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.

Have you ever
checked out the tumblr pages of people with the same tumblarity score as you and realized every single one of them belongs to a teenager and for the first time in twenty something years felt something close to…cool?
I just fucked it up didn’t I? Is “cool” even part of the kids’ lingo these days? Aw hell…
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...

My new year's resolution
is to stop using the word “fuck” so often.
I’m just fucking kidding I don’t make any fucking resolutions
Commenting?
pvaras:
I really dig the people that I follow. You guys make me smile, laugh out loud, think, groan, move along, choke up, angry, etc. Now, it could be the alcohol talking, but sometimes I have the need to comment* on these posts, and I just don’t know how. Can someone enlighten me?
*This is motivated by something misscook posted. Please don’t tell her, but I secretly heart her.
Voila! :)

My heart on that post just now
was meant to say, “That isn’t weird at all, it’s beautiful. I see that it’s beautiful because I see what it means to you. I too have experienced the loss of a fur companion and know why you felt the need to post that.”
My hearts are wordy little bastards.
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,...

Happy birthday to Penbleth! I never learned Welsh — I barely have a grasp on American English — so I can’t say it in any other applicable language.
Also a happy birthday to Cloudya! I will eat cake in her honor. And not because I was going to anyway. STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT
Thank you!! :D xo I’m happy to be the reason for any cake eating in this world. Just don’t touch...
