Call it hormones, the wacky weather, lack of sleep or just first world problems, here are 10 things currently pissing me off: 1. Toilet paper in public restrooms. Not only is it cheap and flimsy, why can’t I get more than one teensy square? I hate fighting with those damn dispensers! 2. Pharmacies. I wonder…
I’m in that place. That place between here and there. That place where tension headaches live day after day. That place that leaves you tossing and turning night after night. That place where the thoughts in your head are way louder than they should ever be. I’m stuck in a state of being lost and…
1 yard sale. 2 broken finger nails. 2 trips to Home Depot. 2 guys and a truck. 3rd floor. No elevator! 4 rolls of tape. 5 days without TV or Internet (thank God for free WiFi). 5 nights of take out. 5 trips to Goodwill. 10 wardrobe boxes. 12 overpriced newspapers purchased and used to…

Feeling small, weak and out of control, I recognize these sensations. I’ve been here before. I am at the point during the dreadful two week wait where I turn into someone I know well but don’t like very much. The hormones I’m taking (progesterone, estrogen and heparin) have had a chance to dig into my…
My husband and I were just discussing this and I even went as far as looking up what the 10 most annoying sounds are. Needless to say, my list is a little different: 1. Hearing people eat or drink, particularly when they gulp, smack or are utterly disgusting while doing it. 2. Idling cars. 3….
A brief timeline to bring you up to speed: October 2007 – my parents die while living and working in Tunis, Tunisia and my sister and I inherit their stateside home. October 2008 – house is inspected and appraised, it is full of 16 years worth of life and memories. December 2008 - roof work…
Letters For Lucas and tomorrow’s Letters For You will be on hiatus for a while. SIDE NOTE: Thank you, Momma Kiss for your understanding and my frantic phone call. I am heading to Arizona at this very moment to deal with God knows what. My sister and I still own our parents house in Tucson…
