No Longer Temporary

Chateau del Mulsoff (CDM) is pleased to announce a vacancy in our ranks.  As of June 11, The Mrs. will no longer be a temporary housewife. 

Finally, after over a year of searching for full time, permanent work, we're happy to announce she has accepted a job with a local company to help out with their environmental compliance.

We at CDM are excited for the opportunity to get Lori the heck out of the basement, where she's perpetually cold, rarely exchanges her pajamas for normal clothing, and wears glasses with only one lens. 

You may have some burning questions, so CDM put together a F.A.Q. to meet your burning needs, so stop with all the burning.  There is a cream for that.

1. Where is she going?
We will not be relocating, but she will have a 30 minute commute.

2. What exactly will she be doing?
The details will become more clear, but as of right now we understand she will be the holder of the key of power for the universe, and has been going through a series of biological upgrades to help her in her new position.

3. Wow, sounds intense.  How is she holding up?
Her bulging muscles are making clothing choices a little difficult, but she's managing quite fine.  It's the laser beams that spontaneously burst from her pupils that make that one lens difficult to keep in place.

4. The lens of her reading glasses can withstand a direct hit from her laser beam eyes?
Apparently, yes.  Kudos to Target for such resilient generic spectacles.

5. Any other major changes?
She is considering going blonder, appointment scheduled for Thursday.  Other than that, just try not to be surprised on the faint glowing aura, increased muscle mass, the levitation, and of course, try not to look her in the eyes until she can figure that whole thing out.

5. How is the kiddo and husband adjusting?
It's pretty cool for them.  Dependable salary, decent benefits, and no need to ask for help when moving furniture.  Wall patching has been a pain due to the burn holes, and poor Bandit was singed once, but otherwise, they love the prospects the job entails.


Any further questions can be directed to us, Proprietors of Chateau del Mulsoff.  We imagine that the frequency of her posts will remain about the same, maybe every other week.  She still lives in a house, and is still a wife.  And a mom. 

Supremely, blessedly normal.

Bullies

When you are in the moment, it is hard to imagine anything more heart wrenching than holding your child when she cries about being bullied.  What is more heart wrenching?  Knowing it is your fault. I've gone through life with my fair share of bullies.  Sometimes it was because I was flat out weird.  But most of the time it was my size.   Even when I wasn't even heavy, I considered myself fat and some of my peers agreed.  They agreed so vehemently that they decided to remind me of my size, especially during gym class.  Later in life, in my 30's, I was actually mooed at.  Seriously.  And it sucked being made fun of because of my looks. However.  One of the glorious parts of being 41 is that you just don't give a shart about what people think of you anymore.  Yes, I'm fat.  I have blue eyes, brown (going silver!) hair, and I am medically defined as being morbidly obese.  I try to remedy that diagnosis because...

Cruising Part 2: Vancouver

Let's start with our port city of Vancouver.  We had the best taxi driver who doubled as a tour guide, giving us the ultimate scoop on Vancity.  The place was just beautiful and green and reminded me a lot of good ol' Wisconsin but with slightly cooler architecture and way better weather.  Sure, it gets pretty gray and rainy during the winter, but with very mild winters and summers?  Sold. Well, not exactly.  Apparently you have to be in the 1% to live there.  Even small houses in the area are a million smackers. I took some pictures of this lovely city.  So buckle up!   Here is a wastebasket.  Why did I take a picture of a wastebasket?  Because they have a compost bin ATTACHED.  How forward thinking, Canada! This was a tasty Canadian beer.  It was some sort of a pale ale and I recall enjoying it very much. This is my daughter and MIL laughing together, which marked the beginning of a very good vacation wh...
