Chairwoman of the Floor

Yep, I’ve fallen through a chair. Twice!

Fun fact: Charles Darwin added wheels to his laboratory chair, in order to be able to move freely and have easy access to his tools and paper. Isn’t that creative?

It’s Sunday (family day, as my dad calls it) and we’re circled around a table playing board games, one I made and a classic: Monopoly.

We were having a good time when all of a sudden, I dropped from sight. If I had been in any other chair, this might have been funny to watch.

Rip Between The Lines

Dear Diary,

Today I ripped another shirt.

Today’s topic is one that I hadn’t really thought about until today when I tore a brand new shirt–and I’m talking brand spanking new! I got it last night, washed it and put it on when I got up. Four hours later the shirt got snagged on the corner of one of my cabinets.

I went to the store specifically for a couple new shirts because I’m always constantly wrecking mine. Two days ago I picked up one of my cats and her claw got stuck. I didn’t notice tha...

Recipe Disaster

June 4, 2018

Dear Diary,

I tried a new recipe today and somehow managed to fudge it up. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a recipe for fudge or I’d be okay. I don’t know how I keep doing this!

I’m trying to get healthy, and if that weren’t a battle in itself I have to add cooking. I’m not a bad cook. No, I swear! If I’m truly being honest, my impatience has dishonored many recipes, though.

For some reason, when I try a new recipe and follow it exactly I seem to mess up. Today’s menu was mac and cheese...

‘Waiter, there’s been a mix-up’

I’ve never rushed to the bathroom so quickly in all my life. After going to the movies, we decided to go out for dinner, my friends and I. Well, I really wish we hadn’t.

If you know anything about me, aside from the fact that I’m extremely accident prone, it’s that I’m a vegetarian, bordering on vegan.

Side note:

Vegetarian = no meat (no fish)

Pescetarian = no meat (will eat fish)

Vegan = no animal products whatsoever! 

So, every single restaurant we go to I have to be careful. Since realizin...

‘Crime Scene’ Cleanup

I don’t know how I get into these situations. Regardless of the why’s, here’s the how…

We have a pantry that I couldn’t walk into, and it was driving me insane! So, a little early spring cleaning was added to my to-do list, and because I’m so particular it took me all day, practically. It’s not the biggest ‘closet’ but it has four L-shaped shelves. Put it this way: two people can walk into the closet with no elbow room.

I pretty much took anything on the floor and tossed it out of the closet...

Accidentally Going Vegan

My plan, back in January of last year, was to become a vegetarian. I thought I did the right amount of research. I’m a very picky eater so it was imperative that I do it right. I mean, vegetarians live off of beans and soy, and other equally unappealing ingredients, right? I can’t stand either one of those two foods. My worst nightmare would be the doctor telling me my body can’t handle being a vegetarian.

I don’t want to eat animals. I have nothing against people who do. Do I like it? No, bu...

Burns and Beautification

This one’s for the ladies (mostly). Of all the products and tools we have for our hair the curling iron is the one that always seems to attack me. I don’t know about you, but every other time I pick up that thing I somehow manage to burn myself.

I don’t burn myself in the same spot every time. You’d think I would burn my forehead, right? Well, yes, I’ve burnt that part too–several times. I’m talking about the other times where I miss my mark and burn my the edge of my ear, or my thumb or any...

Blisters in the Sun

Sorry I haven’t written in a while. The flu is going around and I was one of the unfortunate souls to be taken down by it. I’ve been wanting to tell this story for over a week.

You can’t tell a child that they’re allergic to the sun and not have them look at you like your head is shaped like a tube sock. It doesn’t make sense to the little one, okay? Take it from me.

I’m allergic to the sun, as my doctor would say. Actually, I can’t tell people that without them looking at me sideways, either...

Wring Around the Housie

One of my New Year’s resolutions was ‘less stress’. Apparently, the universe does not get their memos, because it is day 2 of the new year and my washer decides to quit wringing out the clothes! Well, it’s not mine. There are three of us in the house and the washer belongs to the other two.

Anyway, I need clothes and I need them tonight for work. I also need a towel to shower for work. Oh, this story is a fun one, let me warn you. No accidents, but entertaining.

Stubborn me, decides that I’m...
