Smacksy

Why I love this woman:
  • She is clever, genuine, and a true blue writer.
  • She's the mother of a 3 year old smarty pants who reminds me of a four year old smarty pants that I love.
  • She understands entering adulthood in the 80's. Enough said.
  • She makes me laugh until I snort.
  • She's not afraid to talk about poop.
  • She uses her boys (Jeff, Bob, the dog and cat) as muses and excuses for talking about poop.
  • I love clever stories about poop. It infiltrates my every day and I can't find joy in my own experiences with it.
  • She invited me to dinner next Sunday.

Why I hate this woman:

  • She is drop dead gorgeous.
  • She is funnier than I am.
  • She lives in a place where snow is only a legend.

If you do not find her completely charming, hilarious or clever, I will give you my dinner invitation.

I'm totally lying about giving you the invite.

    I was just waiting to comment so that I wouldn't be the first comment. (Thanks DG!) But being the second comment isn't totally pathetic is it? Oh. Well. Too late now.

    Thank you, Nancy. Thanks for understanding my intimate relationship with poop and pets and crazy guys and my intense need to over-share these experiences. You are stuffed with awesome.

Christmas Gifts

Jill is the slice of home baked pie you long for. Her dad was a farmer. His dad was a farmer. On a hot summer day Jill would call me up to go floating down the canal or ride the slick rocks with the stream into a barely thawed pool of water. She's also the girl I called one day when I was bored and offered to drive two hours and try out this new thing called "Bungee Jumping." We did although I can't remember why . The first year after my college graduation I found myself particularly low on pride.  First of all, I was a college graduate working as a sales clerk.  Too late I discovered that a bachelors degree in sociology is equal to a high school diploma and, in some cases, a G.E.D. and got you hired at JC Penney trying to upsale with a colorful scarf.  On top of it, I'd been dumped.  It wasn't that he was the love of my life.  In fact, it was quite the opposite.  He started planning the wedding aloud and I freaked out, pointing out that we'd only bee...

They Call Me Grace

I was nearly 8 years old when my baby sister was born. This was quite fortunate since I was well adept at reading. I was tired of my name. Nancy. So plain. The Sunday comics included a comic strip called Nancy. She hung out with her stupid little boyfriend named Russell, was very boring and cried all the time. Why would parents who love their child name her such a boring name? I assumed they had run out of originality by this point. I was, after all, their third child. There was Mike, then Suzy, after me they had Joey (short for Joanne) and finally Jene Marie. The "j" a soft French slur. It was fitting. We had a French surname. But clearly Jene Marie was their crowning glory. Do I hate for taking all the love from my parents and hogging it for herself? Of course not. She's my sister. She's my baby sister. But if I happen to feel the need to speak to her when she's at work, I always ask for her by using both names; Jene Marie (with the schwa). I don't want her...
