A Career in Moonlighting

Hello, little darlings!

Since our relationship began in 2008, Habibi and I have had phases in our monogamous relationship where we allow one another to find love outside of the marriage.

No, you freaks, I am not talking about cheating!  I am talking about television, of course!  We are very happily married, thank you very much!  (Be looking for our book to hit shelves at your local Borders.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!)

Anyway, in 2009, I introduced Habibi to my all time favorite TV show:  Arrested Development.  We laughed ourselves silly with the Bluth family.  In 2010, we fell in love with agents Mulder and Sculley from The X-Files.  (The truth is out there.  Trust no one.)  As 2011 draws to a close and we all take a moment to reflect back on the year, I am compelled to mention one of our two most recent loves:  Boston Legal.  We are currently in the second season and are thoroughly enjoying our relationships with Alan Shore and DENNY CRANE (to be read aloud - with gusto!).

Now, this is a long intro for a post that has nothing to do with Boston Legal.  However, it was in an episode that we watched last night that I had a revelation:  regardless of what I do in the day, I want to have a moonlighting job on the side.  (Melissa on BL did some "moonlighting" as a night time companion/watcher for Alan, who had night terrors.)  Of course, I don't want to sleep in any bed but my own and I don't want to do anything icky, but wouldn't it be bad ass (and fun, but mainly just bad ass) to have a side gig fighting crime?  Or how about being a mysterious vigilante, upsetting the corrupt powers that be?  Too bad that all the people who do those things in the real world are all such weirdos.  Alas, I will have to settle for "sunlighting" as a secretary who is suffering from a lengthy bout of writer's block (again) on her blog - the one domain over which I supposedly have total control.  Ha.  Ha.  Ha.  (Not.)

As the novelties of blogging and running are beginning to wear off, I am searching for another "new" thing.  Of course, this does NOT mean that I will stop blogging or running by any stretch of the imagination, but I want to find another piece of "new" for my life...glass blowing, playing the piano, inventing a new formula for mixing concrete....  Knowing full well that the novelty of the next new thing will eventually wear off too, I run the risk of developing a disappointing habit.  Eek!

Anyway, that's really all I have to say today.  It's a stretch, but it's all I've got!

Have a fantastic weekend!

  1. You have two most recent new loves? If BL is one, what is the other? IT BETTER BE RON SWANSON.

Navigating Summer, School, and COVID-19

Guys, it has been awhile.  What can I say?  I just haven't been feeling inspired.  I know, I know...  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to discover that I am almost never  inspired; you can find evidence of this conclusion by reading any one of my past posts.  Seriously, just pick one.  But really, it has been busy around here.  Since March, we have been homeschooling both kids.  Part of this was mandated, of course, when everything shut down earlier this year.  However, since we were having growing success with taking charge of our kids' education this spring, we decided to run with it and continued with certain elements of school through the summer.  We will be full on homeschooling for the coming year because our public education system has turned into an absolute cluster.  This is going to be such a throwaway year anyway, so yeah.  We're "those people" now.   Who knows?  Maybe this year, my daughter has...

Brain Barf #4: Senior Citizens, Italian-Americans, Dreamboats, and Tap Shoes

My neighbor sent me this last night: In five years, J.Lo will be getting discounts at restaurants and movie theaters because she will be considered a senior citizen.  And she will still look like that.   YOU GUYS I SAID J.LO IS ALMOST A SENIOR CITIZEN.  SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING. Meanwhile, I look more and more like this every day: My friend MoMo was invited to play pool with a friend of hers today.  She told me about it, which is free license for me to post it here. MoMo (and her friend): Anouchka: In her friend's defense, he has only been in the U.S. for about 18 months and apparently thought that an "Italian-American" would be a rare and exotic treat. I'm been pestering Habibi lately to spoil me and praise me and tell me I'm a rare and divine treasure more often, but it hasn't been working.  I'll send him text messages periodically, featuring my face,  looking putrid fr...
