Anybody have an extra cardboard box for us to live in?

Cathy | October 15, 2009

I suppose since it’s been ten days I should post a little something.
Sadly, with the mood I’m in now, it might end up being less… positive than I would like.
Whatever, y’all know how I roll by now, right?
I had my yearly ob/gyn appointment on Tuesday, which was also a “let’s figure out just how fucked [...]

Pedophiles Should Go To Jail. Even The Ones That Make Good Movies.

Cathy | September 30, 2009

It’s not very often I feel compelled to write a rant, but this Roman Polanski business has me fired up.  Not the business of him getting arrested, because that is long overdue.  The business of people making excuses for him and defending his actions. I really cannot believe some of the things I read or [...]

A Twitter Rant

Cathy | April 23, 2009

I feel like I should start this post off with an apology to any new readers who are now surely thinking I’m incapable of writing a blog that isn’t a rant about something.
I am, I promise. Just not today.
I should have an Oh, Baby! post up in the next few days, but for now [...]

Enough, Already!

Cathy | April 14, 2009

I didn’t intend for my first real blog in like a week to be a rant – truly, I had other plans – but I read an article today about the new First Dog and I just snapped.
People, can we please leave the Obamas alone? Please? I’m begging here.
No, I didn’t vote for [...]

The Ex-Files

Cathy | March 31, 2009

Say it’s a Sunday afternoon and you are moping around the house because BSG is over and life no longer has meaning there is nothing else worth watching so you decide to check your bloggy email because you always forget, and you find an email from your ex-husband that you haven’t heard from in 10 [...]

I Think We’re ‘Bout to Have Words

Cathy | February 16, 2009

I’m talking to you, FedEx. I mean, seriously. Your entire existence is built on delivering the shit that people order to them in a timely fashion. Particularly when they have paid extra for the fancy fast shipping. Exactly twice I’ve made the mistake of ordering from a company that uses you [...]

Cowards & Bullies

Cathy | January 9, 2009

I suppose in some respects, they are one and the same. Pretty much all bullies are cowards, right?
Especially the person/persons threatening to blow up a bunch of little kids and teenagers.
When I wrote this blog, I assumed I was just telling you all about a crappy ass, albeit interesting, day I had and that [...]

Why I Didn’t Exercise Yesterday

Cathy | January 7, 2009

As far as excuses go, I would say this is a darn good one.
Parish Place readers will remember that we live in one of my Church’s rentals. The Church owns most of the block, which includes the land the school sits on and some rental properties.
Our rental is right next to the school, and [...]

So I’m Judgmental

Cathy | January 2, 2009

Dictionary.com defines judgmental as “inclined to make judgments, especially moral or personal ones” and defines judgment as “the forming of an opinion, estimate, notion, or conclusion, as from circumstances presented to the mind”.
Meaning, we do form opinions about people based on the way they dress, how attractive they are, how they present themselves, and [...]

Drowning My Sorrows

Cathy | November 22, 2008

I figured these last days of work would be hard, but I really couldn’t have imagined how hard. Tuesday I teared up at work a few times, so when I was getting ready for work on Wednesday I didn’t even bother trying to look good. Glasses instead of contacts, no make-up, and I left my [...]
