The Good vs. The Not So Good

Posted under Being RSG, Everyday ramble, GLBTQ issues by Recovering Straight Girl

These things are good:

  • A win in the fight towards equality.
  • Receiving an A on the draft version of an essay, (meaning the professor said I didn’t need to submit a final version, the draft alone was worth an A.)
  • Saving money on utility bills!
  • Really sweet and supportive comments and e-mails from caring bloggers and friends all around the world!
  • Cocktail parties.
  • Not having plans for SuperBowl Sunday (which I believe is today.)
  • Maybe having a photo or two published in next month’s Curve magazine.
  • My wife doing all of the laundry :)
  • My super great kids.
  • My amazing partner.
  • New Blog Themes.
  • Apple MacBook.

These Things are Not So Good:

  • Meetings at Starbucks with your ex-spouse that end with him leaving and the barista coming over and asking, “Are you okay?” Further ending with the lady who was sitting behind you piping in, “I could tell he was a real jerk.”
  • Lawyer bills. See above.
  • Incompetent lawyers who cause the above.
  • Having your nose piercing come out, resulting in the jewelry being put back in, resulting in pain.
  • Emergency vet visits which require a tube and stitches in your dog’s butt.

Overall, I can see that this was a week that the good definitely outweighed the bad; and seriously, I need to be grateful that I’m not the one that has a tube in my butt, (although having Ginger whine and be pathetic all day is quite painful itself.)

Ginger’s tender state is requiring that we sit at home all day to watch over her. Doesn’t that sound awful??? I think we’ll find something to occupy ourselves all day, maybe play a game. Or something.

Happy Sunday!

The first day of a memorable, groundbreaking, celebration filled week for all Oregonians; especially those who will be pledging their love and commitment to each other!

Cheers to all of you!

  1. Lelo Said,

    Oh poor Gingy. That is the most pitiful photo ever. Wink sends licks and get well wishes. As to the rest…..yes, it’s a wonderful week to be grateful. And a week or more of celebration to come! Yeah! I like the new theme. It’s fancy pants. Orange is the new black.

  2. Tricia Said,

    I’m liking the new look! Light and airy… And can I just second the notion of being grateful for not having a tube in my butt.

  3. Tricia Said,

    Oh, and forgot expecting to see more photos of domestic partnership filing! Congrats to Oregon!

  4. Lisa Said,

    I love the new look. Poor Ginger’s picture wouldn’t come through for me today, but she has my sympathies anyhow.

    Yay for wonderful partners that do all of the laundry but boo on the asshat of an ex-husband.

    Pictures in Curve? Wow. Most excellent!

  5. Patri Ann Said,

    i love the new look. i would love if someone would do my laundry. i feel for the puparoo.

    oh, there’s football on today?

  6. SassyFemme Said,

    Oh that poor puppy baby!

    Congrats on the A! Good for you!!!

  7. witchtrivets Said,

    Poor Ginger. Apparently this is a good week for gays and lesbians in Oregon but a bad week for dogs.

  8. Lachlan Said,

    Pictures in Curve?! Details, woman!

    Poor baby dog. What happened?

    Love the new look, too. Very chic.

    So when’s the big signing of the DP/celebration for you and HG? Inquiring minds and wedding gifts, and all that. :)

  9. Tracey Said,

    1. Considering that the ball is hardly ever kicked, I don’t know how you call it football.
    2. Having a spouse that does laundry should be a prerequisite in any relationship. (Even if said spouse has great breasts.)
    3. A dog with a tube up it’s clack is a little bit sad, and it must be said, a little bit funny, poor Ginger.
    4. Photo’s in Curve, faberoonie.
    5. Jerky ex-husbands, not so fab.

  10. Tinder Said,

    Is that a doggie martini?

  11. wenkars Said,

    Yay for steps towards equality! I have to say that the moment I found out, I thought of you and HG. And congratulations on all your other great news.

    Hope Ginger feels better.

  12. fairydogmother Said,

    Aww, I always think dogs look so adorably pathetic when they have to wear cones. I hope she feels better soon!

    Congrats on the possible publication of your photos. How exciting!

    As for jerky ex-husbands, hopefully karma will catch up with them sooner or later. Preferably sooner.

  13. The Q Said,

    Moto wants to come up and give Ginger kisses & scare the crap out of your Ex, is that cool?

  14. Wacky Mommy Said,

    Love the space dog; hate the ex’s.
