NaBloPoMonopoly


26 days of blogging and a holiday weekend behind me, I am feeling the NaBloPoMo drain. Today I take Mr. Moneybags from the clink to the bank with this Get Out of Jail Free card.

See you on the other side of GO, where I can assure you I will not be collecting $200.

    You need to get the new monopoly game and collect $2 million dollars. Now, that is worth getting out of jail.

    It is only 4 more days. Really only 3 days, because today is almost over and you posted today. Then it is off to December with no requirements of posting everyday and only the joys of the bustling holiday season.

    Hang in there.

    woman,

    you are SO almost done.

    it's been fun (sorry) to watch everyone try and deal with this, and what is the most amazing part is the sense of honor and integrity - you keep going, because you said you would, even if it's driving you crazy.

    i love that.

    You made it to 26 days before having to use that card.

    Good for you. I would have pulled it out at around day four.

Three Hours

It was the same damn sky. I left the driveway in my car as a fusion of Over the Rainbow and What a Wonderful World came on the satellite radio. The overall effect of high blue and a gentle warble atop the ukulele should've inspired something like contentment, but instead I listened closely to the lyrics for a meaning I could relate to. It was right there. I didn't have to wait long. The wonderful world over the rainbow is a dream. Before I got into the car I watched a ceremony and fed the baby. Then I drove to book club, where a group of us sat for two hours discussing things like organic food, the ubiquitousness of corn , and too many roosters in my friend's coop. Afterward I tooled over to the gas station to put $55 onto my credit card for transmittal to the Gulf. Soon after my day began--at home, while the baby ate, at ten till nine--a young woman was reading the As on the alphabetical list of victims from the Twin Towers. Z did not come till I returned home, ten minut

Shiny Happy People

I have a friend who reads this blog and is, understandably, surprised by the community of commenters that many mutha bloggas elicit. "You've got some enthusiastic supporters out there, huh?" Boz mentioned over lunch this past weekend. "Um, yeah, I guess you could say that. That's how we mommybloggers are. Supportive. Enthusiastic. Yup." And so I got to thinking, not just about my own blog, but about this momosphere in general; and how sunshine, in the form of bright rays of light being continuously blown up people's asses, can get to be cloying. You must know what I mean. Those long rows of comments all praising the hilarity, or the eloquence, or the heart-wrenchinging-ness, or the yes-yes-that's-exactly-the-way-I-feelingness of a given post in a given blog. I've written my fair share of those comments, don't get me wrong. In those cases, that's the only way I can convey how powerfully someone else's words affected me. With some blog

Who Does Number Two Work For?

The Boss will soon have an underling. Barring unforeseen contract disputes or better offers from more prestigious employers, Number Two will begin work sometime around April 22. We're flexible. The Boss strolled in nine days after the agreed upon start date and nobody batted an eyelash. It's a laid back work environment. [Note: If you are not familiar with the theme and naming conventions in this blog--or if you've forgotten, given my 3-month hiatus--here's a recap: The Boss : Our two year old daughter and one of the youngest Johnny Cash impersonators in the USA The Partner : My long suffering husband. It's very difficult being married to me, you know. Me: A work-at-home mother and writer. And, now.... Number Two : Our second child, currently in fetal form, expected to make his or her grand entrance in less than 7 months.] In preparation for Number Two's arrival, I've been hording sleep via daily afternoon naps scheduled during a block of time usually rese
