Just Me: December 2010
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 10, 2010. I met a man on match.com, then promptly proceeded to have the worst date ever. Terry was so handsome that I found myself slightly mesmorized. I immediately said yes when he offered to take me jetskiing. He was striking, that one. Oh, and he lived with his mother. As our first evening together ended with plans for me to be at his house at 1:00 the next day, I took down the directions and went home, anticipating our day together on the water. Excuse the house.". Warped Teflon pan...

Just Me: Jim
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2009/12/jim.html
Thursday, December 10, 2009. So, I was married before. I am in a different life now, that other one seems like it happened to a different person altogether. It lasted almost four years - four years from "I do" to divorce, or, "I don't anymore.". I married a man who drank. This post could end here - I mean, why even bother to explain? It's obvious, isn't it, the end result of my alcohol-saturated marriage? His name is Jim (Or that could be. Just like that. On my own. I'd never been on my own before. I...

Just Me: June 2011
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 6, 2011. Ben's dead now, so I removed the water bowl from the deck and brought it inside, because, though some random bird or squirrel may have enjoyed a drink, it was meant for Ben. Only Ben. It's been two days since I found out and I haven't been able to bring myself to vacuum the hair he left behind on the couch. I gathered some of it and put it on the little ledge of my kitchen counter; when I remember to buy envelopes, I'll tuck it inside one and write his name on it. Mix in a small bow...

Just Me: Whew!
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2010/03/whew.html
Tuesday, March 16, 2010. The past couple of months have taxed me. Tell me, when is the last time you went through three highlighters in ten weeks - from juicy to crackly dry - and lit up a textbook like a Christmas tree? And one day I even had an out-of-body experience when I printed what I had completed of my research paper and realized that it was much more complete than I had thought it was. And then I wondered who had actually written all of that, because I did not remember doing it. Next term cut do...

Just Me: Balls
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2011/02/yes-balls.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. Balls," my daughter said. My daughter said balls, and it was the testicle kind. But now she's old enough to not only know what balls are, she's old enough to say them to her mother without batting an eyelash. I'm okay with that. Will be the day that you will address that issue.) Yeah, in my own mom-way, I, if not quite. Them, tried to embrace every aspect of child-rearing, pleasant or not. And that's because I knew the whole thing is fleeting. February 28, 2011 at 7:15 PM.

Just Me: Bummed Out
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-hate-to-say-that-im-not-in-control-of.html
Monday, August 2, 2010. Perhaps. But so the hell what? That's the way it is right now and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Yeah, yeah, I have a lot of blessings. Just because a lot of things suck at the moment doesn't mean that I've forgotten to appreciate what I do have. Of course I appreciate the good - I'm not a sociopath, for Pete's sake. And I'm really, really, fucking bummed out. August 2, 2010 at 7:58 PM. August 3, 2010 at 12:39 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Just Me: Done
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2011/02/done.html
Friday, February 18, 2011. Court: it's not just for kicks. It was our day there last week. A week ago Wednesday, David and I got up, saw Madeleine off to school, then went to court to end our marriage. It was weird. My baby daddy," she said. "I'm here all the time.". That morning at home after Maddie left for school, I told David that I felt like we should say something to each other. He said that he was sorry that things had turned out this way. Always the diplomat, David is. I'm sorry, too. This takes ...

Just Me: Why
http://lithachronicles.blogspot.com/2010/02/why.html
Thursday, February 11, 2010. I received a lovely anonymous comment on my post about Jim. Thank you for your kind words, Whoever You Are. Whoever You Are thought he/she would like to know why I married an alcoholic in the first place. As I think about it, I realize that the story is not complete until you know the prequel and the sequel. So here they are:. I know that it happens, but I could not see my way clear to that. And I really did love him. Things to people, work miracles? If he loved me enough, ma...
