Non Headed Chicken Parent

Brink…

I seem to like that word… enough that I believe I’ve use it more than a dozen times in the last few days.

Maybe I just need a vacation?

Ok… so I totally need a vacation… but besides that… again, I just really like the word.

Brink.

It’s Raining…

My phone rang pulling up a number I didn’t recognize. I normally don’t answer such a call and figure that if its important enough the person will leave a voicemail but something prompted me to hit the answer button.

“My name is Samantha (Sam) and I know this might come as a shock to you so please don’t hang up on me until I am able to explain because he did the same thing to me.”

She paused just long enough for me to tell her she must have the wrong number.

“Anne?”

My heart sank as I confirmed she had reached who she was looking for.

“I just spent the last two weeks in Kentucky where my best friend had a baby and when I came home I found all my things in a trash bag thrown in the back of his closet.”

Silly~

I know that most people would like to see everyone living in the country with a happy little relationship raising 2.2 kids with 3 cats and a dog…. Oh and let’s not forget about the white picket fence…

Isn’t that the ‘perfect’ life as described by most?

Yeah, not for this girl…

Ok… maybe not the geek pictured here… but put a man behind a multitude of monitors and suddenly the attraction level goes ‘over quota’…

Kiss Me…

My fingers felt numb as the shiver ran down my spine… my hands started to shake and I pressed them tighter together so you wouldn’t notice…

Stop Anne… Breath.

Balance…

The other day I wrote a blog filled with fun, humor, laughing and craziness. Right before that I wrote a blog about ‘What Matters’ in life… something a bit more simple and heartfelt.

Sometimes even I wonder how I can jump from one subject to the next and have them still come out like I want them to. Maybe the whole balancing scales of a Libra are coming in handy…

Then again… looking back it has taken me a long long time to learn how to balance my life… and not just when it comes to writing.

Chewing Dust…

Chewing Dust….

Have you ever woke up one day and felt the gritty taste of sand in your mouth? And no… I’m not talking because you decided to have a late night of drinking and smoking the night before… I’m talking the lonely… roll over to an abundance of pillows outlining the figure of a non existent body… thinking ‘its Saturday’…. and then realizing… “I have nothing to do.”

Girls wine night gets put on perma hold…. Planning of ‘girl’s night out’ or even just ‘a night out’ rarely exists anymore… and the actual thought of renting 10 Netflix movies and laying on the couch is at the top of your weekend plans list. Not that it’s a bad thing at times…. But after awhile… seems to feel a little ‘loser’ like.

Do you taste the dust yet?

Sign… Sign… Sign…

I found myself wondering what my last name would look like if it were ‘his’…. So I took out a blank piece of paper and started signing away…. Let’s try a little extra ‘curve’ in the first letter… no, maybe it needs a bit more flair on the end…. Trying to see how well it flowed and if it felt ‘right’.

 I filled the page…. Both sides.

It’s a devilish kind of smile….

The kind that’s warm and giving… yet evil and mischievous…

The kind of smile that keeps you guessing…

Makes you wonder what’s behind that quiet grin…

Intrigue Me….

One Hour…

One Hour….

It’s amazing how one hour of the day can go by so fast….

I sit at work for 8…. Clean, cook, bath, homework… you name it for another 3… sleep for 7… and who knows what I do with the other unaccounted for 6 hours of my day… but that one hour of each day… goes by faster than I ever imagined an hour could…

I start talking… he starts talking…
