Crazy Request

Hi world,
Can I have a day off?  Just a little one.  Like, no calls from clients weeping, and no calls from clients raging about their practitioners.  My google reader literally has 3000 items in it, including ALL OF THE FUCKING NEWS from the last four days.
Also, can we please stop announcing shit like this? When [...]

Doula is too a word!

Dear Microsoft Word & word-like programs that are not Microsoft:
Doula is too a word.  Please stop highlighting it — I’ve already added it to your internal dictionary.  I could understand you throwing a shit fit if I spelled it doulah, but I did not.
Also, you should go read my post on why I want The [...]

Gaytheists!

Hey,
So in addition to ignoring this blog for Dragon Age Origins (yum!) and my client list that seems to be ever growing (I’m free for March, but not sooner), I’m also writing over at Reed Braden’s new blog, Gaytheists.org, where I get to continue to expound upon such things as religion, sexuality, gender identity, feminism, [...]

Haircutting

I cut my husband’s hair yesterday.  It was kind of sexy and romantic.
I did pretty good for using nothing but a beard trimmer.  So that’s an extra $20 saved!  Whoot!  Also, it means Nick can have his hair cut every two weeks, which is really what he wants.  Crazy boy.
I realized that I have become [...]

Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma’am.

The husband and I are going through our books.  After cataloguing them, we discovered about 300 that we are getting rid of (selling to a used book store and/or donating to a library).  They are currently riding around in my car.
I was rear-ended by an older woman who then proceeded to flee the scene, almost [...]

There’s a masturbation month?!

May is apparently National Masturbation Month.  My husband’s response:
“Everyone’s going to pay attention to it for a month and then forget about it for the rest of the year”.
If that’s the case, you’re doing it wrong.

Just Say No

To abstinence-only sex education.
At least that’s what it seems like our fabulous president is doing.  We seem to be moving to “evidence-based” sex education (without defining what evidence-based sex education is).
This is promising.  Very promising.  I just hope states actually use this money to promote a comprehensive sexuality education.  Something more than “Just say no [...]

Ooohh… shiney.

So I had to chuckle just a little bit about this.
It just seems a bit like a money grubbing scheme to play off of people’s need to feel close to something that is meaningful to them.  I should go ask WTFWJD if there’s something in the bible that kind of prohibits cashing in on Jesus.
Also, [...]

I survived!

I survived Valentine’s Day!  I also managed, for the first time in a good five years, to not lacerate, cut, slice, give myself a concussion or otherwise cause bodily injury to myself.  My husband waited safely until today to let me know that I had managed this mighty feat.  I was quite proud of myself.
I’ll [...]

Break

For those of us not in some sort of customer service / salesy day job, Valentine’s Day is upon us.  I work as a florist at my day job, so I’m going to be absolutely swamped for the next week.  I’ll resume daily posting on the 16th.
