The thermostat is off. The furnace sits inactive. Because it's June. But as I roll over in my bed and open my eyes to my sleepy morning the air slips between my sheets. Brushes against my body. A shiver. And the tiny bumps raise on my arms. My skin pulls tight and I wriggle further … Continue reading because it’s june…
that caller id is a bitch…
Remember the days before caller ID? When you could be all emo and sulky and really need to hear the sound of someones voice with no question and no explanation. You could just call them and hang up. Even after hearing that questioning. That longing sadness in their "Hello?". I settled into bed last night … Continue reading that caller id is a bitch…
words: of love and longing…
Of all the sentiments humans have learned to express through words, love and longing may be the ones to which the most time has been committed. Love notes. Songs. Poems. Tales of woe are often the flip side of a tale of love. And then you have your chick flicks. And the greeting card industry. … Continue reading words: of love and longing…
words: a name…
I don't know how old I was when I realized that my dad's name is Bob because even after I knew that to be true there seemed no reason to say it. To all the world he was Bob. Well, there were a few people who called him Robert. And his mom calls him Bobby … Continue reading words: a name…
words: the four letter variety…
Four letter words get a bad wrap. Head. Duck. Beer. Mush. Blog. All fine perfectly respectable words. All containing four letters. No more. No less. Yet four letter words have a well known reputation for being bad. Nasty. Dirty. Wrong. Baby is a four letter word. As is word, love, like, high, good, nice, cake, … Continue reading words: the four letter variety…
words: sticks and stones…
Words are funny little things. From "I" to "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilico-volcanoconiosis" each word has meaning alone and within the context it's used. Sometimes they're used to communicate information. Sometimes they're used to raise people up. Sometimes they're used to tear people down. Words can hurt. Sometimes those words get away from us. A joke is taken too … Continue reading words: sticks and stones…
everything breaks…
Sometimes it's the little things, you know? A new crack in your laptop case. The ice-cream scoop breaking apart as you're scraping up a spoonful. Your phone rebooting (or not booting) all on its own. Or maybe a giant hole in the thigh of your favorite tights. Yeah. My favorite tights are wrecked. Don't get … Continue reading everything breaks…
and you should always listen to your mother… at least for several years until you actually know better yourself… maybe…
Twenty or so years ago my parents went on a trip to New Orleans. I think my dad was working. He traveled a lot back then so we all learned to make the best of it. Every once in a while the "best of it" meant a little vacation tacked onto his business travels. It … Continue reading and you should always listen to your mother… at least for several years until you actually know better yourself… maybe…

hair today… a rant on tangled
I've made no secret of my feelings for the movies di$ney puts out for kids. I love the fun of it. That you can get lost in their animation, songs and characters is a good thing. They managed to hook you. Pull you into the story and make you care about the characters. You're not … Continue reading hair today… a rant on tangled
