Celebrate?
So this huge life change has happened for me and it’s amazing. But it’s happened at such a crazy time of year that I don’t feel that I’ve really had a chance to celebrate yet. And I want to celebrate and celebrate big, but I’m afraid that soon it’s going to be so after the fact that it will be anticlimactic. Sucko.

Fantastic Day!
I got an absolutely wonderful, amazing job offer today! I got to share this wonderful amazing news with the two men in my life, my husband and my bestie. They have both been so supportive and they were both so genuinely excited and happy for me.

I was just talking to a friend about life while laying on the couch, and started to tear up. I almost started actually cry. This hasn’t happened in a while. I still have too many emotions and feelings bottled up. I am working on them, and I have been keeping my life as positive as possible. If I…

“We thrive on both conflict and snuggles.”

Just a few months until Gay Christmas 2011!
I just ordered some awesome accessories for my Gay Christmas outfit.
Pumpkin Apocalypse
So a few years ago, there was a pumpkin shortage. Most of you probably didn’t notice, but Greg and I did. That year we had trouble finding canned pumpkin for our baked goods and snatched up any can of pumpkin we could find. The habit stuck and we still do that. Right now, we have five cans of pumpkin in our pantry and we’ve already made pumpkin pancakes this week (which means we used...
I'm irrationally happy today
Life seems good at the moment. I’m still waiting for some things I want to happen, but today I have patience.

Parenting Failure
How is it that I am not the worst parent in the world, but I have one of the most unhappy children in the world? I’m heartbroken.

Mean Girls
I got a call from my older daughter at summer camp today. She was distraught because an slightly older girl was bullying and humiliating her in the bathroom today. She wanted me to pick her up from camp and luckily my managers worked with me so that I could do so.
I purposefully did not ask this girl’s name or anything because the urge to out mean girl her was almost overwhelming. I am one...

The only thing that makes me re-consider is that shaun wont come over anymore, and that will also make me sad. :-/
I won’t be able to come over. But we’ll just have to hang out in public. Or at my place. Remember you came over that one time and it didn’t kill you?

Why do people insist on singing “hero” (by Mariah sCarey) during karaoke? So much wrong.
Better than singing it during karaoke: singing it in Wetzel’s Pretzels and yelling “EVERYBODY!” when it gets to the super dramatic part at the end.
I don’t know who would do something as awkward and awesome as that.
To My Dear Parents
who luckily know nothing of Tumblr,
Calling me at 9pm at night to tell me you’re in town and would like to drop by my apartment sometime the next morning sucks. I will, of course, say yes and be happy you’re coming to visit, but my place will be a mess. I will wake up early on a weekend morning and force myself and my family to do a superficial clean up of the public places in our...

OKAY. This is everything I want to say about abortion.

Do you have internet connection? Can you pay for the food you eat? Did you go to college? You’re far more privileged than you think. The percentage of all abortion patients under the…

On my 32nd Birthday
The year I was 31 was filled with opportunity - opportunities to grow, to make good choices, to make bad choices, to decide who I am, and to adjust to new circumstances. At the end of it all, I am content with the choices I’ve made. It’s been a good year. I really feel that my thirties are my decade.

Happy Vasectomy Day!
I know everyone will be tumbling their favorite V for Vendetta quotes, but for me this is Vasectomy Day. It commemorates the one year anniversary of Greg’s vasectomy. We will be celebrating this important occasion with Christmas lights and Italian food.

derekisme:
Dozens of retired military chaplains say that serving both God and the U.S. armed forces will become impossible for chaplains whose faiths consider homosexuality a sin if the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy is thrown out.
But somehow they make peace with the whole killing people part of being in the military.

My husband's childhood church just disowned him
Apparently, at their last meeting, they found that they did not consider him an active member anymore. To be fair, he hasn’t really participated in worship and community there since we got married almost 12 years ago. It was a super nice form letter signed by his mother’s best friend. Loves it!
Silverfish is weeping over it though.
I'm a really bright woman
but some people have the amazing ability to make me feel stupid over and over again.
