8 years ago today it rained. Not a huge downpour, but one of those consistently overcast days where the rain comes in waves. Where the air smells fresh and clean and the sky is that lovely pale dove gray with patches of white clouds. We were living out in Banks then and the 45 minute … Continue reading and I do…

I can’t fight this feeling…
I bet you thought I was going to make you watch a video of that REO Speedwagon song... you know the one. You've likely got it stuck in your head just from reading the title of this post... I know I do. But I think just suggesting it is probably enough cruelty for one post … Continue reading I can’t fight this feeling…
persona non grata
My kitties are now persona non grata. Seriously. Officially. The tests results are in and Mike is allergic to them. So I had Mike's doctor draw up all the documents to declare them unwelcome. Doctors can do that right? I mean really, if a ship's captain can marry people I don't see why a doctor … Continue reading persona non grata
two aprons and a garden gnome…
It's funny what your life boils down to. A few weeks ago Mike's grandmother died. It seems cold to put it so matter of factly. To state in a 7 word sentence the passing of such an amazing woman, but as my darling husband has pointed out on many an occasion, I'm cold to keep … Continue reading two aprons and a garden gnome…
consumer whore cami buys a toaster…
It has been at least 5 years since I've owned a toaster. If I had to guess I'd say it's been more like 13 because I can't recall having a toaster when I met Mike and I don't think he had one either. I'm guessing the last time I had a toaster was when I … Continue reading consumer whore cami buys a toaster…
and everyone
We all know that everyone dies. It's a fact of life. The fact. It's what makes us all human. Mortal. Real. That doesn't make its sting any less painful. Any less jarring. It doesn't stop you from missing someone that you love. It doesn't make knowing you will never see that joyous loving smile again … Continue reading and everyone
three by the sea…
This Summer vacation has been filled to the brim with NOT being on vacation. We've been swarmed with busies. Engulfed by the things to do. Inundated with important tasks... Well this weekend we said NO MORE! It's been a tough week. Mike's grandmother continues her trek to the end of things and that weighs heavily … Continue reading three by the sea…
today’s post brought to you by life
I had this big long post written up about something I did over the weekend but it needed some tweaking and a little touching up to keep me from sounding like a completely vacuous monster. I kid. But not about that. As I sat down to work on it and make my perspective more clear, … Continue reading today’s post brought to you by life
pop click bing tap tap tap and other irritating onomatopoeia
Oh hell babies, there is a huge disturbance in the force here at the house of Kaos. Did you guys know I used to be a barista? I was. I used to make people coffee... espresso... tea... variations there of. When I first started I drank a lot of espresso. A LOT. I've never been … Continue reading pop click bing tap tap tap and other irritating onomatopoeia
that’s why I couldn’t finish the laundry…
Laundry and I... we're like *this*... and when you picture the "this" please don't see me smiling and winking and crossing my fingers to indicate the total closeness laundry and I have. Instead picture me on top of a pile of clothing stabbing it brutally with a spear while dressed in some leather gladiator chick … Continue reading that’s why I couldn’t finish the laundry…
