The Ring


I recently purchased this ring for my friend, Melinda. Aren’t her hands pretty? I don’t think the ring is “her thing”. She’s just so practical. I think she would have preferred the $3.99 I spent on the ring in cash so she could buy fabric softener or something more useful. Just like the time she was in the hospital. She had her lung removed- ok, only 20% of her lung. Anyway, I bought her a latch hook rug kit. Which I thought was a brilliant choice. I mean, what else are you gonna do while you get your lung taken out? Thankfully Melinda made a full recovery. She’s back to her youthful, beautiful self. The rug… I’m afraid it did not make it. It would have been so beautiful. I forgive you Melinda.

edited to add: 3 years ago today Melinda had her lung operation. Today she's a healthy girl who enjoys long walks on the beach, being with her kids, and driving me crazy when we go shopping together. Love you Mel!

Here We Go...

The topic tonight at bedtime... birds and bees and what happens when birds and bees get together. Thankfully, Daddy, the Child and Adolescent Therapist goes over the details.

Can someone please come over and hold my hand?

As I eavesdrop, I have never heard Craig say the words... breast and vagina so many times in one setting. Wow, this is weird.

As with all my shortcomings, I blame my Mother. Her idea of the "birds and the bees" involved a spaghetti party where we skim over the part where "Aunt Martha" comes to visit. Completely ignoring the part where "Uncle Ken gets-to-know Aunt Martha". I still have so many questions. Mom, call me.

Let's stop talking about this.

Look, here's Rob- with panty hose on his head. That Rob, he's so crazy.
