More than death and taxes

The naked wait for your gynecologist

Taxiing for takeoff

Heartache

A mother’s lecture

Betrayal

The wait for his call

The wait for his text

The wait for his email

A Jack hangover

Weight loss

An opening band

An apology

December 24th delivery

Your period

A cold shower

The Law and Order franchise

Panic

The loss of your father

A thesis defense

Pregnancy test results

Homemade dough

The trip home from anywhere

Technical instructions

A bar bathroom line

American Idol auditions

The Blue line on a Saturday

The life of Dick Clark

 

Yours?

    A Blue line on a Saturday? Are you knocked up?? ;) ‘Cause the single mama in me would LOVE THAT!

    I do not love the naked wait for my gynecologist, but I would trade one of my kidneys to save the Law and Order franchise.

    Hope everything is OK with you.

    insomnia
    trying to piece the night back together after a blackout
    him calling someone else “princess”
    telling yourself things will be better when…

    i hate that paper gown – it’s so scratchy at the neck.

    I’m going to assume that these are things you don’t like very much.

    Being the positive (not really) person that I am, I challenge you to do one of the things you looooove.

    Kelly – I had a couple thought on where this was going as well, except the title regarding “More than death and taxes” would insinuate that these are things that are certain, or inevitable:

    -”You’ll find him when you least expect it!” advice
    -Foot in mouth
    -4,000,000 in DC
    -Haunted dreams
    -Sun coming up

    I took it as “Things you hate more than death or taxes”, but what do I know? I’m a dumn Texan (who happens to enjoy reading a good blog and realizes when they’ve found it!)

    Just re-read everything again, maybe things that take a long time or last forever?

    The call for an interview
    The apartment hunt
    The last box to be unpacked
    Hair long enough to wax

    i found myself holding my breath when i read some of those words. wow.

    lying to my mother
    the second before you sip incredibly hot coffee
    being stuck between two warring friends
    being late for something important
    traffic

    Wow. Am creating mine.

    Knowing the sexy black lingerie you bought her is being enjoyed by another guy.
    The time between a kick in the groin and when the message finally reaches your brain.
    “Let’s be friends.”
    The end of a good book.

    Daydreaming while coming to a crowded stoplight on my motorcycle realizing at the last second that I didn’t put my foot down to catch the bike…just happened this a.m.

    Arrogance.
    Cracked toilet seats.
    Walking uphill in the wind and rain.
    Forgetting the night before.
    The phrase ‘Cheer up it may never happen’.
    Black Pudding.

    Can I also add I love Kevin’s – The end of a good book.

    And here’s a thought. Why does a gynecologist ask you to get undressed behind a curtain when they’re gonna see everything anyway? Hmm.

    -People who use change in front of me in line
    -Screaming anklebiters in the restaurant
    -Slow drivers in the left lane
    -The plow driver who always seems to manage to come by after I’m done and stacks it all at the end of my driveway
    -Cell phone loud talkers
