creepy in a good way
Aug 31st
ladytruth from the land of happily AFTER ever is giving out more awards, and this one comes with a writing assignment. The downside is that it has the creepiest picture ever.
Yes, that is Jackson (I’m still not sure if its a Mrs. or a Mr.) wearing a white glove, presumably because he checks for dust. With the caption, this is the first ever LOLJackson I’ve seen (“Ize eating your propofol, nom nomâ€).
**UPDATE**
It has been brought to my attention that I’m a dumbass and used the wrong picture for this. However, for all of you folks listed below, please use the correct one. More >
the interblags has strange people
Aug 28th
I promised myself that they day I hit twenty followers (today!) I would write about this. Since you twenty are open about your following of my little slice of crazy, I thought I’d expose the links, searches, and routes that other people have followed to arrive here.
Per Google Webmaster, here are the top search queries for people arriving at my site:
“worst side effectsâ€
OK, this one is understandable, since I did make an entire post with this title. However, this site is probably not what people had in mind when they typed that in. Unless Google is trying to tell people that More >
compelled to comment
Aug 28th
Since apparently everyone who’s just discovered what the Forward button in the email means, and they’ve decided to test that by sending me the same freaking list over and over, I feel like I have to offer some commentary on some of the list.
Sunny Side Up and Shine have also already commented on their favorites on the list. I’ll try my best not to duplicate their efforts. Unless I disagree, then all bets are off. Sorry ladies.
4. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
Who the hell cares? Roll it into a ball and shove it in your closet More >
worst part of the best time
Aug 26th
Ah yes TMI, we meet again. I wish better circumstances could bring us together, but yet we always seem to meet this way.
I’m going to keep this as short as possible. I don’t think you need me to fill in all the details of how this went down.
My last post was about how awesome my honeymoon was, and indeed it was as awesome, if not more so, than I described.
Our room was really, really nice; marble everything and a great view. As you can see in this picture of our four-post bed with the balcony in the background, they even made More >
part III: how we ate too much
Aug 26th
The Monday right after the wedding is when we went on our honeymoon. All things considered, we would have rather gone a little later, but after that week I’m glad we booked it for right after because we needed a break.
We got to the airport ungodly early, because they still tell you to be there 2 hours in advance even though it takes about 17 minutes to clear security this early. However, this did give me time to talk to the lady working the gate, and manage to get an upgrade to first class (score!) because of our honeymoon. After More >
bringing the commentary
Aug 19th
ladytruth over at happily AFTER ever has awarded me for always having something to say, which means I’m qualified to run for Congress.
I’d like to thank ladytruth and Jesus and my agent. It’s an honor just to be nominated, and I don’t really have a speech prepared.
Three mice fell into a bucket of cream. One mouse gave up and drown. One mouse struggled so hard he churned it to butter and climbed out, only to be eaten by a cat. The third mouse laid back, floated on his back, and drank a beer. Eventually someone came to get the creambucket, and he More >
part II: somebody’s getting married
Aug 19th
I love all things Muppets, and I would be lying if I said this song wasn’t in my head for the better part of the day.
After the rehearsal dinner, Fiancé and the bridesmaids all went to the hall to finish decorating it, then they all stayed at a hotel room together. So this leaves me, the groom, alone at home.
I wake up the next morning around 7:30, which for me is late because I’m normally up at 4:45. However, I don’t have much to do in the morning. Here is my entire to-do list for the pre-wedding:
- Be at the church by More >
part I: rehearsal dinner
Aug 18th
I’ve always thought the phrase “Rehearsal Dinner†sounded odd, as if everyone is practicing eating. I’ve never taken an etiquette class, but I’m still pretty sure I know how to eat fairly well. My very patient wife explained to me that it is in fact “rehearsing†the wedding, followed by a “dinnerâ€. I like this explanation more, but still I thought the name needed work. Since I was put in charge of creating the invitations for the event, I decided to change the name:
The Ceremony Rehearsal
and
Celebratory Dinner
in
Advance of Their Impending Nuptials
Yes, this was all on the invitation. And she More >
much tanner than before

big steps
Aug 5th
As part of TMI Thursday, I’m going to be sharing something that I haven’t yet talked about, with anyone actually. I generally don’t talk about this type of thing, because I can never find a good way to describe it, and then all my words just seem useless.
This Saturday, I’m getting married. That part you might know.
Before I asked Fiance to marry me, I called my grandma. My grandma married grandpa back during WWII, and they were married up until last year when he died. I told her I wanted to ask Fiance to marry me, and how did she More >
