New Year's Eve
I just went downstairs to get the Netflix movies out of the mailbox in my flip flops. My husband is cooking up chili dogs. I’m wearing my pajamas at 9pm. We have plans to play Xbox after dinner.
Yes, this is vastly different from the wild, raucous binge partying we partook in last year. But I’m home, and I’m happy and I’m warm.
Life is good.
Whatever you guys are up to...

Me and My Homegirl Gloria Gaynor
My husband does web design work in his spare time. One of his clients lives down the hall from us - a tall, leggy blonde with a pert little, ahem, giggle. About twice a month my husband grabs his notepad and work files, kisses me goodbye and then heads down the hall to blondie’s apartment for about an hour. I close the door behind him, turn around, and get back to whatever I was doing. ...

The Last Word
Literally. I literally just typed the last word of my book. The last word, the last sentence, the last line. I put it down on internet paper and I hit “save”. And then I got all teary-eyed. And then I went and took a shower.
I’m not done. I still have a ton of edits and re-writes and fixes including removing a character that I decided halfway through I didn’t need and just...
apricotica:
I love drinking red wine with people in the winter time, cos everyone’s lips are chapped all to hell, and they absorb the pigment of the wine in a dark, gnarly-looking ring that dances around their teeth when they talk in an entrancing and horrifying manner. Every person sort of takes on a zombie-ish aspect, evolving further with each successive glass into a cheery, grotesquely...

“I got rid of all my Colin Firth movies in case they consider them erotica.”
– Liz Lemon, 30 Rock (via emilykay)
Total girl-squeal moment when I heard this line on the show because to me, they are ALL erotica.
XBox Live Anyone?

Up until now I’ve not felt the need to get Xbox Live, but with Netflix streaming and multiplayer prospects with my brother and friends, mommy and daddy got me a year of it for Christmas.
So if you’d like to strike up some Modern Warfare 2or other games, or just be friends in yet another online community, my gamertag (did I say that right?) is JephKelley.

My ugly little problem
I don’t tell people I have a drinking problem because I don’t feel like I have a drinking problem. It’s not like I lie awake at night craving alcohol. I don’t hide bottles of vodka around the house and I never drink alone. I go for months at a time without drinking and I’m fine during these periods. My problem isn’t that I’m addicted to alcohol. My...

Making a Pierre
Every 6 months my husband and I convene and have The Baby Summit. It goes like this:
Him: You ready?
Me: No. You?
Him: No
Me: Okay I call this matter tabled for another 6 months. See you in December.
Done and done. It’s a no-brainer. I’m not the mother type. I can’t even remember to put deodorant on every morning. I have to keep a spare one in my desk at work.
This month,...

Did you guys know...

So I wrote this story for today’s paper about how gay and lesbian people struggled with family issues around the holidays. Note the kindhearted comments many people posted at the bottom of the story. Really shows how the milk of human kindness flows through all our veins.
I know you meant to show us the comments, but I’ve chosen to focus on your story, which was moving and...
"Single Man nude scene"
You know how sometimes you’re at work and you have a few spare minutes and you start thinking about Christmas and remember that A Single Man starring Colin Firth opens on Christmas day and that you have plans to go see it with your best friend on opening day because he’s your BEST FRIEND and he does that kind of shit for you even though the way you sold the idea to him was in an e-mail...

Sigh with cynicism, then roll eyes, then Smile, then roll eyes cynically, then smile, then frown, then sigh knowingly, then smile, then cry … happily.
Yes, I’m reblogging myself. Yes, I think I should. No, I don’t care if you don’t normally watch videos on here. Yes, I think it’s worth watching if you never did the first time I posted this 4 months ago.
Aww, you...
