What Language Do They Speak in the Poconos?

2006-03-17T06:37:00.000-05:00

An innocent question....
"I'm so excited that we're going to the Poconos Mommy. Thank you so much. I think it will be a lot of fun... but,I forget.What language do they speak in the Poconos?"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It's here again.
Funny how that happens.
When you're not paying attention - or even if you are.
I'm always reluctant to celebrate.
I mean, really, celebrating the day you were born?
But, alas, i've been convinced over the years that it is the right thing to do.
So who am I to buck the system?
I'll celebrate.
I started last night.
It started with a glass of wine.
It ended in bed with the FB.
It was fabulous.
He was more than willing to celebrate me.
Okay, so I did a little celebrating him too.
By the fire.
In the kitchen.
In the bedroom.
Ahem.
We were celebrating!
So, as I contemplate this birthday "thing"
I'm thinking I should have them more often.

Daddy's Getting A Porta-Potty - Don't Be Sad

2006-02-25T22:02:00.000-05:00

Do you think you'll be there mommy?
I'm not sure sweetie. It will be great fun though, I'm sure. Even if there are porta-potties outside.
I hope there's soap. And that they are nice. Do you think they'll be nice?
I'm sure they'll be nice. I'm sure you'll be allowed inside, even if the guests have to stay outside.
Yeah, you're right. I just don't want you to be sad mommy.
I'm not sad. I won't be sad.
You know why I think you'll be sad mommy?
Because you love me? And because I onced loved your daddy?
Yeah. And I don't want you to be sad that he's getting married.
I know honey. I won't be sad. I'm happy for daddy. I'm happy for you.
I know mommy. Just don't be sad.
I won't be sad. I'm not sad. And I'm glad I have my own bathroom.

Snow!

2006-02-11T22:33:00.000-05:00

After a long week.
It is somewhat refreshing.
No?
No where to run to.
Settle in.
Prepare.
Cuddle up.
Bundle up.
Relax.
You're not going anywhere.
So refreshing!

A BAD THING. GOOD PEOPLE.

2006-02-06T20:06:00.000-05:00

"Now that this has happened, what shall I do about it?"
I'll remember them fondly
I'll remember how their generous hearts touched so many
I'll remember to love every minute on this planet
I will remember

PRETENDING I'M A FOOTBALL

2006-02-05T13:43:00.000-05:00

If I was...
You'd be holding me tight
You'd be running with me, holding me tight
You'd be sorry when you dropped me
You'd be sorry when you eventually had to let go
You'd be sorry when you eventually had to let go & give someone else a try
You'd be jealous when someone else was holding me
You'd be so jealous that you'd try to steal me back
You wouldn't give up on the first try
You'd keep trying
You'd keep trying
You'd keep trying
You'd think it was a game
You'd try to win
You'd be sorry if you didn't
You'd be sorry when you didn't
You'd drink a beer
You'd drink a beer with friends
You'd say it was a good game
You'd wonder what went wrong
You'd wonder if you'd do it differently next time
You'd wonder
You'd wonder
You'd say
Hell, it was only a game

2nd beer, 2nd glass of wine... no responsibility for what is written here.
I'm in love with stripper....
That's the song my FB came in singing the other night.
So, of course I had to download it from itunes.
Hmmm.
This alone should worry me.
I'm downloading songs, just to find out what the FB thinks is music.
It's only$.99 so what the F.
He's only the FB, let him listen, let him sing, no worries.
"she's climing that pole..."
C'mon.
I'm climing the stairs.
Does that count?
And today.
I find myself surrounded by beefed up contractors. One day home to do the things that you have to stay home from work - pretend there's some emergency- for.
I wonder.
I'm I attracted to the blue collar-type?
Is that the only men i come in contact with?
Or, as I asked my friend today,
I am attracked to men who come over and start banging things?
I wonder?

Another Saturday Night.....

So the song goes.
So the life in marriedville, USA goes.
Okay, so if you are even thinking about telling me that I should shut up and get over it... you're probably right. But you probably are not single.

It's not that I don't TRY to go out. It's not like I'm sitting home EVERY night. It's not like I'm a bitter bitch who thinks all men are scum. It's not like that at all. Here's what it's like.

" so hi, how are you today. How are the kids? Good. Yes, all is good here. Another crazy day at work. Another crazy, busy, hectic day. But, I suppose all is well. Could be better. Could be worse. Yes, she's with her dad this weekend. Ya know, she was with me last weekend... remember? Yes, that's the schedule. Been like that for about 6 years. No, that's okay. I know you have a lot to keep track of. so, any chance you can sneak away for a few hours? Hey, no problem. Sure, you too... talk to you later"

" so hi, what's going on. what are you guys doing this weekend. How nice, what restaurant? With who? Oh, that should be fun. They're a lot of fun. I met them at your party a few weeks ago. you guys have fun. Yes, we'll catch up next week..."

"oh hi. sure I remember you. (barely). Yes it was fun. Martini mania - I think that's what we called it. Well, that's a interesting complement. (some reference to intensity & flexibility... need I go on). Me, well i'm off to a night out with some friends... sure, some other time. (not!). Take care."

"hi mom. I'm just peachy! no really! (Really, I'm great. It's saturday night, you're calling me to check in, knowing damn well you'll catch me at home). Yes, she's with her dad this weekend. Remember, she was with me last weekend when we called you & dad to say hi? No worries, I know. (It's hard to keep track of the days ---- when all the days blend together). I will mom. Love to Dad!

You could play that record over and over again. (if you so choose).

My girlfriend calls (from about 1,000 miles away).
"glad you & the new man are going well and the kids are dealing with the divorce . He sounds like a great guy. No, no one special. A had a FB (reference to a line from a bizarre film vanilla sky. it's a sex partner who knows that they are just a sex partner), but apparently he's taken a brake from F'ing. Go figure! You too sweetie. Enjoy!"

Pouring another glass of wine.

Tomorrow is another day.
(and not another saturday night!)
