In which I go all the way off. The night he got back from Colorado, Mr. Brett and I talked about our goals as a couple. I said I can’t stand our lives any more and that I’m literally going nuts with things the way they are. I said I need to move somewhere where […]
In which I see a Taco Bell commercial on TV at the bar and succumb. Last night Brett and I stopped after work at the Dead Cock for a bit. I chatted with Hattie, who was bartending, and Rachel, who dropped in briefly and told me about a new game she and her boyfriend had […]
Being an exhaustive report spanning four entire days, plus this morning. Friday Friday I did domestic shit: laundry, dishes, shopping, cooking, dusting and sweeping. Housewifery is boring and it sucks. We were going to go out Friday night, but Redbone fell asleep for a nap and didn’t bother to wake back up. Since he works […]
In which I’m a wee bit confused. Yesterday I did boring domestic stuff. In the evening, I made dinner. Then I ate. Brett wasn’t home, so I went upstairs and got on the computer and spent nearly 45 minutes trying to pay for his contractor’s insurance online via a slow, buggy site. When I went […]
In which I’m rescued. Last night, Brett actually wanted to do something. We went to town and spent a few hours at The Red Rock tavern (we call it the Dead Cock because it’s such a nasty bar). Ed was having a going away party and there was nothing else to do. I had a […]
In which I buy some clothes. It’s 2:25 PM, and I’m sitting in front of the computer in my office. Brett’s asleep naked in the day bed. “Wake up! Wake up!” I call. “Let’s go to Ottumwa and eat, and go to Target and buy me some clothes.” Downtown Ottumwa, Iowa He said, “Mm hmm,” […]
In which Brett returns a whole day early and I reveal to him that I have a boyfriend named Manhattan. Brett rolled in around midnight last night, woke me up and ravished me. Then we stayed up ’til three in the morning having A Big Talk about our trips and our life together. It’s so […]
Forty-five minutes ago, at eleven-thirty in the morning, I went downstairs to suggest to Mr. Brett that we go to Paul’s Discount in Iowa City and buy him some clothes, and then maybe go eat something or see a movie. I had to wake him up from his position on the couch in front of […]
It’s rainy and overcast. I’ve been washing throw rugs, sweeping and dusting, tidying. I also de-cobwebbed, which is something of a gross job but important when you live in an old house in the country. Spiders fled my cleaning wrath. I found a toad under the coffee table and carried her outside. There is no […]
Ten cute things about my beloved: 1. If he hasn’t seen me in more than, say, twenty minutes, he greets me by yelling, “Mmmmmushlette!” 2. He almost always helps me put the groceries away. 3. He likes to cuddle. 4. I get more fantastic, awesome foreplay in a month than all the rest of you […]
