and rude to state upfront how much you charg...
