Rocco of the Dead

We’re sitting on the couch, doing nothing particularly special, catching up on the DVR when suddenly Rocco starts taking rapid deep breaths with a look of complete repulsion on his face.

Me (slightly panicked):  What’s wrong?

Rocco (sounding like he’s taking a lamaze class in slow mo’):  Heeee.  Hoooo.  Heeee.  Hoooo.

Me (no longer panicked, but very confused):  What [...]

Doing the 'do

The New 'Do

Everything about getting your hair cut is seven zillion more times annoying when it’s short.  Blech.  I’ve got little teeny tiny hairs wreaking havoc inside my noes, ears…and bra.  Dead sexy.

So after having a slew of people fondling my follicles yesterday, I decided to go ahead and get this mop shaped.  I though [...]

Oh no he didn't

More Boxes

Yesterday all the shit we’d had in storage for the past six months was re-delivered to the apartment.  I really don’t know if it gets much more depressing than that.  I mean, it was one special kind of hell to re-assemble our furniture and unpack all the boxes that never even left the apartment.  [...]

Purchasing problem

Simone Summiting Mt. McCardboard

I think I’m making some progress on my mental recovery from the housing debacle.  Today I ordered a new dishwasher and unpacked an entire box of kitchen stuff before sobbing hysterically.  What a douche.  If I could still do math I’d run the numbers, but since that part of my brain is [...]

Beach Bumming

I’m sitting on a pastel plaid couch listening to the sea and breathing.  The only boxes I can see are those housing board games.  Every now and again a Frisbee flies above the top of the dunes and pops into vision.  It’s a nice break from the desolate wasteland that is our apartment.

And where’s poor Rocco?  [...]

All plans go boom

I really don’t even know what to say at this point.  I mean, I knew today would suck.  Today was the day of packing.  Well, technically it’s been the month of packing but today was crunch day.  With the closing only two days away and the movers scheduled for 9am on Wednesday, this was the day [...]

Slee pee

Today was my first chance to wallow in slumber for the past week or so.  Between all the housing booshit and preparing for and bonding with the family for Drew’s big birthday bash, I just got plum wore out.

Of course I’ve decided that I’m fully and completely recovered, therefore I can conquer the world.  I may have been [...]

Attorney angst

It’s still raining.  It’s obviously never going to stop raining.  Much like I’m obviously never going to find a frickin house!

Ohm.  Totally zen.  Sipping more beer.  Today while my marriage counselor (a.k.a. cleaning person) was doing his thing in the apartment, I decided to hit a bar.  That’s just what you do when you’re losing your [...]

Dislocating

We found a house…sort of.  Last Friday, we headed out to the Maplewood area for a marathon viewing of five gazillion potential homes.  As we were searching for our car on the streets of Hoboken (having forgotten, yet again, where we parked), I said to Rocco, “You know, I don’t promise we’re putting in an offer on one of these houses [...]

Lucy

Lucy is the younger of my two cats.  She’s also the dumber of my two cats.  The fatter of my two cats.  The more spastic of my two cats.  Possibly the more entertaining of my two cats.

This is the cat who sleeps draped over doors.  The cat who gets a nervous tick in her side and [...]
