My most recent addiction

Buttons:

Today’s totally shallow thought

Maybe it just all comes down to the shoes you’re wearing because I feel effing tremendous. And to think, all this time I thought that it was much more spiritual than this.

A most excellent find

My yard will never be the same

In the clash against my yardmate, the score now stands at:

Ang 0
Gopher 25

If you like pina coladas

So I’m screwing around on match.com today, just checking out the possibilities and asked the computer to choose only 100% matches for me. I’m what he wants, and he’s what I want.

On page two (which was infinitely easier to find than the first time four years ago), I found:

MY HUSBAND

And yes, he says he’s divorced.

So apparently, we’re divorced. I didn’t realize it, but hey, it’s just a piece of paper so there you have it.

My girlfriend said I should wink at him.

I didn’t feel like it.

Oh, I did. Four years ago. I suppose the lesson is that profiles and attraction to a photo won’t tell you how a relationship will go, how it will end. Parts of it were lovely while it lasted. For those parts I am truly, truly grateful.

Today’s random thought

I’m sitting in the coffee shop listening to a woman talk about just taking off for Jamaica — deciding that she needed to get out — didn’t tell anyone — didn’t ask a friend to go — just went.

It’s alluring.

This Stella most definitely needs to get her grove back.

STELLA!

My life

Picture me with a soup spoon in hand, kneeling in front of a gopher hole, scooping out enough dirt to make a path into the hole, unscrewing a bottle of Lysol (undiluted) and pouring it in said hole. Rinse. Repeat.

My life. In a nutshell.

Because this felt appropriate today

Just Kidding! (aka This Month’s Random Observations)

So I woke up this morning to find the yard and the car covered in snow. I know, I know. I didn’t park in my garage last night. Crazy, yes? But who knew there was going to be SNOW?! Not me! (Okay, Okay, “Not I,” I know.)
