Earlier this year I came down with a case of the crud and a horrible cough and it turned out to be Pneumonia and, as Pneumonia does, it knocked me on my ass for a couple of weeks. It was around my birthday and I hemmed and hawed and pouted because I couldn't really DO … Continue reading we were out of hand soap…

vacation from the vacation…
Knowing I would come home exhausted from many hours of running the concrete paths that are the amusement parks of Orlando. And flying from one side of the country to the other. And then back. And sharing every moment of 4 days with my teenager without a private place for either of us to go … Continue reading vacation from the vacation…
a thank you note to kidney stones…
Not so very long ago, my father, whom I more commonly refer to as "Daddy," was diagnosed with kidney stones. Now, I'm no doctor, nor do I play one on tv, so you'll have to forgive my simple assessment and description of the situation. He had big fucking kidney stones. Not the kind you simply … Continue reading a thank you note to kidney stones…
the start of my week ended with a bang…
I am a graceful person. Really graceful. You know that poem Tuesday's Child? Yeah. I was born on a Tuesday, that's how graceful I am. I once hiked up a mountain in high heels and a dress for a friend's wedding ceremony and when I reached the top not a strand of hair was out-of-place … Continue reading the start of my week ended with a bang…
what’s up doc…
I have a love hate relationship with the way in which technology has sculpted our connection to and consumption of information. This isn't about the quality of our information, that's a whole different tale to tell, I'm talking about the way in which we interact with it. So many of us take in data in … Continue reading what’s up doc…
the best and worst of drafts…
Sometimes I start to write something and find myself at a loss for words. Other times the words flow too freely and I wind up uncomfortable with the thought of sharing the words I've splashed across the screen. Still others I recognize my inane babble for what it is and save you all the woe … Continue reading the best and worst of drafts…
that time a guy with a red goatee broke into my home…
It started off as a fairly typical Monday morning. Typical within Monday parameters anyway. My kid wasn't home Sunday night. Rick stayed over but got up early to head into town for a standing Monday morning meeting. I snoozed. And then in typical Monday fashion I woke on my own shortly before 8:00 AM. I … Continue reading that time a guy with a red goatee broke into my home…
things not to do with an evening to myself…
As I sit here on the sofa with a kitty to each side of me the evening unfurling like a spool of shiny ribbon I'm paralyzed as I contemplate the possibilities. My mind races. I could do anything. Or nearly anything. But what? Because I've already had brunch today. And gotten a hair cut. And … Continue reading things not to do with an evening to myself…
silence is golden – or – how we didn’t talk about age of ultron for 3 days…
First I should tell you that this post is not about Avengers: Age of Ultron. There will be no information about the movie. No spoilers. No nothing. I'm not even going to tell you what I think of the movie. Okay fine, maybe I'll tell you if I liked it. Because it's a superhero movie... … Continue reading silence is golden – or – how we didn’t talk about age of ultron for 3 days…
the making of a twitter bio…
Last night as I was walking down the street I was in the tweeting kind of mood. The sky was blue but the sun was just starting to hint at its intent to set. It was warm enough that I didn't need a jacket but cool enough that I could wear a hoodie without overheating. … Continue reading the making of a twitter bio…
