About me:
- I am female, married, mother to two dogs and one cat and everyday I stare in wide-eyed wonder at how incredibly, indescribably beautiful this planet of ours is. Really, it’s amazing.
- Sarcasm is the language of my people, if you are not fluent, you may want to move along.
- I direct my lens inward as much as I do outward, so if I seem bitter and harsh towards others, you can bet I’ll also detail my own shortcomings.
About the blog:
I get very impatient with people who complain about some aspect of their life, but then never do anything to make the situation better. To me, it seems that there are only two options: Fix it or deal with it. Fixing the problem empowers you and enables you to move on. Dealing with it may seem like a cop-out, but if you can’t fix it, then you’ll just have to live with it . It’s not a perfect system, but as a goal it’s useful. No one wants to hear someone complain about the same thing day after day. If anything, this philosophy will make me less of a whiner.
You are truly amazing! I know you can write better than some of the authors I’ve read; I’ve known that since High School. Keep it coming! P.S. I like the word queue
Thanks for sharing this with me (with us…). I love it! What a way to start my day…was able to read it this morning while sipping my morning java.
I can hear the quiet snaps in the background as the lights dim…you are sitting on a stage – bathed in a soft light and moving us with your WORDS, man!
Cool, Daddy-O…
this is a quote from the personal e-mail I sent
“so FRIKIN’ creative, I just want to hurl!!”
Keep it comin’ sister!!
Love this blog. Fantastic. Thank you for putting me on your blog roll.
No, thank YOU! Always good to have a fan.
I think I’m in love with you(r blog). This is pure genius.
And to think, juice box wine brought us together. Open a Bandit!
Thanks for stopping by and especially thanks for the compliment.
juice box wine might be my new fav!
Next stop, tractor-pull!!
Love your writing style! I’ll be reading every new post – and laughing with you.
Thanks so much! That’s great to hear!
I’m really loving your blog, too and just seeing your header image cracks me up every time.
Alternatives to fix it or deal:
1. Write a good-bye letter to the problem and bury it in the back yard. If this doesn’t bring relief sell the house and the new owner inherits the problem which lingers in spirit form over the grave.
2. Download a divorce form, write the problem in the line where it says “respondent”, notarize it, flush it down the toilet.
3. Find another problem even worse and the present problem will evaporate, but if they ” double up” on you try a different alternative.
4. Pay someone to keep your teenage children until they are 37 years old. ( Cause of most problems).
5. Employ the philosophy “I am not letting this rent space in my head”.
6. Re #5 Charge exorbitant rental fee and problem becomes an asset.
#4 – no kids here, so that does keep my problems to a minimum!
Love the idea of divorcing your problems or charging them rent to occupy your head space.
Hi, nice to meet you !
i LOVE sarcasm. my mother says i love it a little too much, what can i say?!
Wait. Are you being sarcastic?
Thanks for stopping by! (I mean it. Seriously. Sigh.)
I found you via your excellent zombie poem on freshly pressed this morning and I’ve been digging your whole site. Great work!
P.S. Fix it or deal has been my mantra for years too
Thank you, Melissa! It is a great mantra, isn’t it?
This was a really nice thing to read, for a change. Blogging about one’s family is nice, but usually boring! Very happy I stopped by. This was refreshing. Love your Zombie Haiku! You are a pretty funny girl.
My family is kinda crazy, so I do blog about them occasionally, but this type of blog is so much more fun to write.
Thank you!
Oh, the crazy family thing. I could write volumes about that subject. Best if I leave that one alone. Or, maybe not. I might be inclined to tell a few stories about that someday when it’s not so fresh.

Hi there, glad I found you, another blog worth reading, in my humble opinion. BTW, in your “about blog” there’s a minor typo, you wrote “fit it or deal with it”. Freudian slip? Congrats on being freshly pressed, I look forward to reading more of your posts.
And of course you are cordially invited to stop by my blog, anytime.
Have a great day. Z.
Damn. Thanks for pointing that out. I just corrected it!
Love the idea of your blog and the wonderful Zombie related posts!
Thank you!
Nah, you won’t have this up here, “Sarcasm is the language of my people, if you are not fluent, you may want to move along.” if you really meant it!! Haha, I think I like ur blog sans the disclaimer.. Came here from WriterDood

I thought that my sarcasm was evident, but you never know, hence the disclaimer. Glad you stopped by!
Love your blogging style! Look forward to reading more of your amazing posts

Thank you very much, Kelly!
I love your philosophy. Adding it to my truths on my blog.. see right panel, if you want to, I mean.
Hey, I love to complain! I’m English, it’s the language of my people! Hell, it’s practically a sport…
Complaining in an authentic British accent is allowed!
Unfortunately I can’t do the accent. You should see the weird looks I get.
Patti at “A New Day Dawns” has a zombie post today with dolls and such
I have nominated you for the Liebster Award. See my post today and visit Cecelia’s blog later today.

You had me at sarcasm….. Really…. I’m serious… quit laughing…. I’m telling the truth…… I hope you won’t mind if I add your blog to my blogroll…. Have a great day!
Mind? Are you kidding me? Add away! My blogroll is woefully out of date. I need to clean it up and add/delete people.
Wait, you were serious about that, right?
I’m hoping you may enjoy this.
IF YOU LOVE ANIMALS, READ THIS!
If you LOVE animals as much as I do, I’m sure YOU WILL LOVE this website!
While it’s name is “Animals Don’t Think” they then post video after video after video proving the exact opposite.
All of the many, many videos they already have and the new ones they get nearly daily, not only prove all animals DO THINK, they think very, very well.
So, ENJOY!

Please, Take Care!

Just read your most recent post, dealing with flying the friendly skies with human remains. Smiled the entire time I was reading.
We may be related. Is dysfunction and black humor have a specific DNA molecule.
Dug the post -no pun intended- and subscribed to your blog.
Many thanks for the laugh and writing.
Many thinks to you, too! Dysfunction and black humor must be encoded in our genes somewhere. We are all members of an ancient tribe.
Thank you for reading and for subscribing!
