happy effing holidays.

Things are literally — and figuratively — falling down around our ears.
Figuratively falling? Bobby’s officially leaving his company. There’s nothing like getting a phone call from your husband that goes like this:
Bobby: Uh, sweetie?
Me: What?
Bobby: So I have some news…
Me: WHAT?!?
Bobby: You know the paycheck that went into our checking acct last week? Yeah, well, [...]

share, please?

So the universe and I are working through it. We still have issues, but we’re kinda stuck with each other, so we’re making it work. Bobby’s company’s insurance verified that they’ll cover the loss, even if our homeowners doesn’t…  it’s a gigantic relief  (although I’m still thoroughly annoyed with All.State).

He trots out into the kitchen, and then stares at me. Then goes out the doggy door for a few minutes, comes back in, and stares [...]

A rant… just a little one, promise

I’m back. Thanks for all the comments about the Beaufort pics… wish I were still there. Sigh.
