I have a friend who finds the funniest, most out of control videos featuring people who I can only assume were too crude for even the people of Walmart websites. She’ll find these videos and post them up and tag friends in them. She knows there is no way we can just “scroll past” them…

A few days ago Lola and I suffered a personal crisis. The internet went out, leaving us without an Apple TV or Netflix to watch. No computers to putter around on. No games to play on our phone since our signal is so weak without the internet boosting it. The horror, the horror! So we…

Today I woke up at 11am. Now, I know what you’re all thinking – I’m the luckiest person in the world. And you’re correct in thinking that. Except, I was so flustered that it took me an hour to figure out what to eat. I mean, it’s 11am already! It’s well past breakfast, but seems a…

Lola and I have been studying the neighbors’ activities for the past week. Thanks to the 10 season spree we went on with Criminal Minds, we are both convinced there is a psycho killer in our midst and the only way to flush them out is to profile all of them. I’ve been monitoring when…

Thanks to the loss of cable, I’ve been binge-watching TV shows on Netflix. This week the show has been Criminal Minds. For the first four seasons I was all caught up in the excitement of this hotshot team of profilers catching monsters. They were jetting around the United States, shaking hands and kissing babies.

So everyone knows by now that the house we’re living in has tried to kill me multiple times in the past 3 years. Usually by electrocution (how I earned the nickname Sparky), once by stairwell (because, of course), and once by shower (I never blogged about it because it was too traumatizing). Well, the house…

Yesterday was the first day of what the Hubster is deeming “The Lola & Heather Adventures.” No work schedule, no Littles shrieking in delight/anger/frustration or pure unadulterated rage – no reason at all to even get out of our pajamas. Except no one else got the memo. By 0730 I had so many phone calls…

So, this is the longest stretch I’ve ever gone without posting since I started my blog 3 years ago – a whole week and a half. And in that short time, or really long time for those of you with addiction issues, I’ve managed to need an emergency room visit in the middle of the…

I now have a complete understanding of the faces I see walking out of Home Depot on the weekends. You know the faces. People have a cart full of items you can’t identify and their faces have that look like, “you fucking talk to me and I’m going to lose it” as they push that…
