Daddy Issues, Naked Heathens and Dirty Dishes

by Maria Melee

on March 23, 2010 in Playing House

My dad works out of town for several months out of the year. So when I see him I feel like I have to cram an extra huge amount of daddy issues into a concentrated amount of time. You know, the silently but desperately seeking approval thing? One of the ways I frequently fail at [...]

A-hole Invaders!!!

by Angie Pangie

on November 5, 2009 in Playing House

I’ve been dealing with un-welcomed house guests for nearly all of the 13 years I’ve lived in Orlando. Apparently, they’re coming up from the south. They are slowly creeping in from south Florida, taking over one house at a time, more and more each year. I’ve done extensive research about these invaders because I’m a [...]

on November 3, 2009 in Playing House

I am the proud owner of two verrrry cute kittehs! Cute until you get within ten feet of their litter box. And then? They are just like every other beast of the wild that should be left to poop in the great outdoors. But, I am a good pet owner….I clean that damn litter box, [...]

An Open Letter to a Husband X… who may or may not resemble my own

by Tena

on November 3, 2009 in Love Life

Dear Husband X, It’s not you, it’s me. Don’t get me wrong, some ladies might find pee dribble on the toilet seat horribly romantic.  Dirty talk like “let me clean your clock” may work for some.  It’s not that picking up your socks isn’t a HUGE turn on.   When you say”you look like a bag lady” in the yoga pants [...]

Weeds have flowers. Flowers are pretty. Therefore, my lawn is pretty.

by Angie Pangie

on October 27, 2009 in Playing House

I live in a neighborhood that can be compared to the one in the movie Pleasantville and one that WANTS to be as cool as the real one in The Truman Show. Manicured lawns, ticky-tacky houses, a town center. A TRUE planned community with a serious Property Owner’s Association. We’re lucky enough to have fairly [...]

I Slept In Dirt

by Meghan

on October 22, 2009 in Playing House

Not on purpose.  I wasn’t camping.  Or backpacking.  Or drunk. I climbed into bed last night and there was DIRT in my BED. IN MY BED. Inside my house. Seems as though my sandbox-at-school obsessed 4 year old decided that MY BED was as good a place as any to take off his shoes. Which, [...]

It’s a Sickness…A Bad One

by Meghan

on September 3, 2009 in Playing House

My name is Meghan…and I’m a Serial Project Starter. I can’t help it.  It’s like a compulsion. And the problem isn’t that I *start* so many projects.  That, in and of itself, wouldn’t be so bad.  The problem…is that I don’t finish them. My house is littered with half finished endeavors.  Half the wall above [...]

Why Freecycle Sometimes Sucks

by Amy Urquhart

on September 2, 2009 in Playing House

Over the last week or so, my husband and I have been spending a whole lot of time down in our basement. You see, we have a finished basement, complete with some mismatched furniture, as is common in a basement rec room. The trouble is, we’ve made it a habit to consider the basement of [...]

My (un)Decorated House

by Jenbshaw

on August 3, 2009 in Playing House

A little over a year ago my husband and I bought our first house. I can’t tell you how F-ing excited I was to finally live in a house, a house that I could do whatever I wanted to with. Oh, the purchases I made, my big-girl house was going to be like one in [...]
