MissMeliss: Escribition

This isn’t a real entry. I mean, it is, in that it’s an entry, and it’s obviously not fake, but it’s also not real in the sense that it’s just a pointer. You see, I sat down to blog tonight, and came up empty when searching for a topic. Then I went to the Sunday [...]

Sometimes, I think life is one of those promotional bags you get when you buy make-up – you know the type, a cute little bag with five or six tiny samples of lipstick and eye cream and such. The comedian Rita Rudner used to do a bit about such things, in which she said something [...]

I’m having that buzzy-teeth sensation that happens whenever I’m overtired or getting sick, and I’m hoping it’s just that I haven’t been sleeping well, and was up very early this morning.
I have so many things to do – work of course – but also dental appointments, Christmas decoration, writing for personal projects, Christmas cards, [...]

I’ve spent the bulk of the past three days hiding in bed, propped up with pillows, because what I thought was a cold mutated into a bronchitis/sinusitis/flu thing, and I’ve been feverish, achy, and generally crabby, as well as stuffy headed. I’m telling you, if there was a disability appeals court type of thing for [...]

My birthday was Monday. The nice thing about turning thirty-nine is that you’re way past worrying about the best acne treatment available, and can concentrate on more important things like the best eye cream.
Although, I don’t really use eye cream. Just moisturizer. Never underestimate the need for moisturizer.
But I digress.
The day began with [...]

I’ve been sort of hermit-ish, lately, cocooning myself in my private world of books and dogs and happy music, but this week has seen a re-emergence. Some highlights:

Sunday: Fuzzy and I went to church, and for the first time in about a month, even though I felt kind of blechy, I also felt like participating. [...]

HI! I’m JOE! I’m a neutered male smooth-coat Chihuahua, and while I don’t know exactly when my birthday is, I’m probably between 18 months and 2 years old.
I’ve had kind of a rough life recently. A few months ago, I landed in a shelter full of really big dogs, and I was the only [...]

Today, I finally figured out how to restore my lost archives. While the process was a tedious one, involving several cups of coffee, a bowl of tortellini, three small (and one medium-sized) dogs and three ibuprofen caplets, it is done.
So, now you can read what I was thinking in 2002. If you’re utterly bored. [...]

There were no orange cupcakes this year, though my friend Jennifer did call while eating one. There was chili and monopoly and about a billion trick-or-treaters.
Seriously, we gave out about $100 in chocolate.
Best costume: girl and her dog dressed as matching ladybugs.

I’m having one of those days when staying in bed really is the best course of action, because I’m all sinussy, and my ears hurt, and I’m just too crabby to interact with human people and even my dogs are on my list tonight.
Just because.
I’m hungry, and I don’t have the energy to cook, and [...]
