I’m out, with spotty internet access… until then… know the 16 hours of driving one way alone, and the thought of driving the same distance back… alone… Has not affected my sanity one bit. This was only 2 hours into it. Of course there’s a story… Until later… Be well. Be sane. One of us [...]
Delusions of Grandeur
Narcissism On The Spot
Somebody stop me. Somebody stop me. Stop. Me. Somebody. *crickets chriping* Either nobody hears me (because nobody likes me everybody hates me I guess I’ll eat some worms), OR there is silence from the online masses because they are sitting on their hands… waiting to witness… and are afraid to peep and miss the profundity [...]
I Digress
Another Word… Sleeve
It’s been an emotional week. Eventually, I’ll have the words write about it, but exhaustion has me wondering how where to start. So, in an effort to not purge raw emotion all helter-skelter-y onto the interwebz, I will employ a strategy… the art of distraction. It’s different from denial. Because I said so. Of course, [...]
Lucy
Marker for Lipstick
After an hour of, “GO TO SLEEP. GET IN YOUR BED. QUIT PLAYING. GETINBED. QUIT. BED. QUIT. SLEEP. SILENCE!!!!” It did grow quiet. I have written before about the fact that silence is not, in fact…. golden. You see it was silent not because Lucy had fallen asleep. N-to-the-O-T. Instead, she was quietly making herself [...]

Make Me Laugh Monday – Cuz If You Can’t Laugh… The McDonald’s Germ Tube
I almost made it. I was *this* close. I almost made it through my entire mother-of-preschoolers career (an almost 11 year stint), without having one of my offspring pee, poop or vomit inside any one of the quite possibly, MILLIONS of play tubes their young knees have crawled in. The Germ Tubes. But my kids [...]

The Confessional – It’s Still Christmas At My House
It is still Christmas at my house. Not because presents keep pouring in, no… but because, as of this writing – January 16, 2010… the Christmas decorations are still — UP. *hangs head* I’m just keepin’ it real for y’allz. I am a classic type-a personality with a scattered-creative alter-ego who obssesses over glitter and [...]

A Short Story About My Trip to Arizona
Wanna see a picture of a cactus? OK! I went to Arizona last weekend. My friend Casey turned 40 and she had an 80′s dance party… But before the party we went on a hike. This is my kind of hiking… wind in your hair… Open toed shoes… and coffee. I just love hiking with [...]

I Think I Just Got the Greatest Compliment of My Life
I think… if one considers being considered “pornworthy” complimentary. And apparently I do. Oh dear. Where to start, where to start… *scratching head* I helped my friend Lisa lead a little pep rally at a local private school for their upcoming Knowledge Bole Bowl. Go Smart People!!!

In Which I Look Like A Jonas Brother
I had to head out to a meeting this afternoon. I wanted my outfit to say something like, “I can hack it.” or “I can bring it”… or maybe “Professional laday is in da hizzouse!!!” *ahem* Before the meeting, I picked up my son from school. As we walked to the car he asked, “Why [...]
