"Randomness is my life." - Me1. I've let the boxes sit for a couple of weeks. The over-whelming temptation to just chuck it all in a dumpster was my cue that I needed to stand down for a time.2. That time is over and I am back to it.3. Stand down has become code-word between [...]

That is what I kept telling My Man. I don't remember the last time he and I got away, just the two of us, just to chill. I demanded more than just one night away. I wanted a full weekend. Friday and Saturday night and no rushing back on Sunday.While he was in Denver a [...]

Dear Diary. It's only been six days since I've last written you. Where does the time fly!?! Possibly lost to my new obsession that is all things Downton Abbey. Oh, Diary! It's so wonderful! Will Mary and Matthew finally become engaged? Will Bates be able to pay off his wife and marry Anna? Will Countess Crawley [...]

Some random thoughts.Right now, I am sitting in my living room (still no working fireplace, by the way...I'm trying not to be bitter.) Sipping a glass of The Black Dog. Chloe's tail is flicking me in the back of the head, now and then. The Wild Boy is in the basement watching...something. *update on the Wild [...]

I have felt particularly whiny today. I haven't verbalized it much. Except for a 45 second rant at my uber stressed out husband who calmly looked at me and said, "okay, but I'd like for you to go with me to the meeting with the realtor."I immediately felt ashamed for blurting out, "I have had [...]

I think I'm pretty open and honest here on This Girl. It ain't all roses and parties. Case in point: I just sent this to my husband via email: Can I just be honest here? I am done. D.O.N.E. I can’t take the stress anymore. I can’t take the always running behind on everything. I [...]

Prepare yourself, big time random coming up! *as if you couldn't tell by the title*1. First off, y'all know I love me some Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Tony, Ziva, McGee, Abby & Vance are my bff's in tv land. But seriously, the 200th episode this week? Well, I was dumbfounded. Speechless. In shock. As it ended, [...]

If I haven't run y'all off yet...this will surely do it.*not that I'm trying to run you off*I have a confession to make:I am an unbeliever.Feels good to finally get that out.I am writing this at 6:00 pm on Monday, January 23. There are some things going on in our family right now that I'll [...]

I will be blogging next week, for sure. Waiting for a few things to play out. But it is going to be Good. He has assured me it is so.If you see me, and I'm by myself and my lips are moving and I'm totally unaware of your presence, it is because He has firmly [...]

Seriously, it is hard to remember when all the days seem to run into each other as one big NCIS-watching-box-unpacking-marathon.So here's the deal. The last couple of days have been really hard. I vacillate between silence, rage, sobs, and need-to-kill. My poor husband has certainly been the recipient of all these emotions this week. He [...]
