Shit hits the fan every now and then. The last year that fan has seen quite a bit of shit and this particular week has certainly not been an exception. When you're already struggling to keep your head above water and someone sets a full 10 gallon hat on top of it... you tend to … Continue reading focus…
hbo shows, meet cami’s life…
There are days as I sit and watch the world go by and listen to those around me that I wonder if I’m in the waiting room for HBO shows. One mom talks about her divorce and her ex’s divorces. Messy and messier still. Another hands out homemade cookies and talks about the planned community … Continue reading hbo shows, meet cami’s life…
of words, thoughts and symmetry…
It began as a conversation with my daughter. Discussing eyes. Then eyelashes. Mascara. We ended up at fake eyelashes. The fake eyelash is something that many women have a chance to get to know throughout their lives. Some of us loathe them. Some of us love them. Some of us manage to avoid them. My … Continue reading of words, thoughts and symmetry…
how very un-catlike…
curled up where in the summer there would be sun shivering but not from winter's nip as limbs stray reaching for long gone warmth not caring that they'd be warmer tucked in curled up protected from the hazy light that will never be a sunbeam
reduce, reuse, you know…
It's that time again. Time to clean out the "Recent Drafts" section. That's just what WordPress calls them. Some of these aren't so recent so let's grab a few titles, shall we? No. Not really asking you. Just a nice transitional phrase. We're doing it. I'm pulling up titles, sharing them with you and then … Continue reading reduce, reuse, you know…

I don't know if you're aware of this or not. It could come as a total shock to you, but it's Tuesday. Yep. Tuesday. The second day of the week (if you start the week counting on Monday. Which is how I do it. Monday is the beginning of the WEEK. Sunday is the WEEKEND). … Continue reading shorts…
now that’s pressure…
I'm making potato salad. I am. I'm doing it and none of you can stop me. Mostly because I've already made the potato salad. Yeah. Stressful. Don't you get it? That it's stressful? Because it is. Because I don't make potato salad. I make a lot of things. I make a fucking lot of things … Continue reading now that’s pressure…
the snow that was not, again…
I love snow. I love snow in a way that only a girl raised in various parts of California and Texas far away from snowy places can. Let's add to that. I reside in Portland. People who don't live here might think we get snow. We don't. Every year or two we get a little … Continue reading the snow that was not, again…
dear carrots…
Dear Carrots, It has come to my attention that I don't eat enough of you. Unless you're smothered in butter. Or blue cheese dressing. That's how you taste best after all. However, enough is enough. I'm nearing my mid 30's and the less I eat of you the more I seem to eat of other … Continue reading dear carrots…
birds do it, bees do it, but mermaids apparently don’t…
Mermaids are sirens of the sea. Beautiful creatures that some want to posses and others want to be. 40 years ago when Starbucks became a company they had a logo oh so very different than the one they have today. It was a mermaid with tits, midriff and tail. You know. The mermaid trinity. Over … Continue reading birds do it, bees do it, but mermaids apparently don’t…
