Adoption and Goodwill Toward Men
Pin itI just feel moved to write about this treasure… as an outsider. I am not an adoptee, nor have I adopted… Oh, but to bring a child into a circle of love and family where there was none… moves me deeply. I hold adoptive families in the highest regard… for the effort and sacrifices [...]
Oh dear, Jenny's been thinking again…
Pin itLast night I had to take my 6 year old daughter into the local urgent care. It seems my stellar skillz as mother are not at stellar as one might think. A wound on her arm (inflicted by beauty bark 4 days ago) grew to the size of a roma tomato between the hours [...]
Kiss the Blarney Stone
Pin itHappy St. Patty’s Day! Have you been given the gift of eloquence? Perhaps you are known for your flattering tongue… or your clever wit. If so, it may be you’ve been making out with the Blarney Stone. Mwah! I’m wearing that thar shirt today. That person in that shirt – it’s me. You can’t [...]
Random Pieces
Pin itI just have bits of things floating in my head. Some folks may think this fact clearly illuminates my need to be institutionalized, while others (in the medical community) would simply call them by the names my alternate personalities have given them – Eugenia, Felicia, Josephina Guadalupe Maria Carmen de la Cruz, Southern Bell, [...]
Revolting
Pin itIsn’t it funny that revolting (adj: ewww… gross) and revolting (v: rebel) are the same word? But different. But the same. One is an action, and the other describes… something that is not so much an action. Gosh it’s been a long time since I’ve diagramed a sentence. Anywho. This came to mind, as [...]

I like…
Pin itIt’s all about me! Why? Because I am the scepter-holder of this blog and I will it to be so… besides that, since when does one’s world not revolve around oneself? AND it’s my birthday month. *Nee-ner* I like October. I like that my birthday is this month. I like a birthday MONTH as [...]
Frankly, I'm offended.
Pin itMy children’s Little People Animal Sounds Farm toy is offensive. Each time I enter it’s rather generous circumference of sensitivity – it moos. At me… yes, AT me. I’m sure of it. It makes me feel a little self-conscious, aaaaaaaaand a little freaked out… I mean – it could either be a sick toymaker [...]
Issues
Pin itI got ‘em. Like having… One. Big. Eye. Reminiscent of Mike Wazowski – exacerbated by The Tumor Removal of ’05. I sometimes forget about it… until I see a picture or somethin’… like my new driver’s license picture. Hair: good. Expression: acceptable. Lip gloss: glossy. Eye #A: eye-like. Eye #B: E(ye)normous Like… laughing after [...]
Writer's Block and the Chiropractor
Pin itSo, when I go through a period of “blockage”, I realize I haven’t been looking at life from the right angle. I’m not talking about peering life from the edge of a 90-degree angle… I am discovering I need to look at life – it’s events, my family, my friends, and my community through [...]
