I took a little break from answering complimentary emails about my new shoes to sign in here and report the latest news about my brakes.  The car has over 76,000 miles on it and the front brake pads are down to 20-25% and the rears are still at 70%.  Yes, the SAME brakes that came [...]

Matt has this friend, right? Listen to this. When my mom was like nine, she thought that clowns were born that way and she was scared that when she had kids they would be born clowns. Years after telling us this she now says that she was right all along and had three clowns. But [...]

Here is Matt’s answer to everything: “Maybe you have a fever.” As in, “I’m hot.” “Maybe you have a fever.” “I don’t feel so good.” “Maybe you have a fever.” “There’s a piranha swimming in the bathtub.” “Maybe you have a fever.” I’m afraid Hillary Clinton might be the next president. “OH GOD, NO! Maybe [...]

Matt is a caring, giving boyfriend. For instance, last night we were in bed talking about things, as couples do. The conversation started to get racy and then it leads to the mention of a threesome. Of course, don’t freak out. It was one of those conversations that’s just a “whatif” kind of thing. You [...]

This right here, what I’m about to tell you? This is the fundamental difference between me and Matt. We do this thing, right? Only everybody else in the free world is doing it. We stumble. That is, we use the web service called StumbleUpon. If you’ve never tried it, give it a shot. That is, [...]

But I didn’t come here and take over a post’s worth of Amisha’s blog just to send you to the google translation of someone in some other country linking here in another language (The untranslated page is quite [...]

Matt & I watched We Are Marshall, right? We rented it like, 3 years ago and I think it might be due back tomorrow or something so we decided we should probably get around to watching it tonight. Phew wee! Something died and crawled in my dvd player. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I’m [...]

About this asinine piece of evidence marking our further descent into hell, Matt says, “Let’s also make him enviro-friendly and have him eschew wrapping paper. Also, having reindeer is cruel and slave labor of elves is probably out now.” I couldn’t possibly agree more.

We discussed, you’ll recall, my devastating breakup with my therapist earlier this year. Well — I discussed it and you sat patiently — such good sports that you are. No, I’m still not over him. Time has not healed any wounds whatsoever. I know what “they’ all say and “they” are all liars. Nonetheless, today, [...]

If you’ll remember correctly, and I’m sure you will, last year about this time we went to the Northwest Washington Fair. It was great fun and we decided to give it another go. It was different this time though because last year the boys were but a wee 11 and 12 years old. This meant [...]
