if i had a better camera, i’d photograph my life right this very moment.
puppy asleep next to me, happily curled up to my thigh.
hubby playing wow, blanket thrown over his feet, smirk on his face because he is uber.
me in my watermelon shirt (pink cuffs, lime green and white stripes) needing slippers but happy without [...]

If you are the Country Music Television Network, and you are fighting the generalizing label of backwater, red neck, racist wife beaters with no education and little variation in your gene pool….
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, run back to back episodes of “Nanny 911″ and “Trading Spouses” for several days and call it your [...]

I must grade papers. Was sick today, wasn’t on campus, should have used the down time to catch up on my fucking grading, but I slept forever instead. Now it’s time to grade papers.
But I don’t want to. Any new email? No. Any new messages on LJ worth reading? No. What about the celeb blog [...]

I woke up yesterday to find James napping on the couch.
Our usual groggy conversation occurred, the one I instigate when I find him absent from work:
Me: What are you doing home?
Him: *grumble mumble*
Me: Are you sick?
Him: No! I was just napping. I decided to screw around all day instead of work.
Me: *flabbergasted*
Him: Go look at [...]

It’s 7:30pm and I can accomplish little to nothing in my life these days.
The living room looks halfway decent, but it’s not sparkling clean and, since it’s the only room I’ve tackled so far, that’s ridiculous.
I need to get a new filter for the vacuum.
I need to conjure more shelf space for our  kitchen, to [...]

Today was a bad day.
I’m getting sick, I’m miserably tired and fed up with everything.
I need sleep, and I need time with friends… but if I’m sick, I can’t go.
Fuck.
Turning in for the night, seeing how I feel in the morning.
Wish me luck.

I did absolutely NOTHING on that list.
It was produced in vain.
Instead of tackling the myriad of things I need to do, I sat on my well-cushioned ass for most of the day.
Life decided to hand me headaches and abdomen cramps all. fucking. day. long.
And I took them with a healthy dose of NOT DOING ANYTHING.
Haven’t [...]

I keep running far, far off course on this site.
My original goal was to journal all those tiny little thoughts pounding around in my head when I was up there, in front of 20 freshmen four times a day, feeling like an absolute n00b.
But somewhere I jumped the shark into a no-man’s land of personal [...]

“Your ex-husband is an abusive crack-addict and your boyfriend is a serial killer. It’s kind of hard not to take that personally.”
-Dexter
I am amazingly and enthrallingly in love with that show. We just signed up for Netflix again, since the late fees from our IRL movie rental place were getting to be ridiculous (we’re just [...]

I’m ready to write now.
Twice in one day, I know… but I don’t give a shit.
I’d like to tell SOMEONE how my night went last night, since it was the dress rehearsal of the CCCC Conference Round Table we’re doing in April…. and apparently, since some people have a hard time listening around here, you’re [...]
