Stop and Smell the Dog

I get stuck in my head. Walking through the grocery store I forget my popsicles, not because my mind is busily calculating complex mathematical theorems that will save the world. No. I miss out...

What Happens When You Yell at Will Ferrell

I stick to the shadows—in and out like smoke through a fence or cockroaches in a bathroom. Lurking in the shadows I see no one, mainly because it’s dark, but mostly because I’m incognito. Head down,...

The Truth Has Set My Curl Free

My mother wouldn’t recognize me. I’m not that same shy little girl whose straight hair she used to put into two tight pony-tails. I’ve changed. Something has definitely changed—and it has changed...

The Turtle Whisperer

by Tonilyn, Tuesday, April 3, 2012, 4 comments

I’m a horrible test taker. This isn’t due to the fact that I didn’t study. I studied until my eyes went blurry. I made flash cards, took practice tests, and watched “Moonlighting” all in an effort to...

Sexy Time

Walking down the hall, I smell the vanilla. Curious. This is not a common scent emanating from our bedroom. Unless my husband is baking cupcakes back there, I can think of only one thing creating...

Blogged Down

Last week was a week. It was a week in the sense that it had seven full days and nights. It was a week in the sense that American Idol came and went. It was week in the sense that I managed to cook...

Spontaneous Vacationing

Sometimes I take a vacation from my husband. It usually happens under the cover of night. I find myself taking the dog and venturing in the quiet guest room. I cuddle up in the top trundle—thus...

My Face has Fallen and It Can't Get Up

by Tonilyn, Friday, February 24, 2012, 1 comments

Gravity is on. I know this for a fact. I’ve observed the signs in my kitchen. My Oreos fall to the ground--proof that gravity is working. I don’t need any more proof than that. I trust Newton. I...

Dirty Talk

I’d like my husband to talk dirty to me. Using my words, I’ve asked him if he wouldn’t mind catering to my request. He assures me he will, but he hasn’t tried yet. He won’t admit it, but I think it...

Saving the World: That Lucky Dog

Sometimes I do a good thing. I just can't help myself. Something inside takes over--I am forced to turn off American Idol and follow this strange instinct to wreak positive havoc. My usual uninvolved...

Male Pattern Blindness

by Tonilyn, Tuesday, January 24, 2012, 4 comments

My husband needs glasses. I’m not sure how to tell him. I’m afraid. I’m afraid he’ll slip into an immediate mid-life crisis, and honestly we just can’t afford a red Trans-Am right now. I had thought...

CLOSET SUPERPOWER

I have a secret superpower. Sadly, this superpower does not entail leaping over tall buildings in a single bound or owning an invisible plane. I would trade in my smaller less impressive superpower...

CHILD PROOF

by Tonilyn, Tuesday, January 3, 2012, 2 comments

I am not a child. I write in cursive. I drive a car. I toast Pop-Tarts. Clearly, I am not a child. However, there are days I need proof. Those three afore-...

The Transitive Property of Marital Fat

It’s not that I was bad in math, it’s just that I wasn’t good. I tried to understand how numbers related to sides of triangles, or squares, or X number of Tie Fighters, but my head just couldn’t...
