Roughly 15 years ago my roommate at the time, Dave, got a brand new Leatherman multi-tool. It was fancy. I'm not sure, but I think he wasn't happy with the old basic model he had knowing that the company had moved on to bigger and better things. I think it was a sign of geek … Continue reading lifesaver -or- consumer whore cami loves her leatherman…
but I don’t wanna…
I have a problem you guys. I've been aware of it for a while but fairly unwilling to admit it. At first I couldn't even admit it to myself. It didn't even occur to me to admit it to myself. And then when it did occur to me I was horrified. Mortified. In a state … Continue reading but I don’t wanna…
drip drip drop…
The forecast of my childhood was mostly sunny. There was wind. And fog. And for the brief years I lived in Texas there were biblical storms, snakes falling from the sky, rain falling upward and thunder and lightening the likes of which I've not experienced since. The rain in Texas always stayed with me. Most … Continue reading drip drip drop…
memory embraced…
Sometimes there's a moment in your memory that stops everything. A recalled scent makes you hungry. A comforting sound makes you wistful. A chill reminds you of a misty morning. A sentence turns over in your mind. A remembered shadow on the wall makes you tremble. As much as I'd like to live in the … Continue reading memory embraced…
a sister I never had…
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Yep. It's true. True of every moment that this world goes round. For someone it's the very best day, the very best moment of their life.

sound bite…
The world outside my window is full of life. Life that I'm thoroughly disconnected from. Living in the city you hear the ins and outs of the daily lives of all manner of man and beast. From the frantic scurrying of the urban squirrels along the ground, in the tress or balanced precariously on the … Continue reading sound bite…
the opposite of abandon…
My words have never been as cautiously chosen as they have in the last year. While I used to select certain words and syllables with great care, listening to their cadence, their beat, the way they fell from my lips when I breathed them aloud. I wrote with abandon, playfulness and honesty. Kind of. With … Continue reading the opposite of abandon…
dinner – breakfast conversion chart…
I was honestly under the impression that I don't want pizza often. It's not that I don't like pizza. It's just that I can't eat it all the time. It could have been the weekly pizza night as a kid. Or the fact that I have a kid and those things are like little pizza … Continue reading dinner – breakfast conversion chart…
advice for a long haired not hippie?
I was just in one of my happy places. The shower. Taking a long hot shower. Thinking deep showery thoughts while the water pressed against my skin and the heat and steam threatened to steal my breath so I could relax. And as I am a girl and not a hippie and in the shower … Continue reading advice for a long haired not hippie?
