Girls Gone Wild in the OT
My parental guidance counselor, XFE is out of town for work this week, leaving Petunia and I to fend for ourselves once again. So, there’s been a lot of this: And this: And this: Actually, that last one is a big, fat, wishful creamy lie. Because even though XFE was also out of town for…

It’s Not a Fad If In Fact You Do Get Fit
My personal-trainer-for-eternity XFE is making me try new workout classes lately. He’s talked me into going to BodyPump a handful of times. Tonight, he’s got me doing some CXwork class, which sounds intimidating as all get out. (Where on my body is my CX located anyway? Are we absolutely sure it needs work?) We’re trying…

Weekend Gorging: When Petunia Wasn’t Looking
In between attempts to feed much-needed medicine to wiggly fur face residents, we celebrated the gift of life that is our cat by eating lots of good things, including these guys. When your personal chef for life wakes up on a Saturday morning and declares (while cleaning out the magazine holder stuffed with six months…

Two Things that Will Make Your Mouth Pucker: Thai Chicken & Property Brothers
My personal-chef-for-life XFE has abandoned me once again for a work trip. But unlike last time when he left me to starve (ie: feed myself like an adult), this time, he anticipated my inability to feed myself, and made this incredibly yummy Thai grilled chicken with hot-sour-salty-sweet sauce. It’s from a recipe in the May…

What I Do When XFE is Away
My caretaker-for-life XFE is out of town for work. He actually travels for work quite a bit. I used to get really annoyed about that. For some reason, I thought he was out, galavanting and having a grand ole time. But, I’ve travelled. I’ve been in an airport and dealt with long security lines. I’ve…

Some People are So Untrusting
Last week, in the spirit of true and honest love, I dedicated my 200th blog post to my life partner-in-crime, XFE. This was how he responded to that lovely gesture: From: Super important XFE Sent: Friday, May 04, 2012 9:53 AM To: Less important Poe Subject: RE: The Poe log I appreciate the dedication this morning. However I believe…

A Special Shout Out for My 200th Post
Today is my 200th post. Pretty exciting stuff. But also, kind of intimidating. I mean, it needs to be meaningful, right? You only get one 200th post. Unless, of course, you start another blog. Then, I suppose, you would get a second shot at a 200th post. Anyway, this is THIS blog’s one and only…

Weekend in Pictures
No weddings, but other shenanigans were afoot. I signed up for this race about two months ago. I thought it was on Sunday, but while ironing on Saturday, I saw a commercial for a new show starting on Monday, April 30. I thought to myself, “no, Monday’s May 1,” but when I went and checked,…

The Future Mr. Pickwick
Since we’ve gotten back from Australia, one of us (the male edition) won’t stop lobbying for a new pet. Seems my Outback-Jack-boyfriend-for-life, XFE is unsatisfied with the pet we currently house, feed and lavish with love. No, he wants a new pet. A different pet. An entirely more exotic creature. XFE wants a damn kangaroo.…
