You had me laughing out loud at, "He obviously missed the eye-twitching or perhaps mistook it for an exaggerated wink." I'm so excited for you... soon you'll be out of there -- so very soon!
Hope you have an amazing trip!
Poor pup... he sure picked the most inappropriate time to play. Whenever our cats keep us up at night, the next day we'll keep harrassing them and waking them up every time we catch them sleeping so that they'll sleep through the night.
Oh wow... I am so envious of your cozy little nook, all nicely decorated for the fall. I am also amazed at your Grandmother's talent. What a cool little house!
Gosh, that is pretty sad when you see the unfortunate circumstances in other people's lives. Count your blessings... and enjoy your time off!
How exciting! Good luck 'thinking' the baby out. I hope you have a safe n' speedy delivery.
After 9 (or has it been 10 now?) years of compromise living with someone, I can only imagine how liberating it must feel to be on your own. Even the good times are still filled with unconscious compromise... enjoy this time living at your own pace.
Gawd Janet, I felt a warm pang in my heart as I read this. This might be one of my most favourite posts of yours yet... of which there are many.
Well, that kinda sounds like the top ten list I was asking for from you. Gosh, there is so much to comment on -- Rock being a sh*tty father, your n' Don's loss, the feelings of reclaiming Janet in the house and yet at the same time being completely broke and housebound.... I want to say so much, but perhaps I should leave it for Facebook. What I will say though is that when I read you needed someone to dread your hair, I put my virtual hand up in the air.
Welcome back... And I love how you capture the essence of fall. Every autumn I suddenly remember that it is in fact my favourite season, even though summer, spring and winter all give it a run for its money... I believe that none of them really come close to the sensation that autumn brings.
Oh, I made a vegetarian sheppards pie a couple days ago... and then I liberally smothered it with cheese, until it looked more like a cheese pie than a sheppard's pie.
Oh, I too have had many passionate love affairs with cheese...
Congratulations!!! That's soooo awesome!!! I love the last line too... "Honey: Who's Gavin Degraw?" "Me: {Sigh} Who Cares?" I don't know who Gavin Degraw is either.
