My husband has been gone a mere 3 days, and already I am half blind and in desperate need of one of those Styrofoam neck braces. Oh, and I have a huge egg on my forehead. I turn 30 next week. I don’t think I’m going to make it.
The crazy thing is: mentally, I’m fine. [...]

My husband leaves for the volcano tomorrow, and will be gone 5 long days. I have a new 2-pronged method for dealing with this that relies heavily on carrot dangling and literary junk food.
The carrot : A 5 day mini-vacay on the sunny side of the island to immediately follow his return. I scored a [...]

So. The Hula Olympics are just wrapping up in my hometown, but I haven’t been allowed to go on account of the trash talking I would undoubtedly commit. It’s not that I don’t like hula. I do like hula, hula is grand. Go hula. It’s a huge dealio here. The festival going on right now [...]

I don’t normally use my blog to comment on pop culture, as there are a lot of people smarter than me doing it already. I also try studiously to avoid bandwagons.

Yea, you caught me. Technically, it hasn’t happened. But if it did, it would consist of only one question:

As I blogged about a few weeks ago, I honestly believe that twins greatly improve both the mind and the soul. Unfortunately, they destroy the body. I am falling apart at the seams. The girls have effectively reversed my age. I am 92 and getting older by the minute.
My worst ailment is the chronic case [...]
