This week in Haiku

I am one hot minx:

I think I passed a

kidney stone last night. Isn’t

that SO romantic?

And sometimes, I swoon:

If there was ever

a reason to fall in love

This here would be it.

I am a really good mother:

My kid is ditching

school to go see a movie

with my permission.

And now I get a whole knew forum to test out my mad skilz of a momma:

A new little boy

born in San Jose Tuesday

calls me Madrina.

And my real family is about to grow:

My baby sister,

10 years my junior, is in

early labor now.

    I thought we had a date last night. An awkward, dinner and drinks affair, perhaps, my lovely lady. But I waited with the Courvasier and flowers (none of those cheap carnations, either…you are worth real, expensive daisies) for HOURS at the restaurant, and you didn’t show. Awkward never was so awkward. My red satin sheets long for you. I would have *?!@*$)@-ed you all night long. But now all I can do is send you haiku:

    Oh, Mr. Lady!
    Hot, lovely Mr. Lady!
    I’m sorry to say

    the Courvasier
    is all gone. But I drank it
    while thinking of you.

    ***
    Hope you had a great night last night. :)

    Oh, and I am a dumbass for spending so long working on silly haiku that I forgot about the kidney stone. (Small brain only holds one thought at once.) So obviously your night last night wasn’t super hot. Ouch. Sorry.

    a kidney stone is
    no fun but becoming an
    aunt trumps everything.

    (i always wanted to do that — comment on a ku with a ku!)

    GAH! A kidney stone!!! Those are horribly painful. I am so sorry.

    (Admission. I have only written one Haiku in my life and it was for an English class.)

    I honestly don’t even remember all the rules for them.

    Duh.

    Also, you deliver the hits more than David J. I might have to reconsider my blogging loyalties. Do you also provide free drinks at Blogger Bashes?

    Congrats on being an Aunt! Congrats on the kidney stone! What did you name it???

  • Veronica


    Ouch @ the kidney stone! That can’t have been pleasant. You don’t even get to fall in love with it once it comes out!

    Congrats on Godmotherhood! That is awesome.

    Also, good luck to your sister!

    Ouch I hate the kidney stones, been dealing with them on and off for years here.
    Congrats on the pending aunt status and on being a godmother. Hoping to be asked to be my nephew’s godmother.

    Kidney stone, huh? Killer V-day date. You need to work on that for next year.

    Congrats on being a godmother, and on (I assume by now) an aunt as well. It’s been a good week. Well, aside from the horrendous pain and all. Maybe you should reconsider being quite so supportive of friends/family in labour. It’s not really the best method.
