Around the time I was 15 I started sneaking cigarettes here and there... by the time I was 17 I was a smoker. I continued down that path of smoking until I was 23 years old. In November of 2000 I quit smoking. It was the very end of November, after thanksgiving. I'd tried to … Continue reading smoke signals

no one is dead here…
I think things are going well. Really well. I'm no longer upset with myself over my gratuitous use of the number 7 and the random shaking and shivering seems to have passed. Also, I made banana nut bread. Not just any ol banana nut bread though, whole wheat banana almond bread sweetened with honey instead … Continue reading no one is dead here…
when we last saw our heroine…
Last time I was at Ignite I was anything but nervous. No where near knots. As a matter of fact I was down right chipper to attend the event. I had a chance to sit back and relax on one of the comfy sofas in the balcony with friends and family and survey the events … Continue reading when we last saw our heroine…
soy sauce
When I was 16 years old I would go out to eat with one of my friends, Matt, every couple of weeks. He and I would head across town to a little Chinese take-out place. Every time we went there I'd order a tiny carton of steamed rice and pot stickers and then we … Continue reading soy sauce
Smonday
Are you at work today? Is it a weekday for you? Oh.. well, I'm very very sorry. I mean really, truly sorry. You see I only write blogposts for weekdays. You know. The days of the week that don't start with "S" As it happens "Monday" doesn't even exist this week. My daughter is home … Continue reading Smonday
NaNo No No…
Last year I successfully started and completed NaNoWriMo (which I affectionately call Bert). It was insane, strange and a little stressful but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the camaraderie. So when it came time to decide if I would do NaNoWriMo again this year, I chose to go ahead with it. Gladly. Excitedly. And … Continue reading NaNo No No…
if you do nothing else today…
Even if you don't shower or put on deodorant or wear pants or a shirt or take your vitamins. Even if you don't feel like it or you don't think it will count... If you do nothing else today, VOTE. (If you've already voted you can totally ignore this)
2 hours won’t kill me…
There are times that I wake up so busy that if I don't hit the ground running it seems as though nothing will get done. Then, there are the times that I can't possibly hope to get everything done no matter how hard I try. No matter how fast I run. No matter how much … Continue reading 2 hours won’t kill me…
when friday comes early…
Today as you read this on your Friday... it's not my Friday. My Friday was yesterday (which is right now as I write this). It's so heavenly to have Friday come an entire day early. Tomorrow when I'm supposed to wake up to get K ready for school, I'll be sleeping. And tomorrow when I'm … Continue reading when friday comes early…
why the bathroom smells like wet cat…
It was Friday, just afternoon. I'd spent the morning volunteering at school and had to head back at 1pm but I needed a few moments for me. I'd already had a bite to eat and wasted some time on twitter so I was at a bit of a loss. I stretched my arms and back … Continue reading why the bathroom smells like wet cat…
