I went to bed last night with wind roaring outside my window, but it changed direction in the night, so even though it was gusty, the house was not feeling any benefit. I had to turn on the a/c in order to sleep. I dreamed odd dreams last night, courtesy of the wind. I was, [...]

This week, I’ve been on an orange juice kick. I haven’t had coffee because I haven’t been in the mood for it – well, twice I was, and I made some, then forgot it was there, but last weekend at the grocery store, I picked up oranges – navel oranges – and each morning I’ve [...]

“Mom,” I said, “my friend Deb just read Molly Ringwald’s new book – and in it she says that the color your hair was when you were five, is what you should dye it when you’re forty. ” I was paraphrasing, since I haven’t read the book yet myself, but the gist was what was [...]

Yesterday I went back to my weight machine for the first time in a couple weeks. No worries, I stretched first, but today I’m really sore – really sore. Sore enough that if being sore was a fat burner, I’d weigh two pounds. I never thought I’d enjoy lifting weights, and certainly never thought I’d [...]

I’m doing lots of little posts tonight….things that don’t add up to one entry, but I need to get down on virtual paper. I’m not generally a milk fan, but once in a while I go through phases where I want it in huge quantities. Well, not HUGE exactly, but…huge for me. Like, whole glasses [...]

Anyone who’s ever watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer knows of the game “Anywhere but Here,” where you fantasize about being anywhere but where you are. Generally, I like my life, but this last week or so has been a real challenge for me, and now there’s a full moon and every dog in the neighborhood [...]

I whined on Twitter this morning that my mouth is still sore from all the dental work, and while I am going to take heavy drugs in a moment before I go to sleep, I’ve been trying not to during the day, because, unlike my favorite fictional physician, one Gregory House, I do NOT function [...]

I can’t begin to talk about the best weight loss pills with any kind of crediblity, but I can tell you that two days at the dentist is enough to make anyone not want to eat again, ever. Last Friday evening, I was innocently eating a Luna bar, and I chipped the back of one [...]

I’ve seen the original cast of RENT, and of course I saw the movie, but when HBO ran the video of the cast that closed the show in 2008, I was hooked on THAT cast. Maybe because it was a new cast, and they hadn’t lived those characters, but were able to approach them purely [...]

I’m struck, today, by the way there are seasons within each life, and within the lives of friends, just as there are within the year. Last year, Fuzzy and I were practically inundated with baby shower invitations, and attended a few dedications/baptisms as many of our friends extended their families. We added to our family, [...]
Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very;” your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
