Our Long 22-Day National Nightmare is Over!

I don't know if you have noticed what's been going on on WordPress recently but it's been big. It's the Internet though, you can't see what's going on behind the scenes. There's no way you could all know what has been going on behind the scenes here at Misc. Maggie. 2014 has been a tumultuous …

Doctor, Doctor

Play this if you want a lovely accompaniment to my post and to remember just how awesome the 80s were. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJcihcAR0q4 Some readers who have been around here from the beginning may recall that I had to stop going to the doctor in 2011 because she kept telling me that I was fat and had …

The Dinner Party Story

Years ago, March 2001 to be exact, Mitch (my ex-husband) and I went to a dinner party. A dinner party that I will never forget. A dinner party that could have been in a movie but  I would have seen it and thought, "no one would really behave like that." Back in 2001, our girls …

Reunion 2012: Fairest Theme of All Our Lays

Where did I leave off? Early on Friday night I had discussions that I clearly remember. I remember telling Eric, that he has grown into …

This is NOT a Post About the Hunger Games

Nor is this a dieting post about the Hunger Games like you're dieting so you're really hungry. I haven't seen the Hunger Games.  Annie saw the movie on opening night with a bunch of her friends. The movie started at midnight, they had already purchased the tickets, yet she sat in a theater seat for …

Tuck and Roll

Last night Deren the Coordinated and I went out to dinner at the Blue Moon in Northwest Portland. I had a couple of glasses of wine and a Communication Breakdown Burger and fries and some of Deren's fries. I've lost 10 lbs. I must reward myself. Portland had a touch of spring weather yesterday and …

Stupid Stories About Me

I've been trying a couple of different topics, a couple of different approaches, made a list, actually did some work, all in an attempt to think of something to write here.

The Fall

When the fall came, it was unexpected, violent and lasting. It began this past Wednesday. I had had my girls for a week straight, which is fine. I love them and we have fun, but they are 12 and 14 and that’s a lot of teenage estrogen-driven angst in one house for one week. I got home from …
