Daisy Fae Who?
After experiencing a year of mid-life joys and atrocities, it was time to speak… or write. She’s no one special, really. Just another mid-40’s, midwestern, mid-management woman on a mission. After 20+ years in a pleasant, but ultimately failed, marriage — although the children are rather spectacular — she finds herself restless, hungry, and occasionally cranky. This particular venture shares her experiences in the past (and present) as a product of a virtual trailer park…

well howdy there miss daisy fae. I can see we have a lot in common. perhaps we should join forces and conquer the world
January 3, 2008 at 7:05 am
nm - i do believe we could conquer the world. as a minimum, we should at least join forces to conquer penfold
January 3, 2008 at 8:29 am
if you guys do conquer the world, can i be one of your minions? sounds like a great gig (hey nursee, not stalking you, really! just saw that daisyfae put her blog address in a comment on your site and I wanted to check it out).
January 3, 2008 at 4:46 pm
tony - minions are cool, but i tend to empower mine! from the quick read of a few entries, i think you’re up to the challenge! for starters, we can put you in charge of ‘revenge of the servers’ - where you take all evil restaurant customers into nursemyra’s chamber of ‘not so delightful’ delights…
January 3, 2008 at 4:57 pm
yeah tony. you can even use the instruments on them once you get them in
January 3, 2008 at 5:32 pm
i am so the man for this job…women, revenge, instruments, what more can i ask for?

Heya Daisy
Nice to meet you lady. I like to tip the bottle too. No worries though, I’m a happy drunken blogger.
January 5, 2008 at 5:11 pm
UW - Welcome to The Park. I think you could have some serious fun here… Happy drunken bloggers very welcome!

Howzabout a recent comments widget, so that when people (okay, me) stop by they can see at a glance if there have been any new comments made.
Oh, and fancy a a global conquering triumvirate including the lovely nurse?
January 12, 2008 at 5:15 am
As it happens - I could do with a damn good conquering… x
January 12, 2008 at 8:19 am
welcome to the park, penfold! there are no surfable waves here, but we drinks a bit… and the good nurse and i seem to have a lot in common, including an apparent penchant for ex-pat artist construction working former-DJ surfers
She’s got dibs, but i’ll lend a hand (or something) while she leads the conquest!
January 20, 2008 at 2:28 am
I’ve seen her dibs - well, let’s face it, who hasn’t - tee hee
[I must teach that boy to at least look as though he's putting up a struggle]

DP - Welcome to my humble Trailer Park. You’ll like it here, i think… And i owe you thanks - i was inspired to include my two children in this activity due to the wondrous way your family engages over the ether…. very sweet. and funny as hell!
January 31, 2008 at 12:01 pm
I LOVE your blog!
January 31, 2008 at 5:37 pm
bluesea - WELCOME to the park! A quick look through your recent posts tells me that i’m going to enjoy little wander through your blog as well!

I had to smile at your description of the marriage that ultimately wasn’t. Reminds me of Brett Butler on her show when the teacher ragged on her kid for being from a broken home, and Brett, bold as brass, says, “No no it WAS broken, and now I’ve fixed it!” Always liked her.
February 12, 2008 at 7:44 pm
awalkabout - love brett butler! she coined the term ’spam sucking trailer trash’, which is a staple of my vocabulary! my ex-husband is the worlds most patient, kind and gentle soul… we just didn’t fit as a pair. often told that we were a ‘great family’, it was awkward for me knowing that we were a lousy couple. but we move on - and both seem much happier these days!
February 12, 2008 at 11:03 pm
*added you to my blogroll…needed a bit of spice.*
February 13, 2008 at 6:59 am
awalkabout - and you cerainly bring something special to mine!
February 15, 2008 at 9:50 am
I’ve been wondering about your name, daisyfae. Are you, perhaps, Daisy Mae Scragg’s sister? Your names and backgrounds are so similar, you know…
February 15, 2008 at 5:46 pm
toby - nope. it’s a literary reference, but not that one….
guess again!
February 15, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Daisy Fae & the Miracle Man???
February 15, 2008 at 7:39 pm
By the way, I recognize Wonder Woman when I see her.
February 15, 2008 at 11:42 pm
toby - Daisy Fay. yep. But more “Xena” than “Wonder Woman”…
February 16, 2008 at 4:13 am
can we get a picture of you in a Xena outfit?
February 16, 2008 at 9:56 am
nm - not up here! but i do have that costume. wore it to the grade school when i was ‘room mother’ for my then 9 year old son’s classroom. that was one of the occasions when they decided that i couldn’t embarass them… at least more than i already had!
February 16, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Now you have majorly hooked me! Xena - I would say more but my eyes have glazed over and my heart is suffering huge palpitations!
That has earned you a severe rolling! Blogrolling, that is.
February 17, 2008 at 2:11 am
archie - WWXD? I tried to get that as the custom plate for my jeep, as in “what would Xena drive”, but someone must have beat me to it. you keep sweet talking me, and i might have to post a photo (headless, to protect my identity, of course) of me in that costume! consider yourself rolled as well! honored, sir…

Hey Girl,
Top blog!

BB - Welcome to The Park. Pull up a lawn chair, put your feet up on a large dog, and sit a spell! Thanks for the BeaverBoost…

I’m always amazed at the people that weave in and out of my life.
As with you, I will be back when I have more time.
You blog’s tagline is hysterical.
I’ll be back tonight!
Thanks for stopping by.

~m - funny how that works in the ether, isn’t it? a very efficient, ’speed-dating’ like process, where we stumble upon words, stories and lives that resonate. i was happily self-medicating out here, and have been blown away by the resonance…
