9 years ago while I was sitting drinking a martini, just after I had a really nice steak, a friend of my friend's walked into a bar to meet us. He smelled good. Actually he smelled great. And then I was in love with him. With my track record that could have been THE END. … Continue reading really, 9 years

the calendar
I have to know, I really do. I need to ask and you have to tell me... Am I the only one putting stuff on my calendar for the summer? It started innocently enough. Marking the last day of school, noting the date of K's ballet performance. Writing in a conference... or two. Okay fine … Continue reading the calendar
tea time
When I was a kid I used to smoke tea. Yes, I know that's not what it's for, but none the less I did it. Cigarettes were expensive and hard to get, I was too lazy & scared to do drugs (yes you can be too lazy to do drugs, in my way of thinking … Continue reading tea time
because I am queen of this computer
I just made it through 100+ blog posts in my google reader. So some of them were pictures of cats and I didn't have to read more than a sentence... And who cares if I just deleted a few after glancing at them and realizing how long they were... So what if I only left … Continue reading because I am queen of this computer
why I hate you so much…
When I woke up this morning at 6:30 it was to the demonic howling of Bob, my little green alarm clock. That sounds hateful, it really does... and there's a reason for that. I hate my alarm clock. Before you go getting any ideas about my alarm clock wronging me in some way I should … Continue reading why I hate you so much…
while I slept
Monday in the wee hours of the morning when the sun had not yet risen my friend did something magical. Amazing. Incredible. She gave birth to a baby girl. While I curled up in blissful slumber with my beautiful (feverish) child and darling husband she was just a couple of miles away laboring to bring … Continue reading while I slept
I’ll be sitting still for 45 minutes…
I've been running around like crazy lately trying to get stuff done. Stuff for her, for him, for them, for it... very little for me. All sorts of stuff really. Errands, tasks, printing, thinking, singing, dancing, losing my voice. Well that last one wasn't on the list of things to do, though it did happen. … Continue reading I’ll be sitting still for 45 minutes…

one where I forgot what I was writing…
I had this post all written up in my head. It was something you men might not want to read about. It was about tampons. It was a tale about the type of tampons I've been using since I was a teen and about how they really creep some women out because they don't have … Continue reading one where I forgot what I was writing…

How do I begin this wild verbal ride, this crazy trip down vocabulary lane? Should I tell you that right now I feel like my parents failed me? I do a little. They didn't prepare me for all the words life would throw at me. Sigh... Mom, Dad... you guys let me down. What am … Continue reading play prepend…
