I’m Not Dead
I’m not dead. Nor have I given up blogging. I’m just technologically challenged right now…MBH went on a biz. trip with the laptop early in the week and left the power cord at an office in Florida. Until I receive a FedEx package (hopefully Monday) I’ve got very limited computer access. Drag. Gasp. I can’t […]
White Cake and Cavities
I know, I know, three days without a post. But it’s all over now…all that up my ass-ocity. I’m busy reclaiming my own slice of routine and normalcy save for the entire right side of my face which is still numb after enduring an excavation and a filling. This morning, when searching the calendar for […]
The Grass is Always Greener
I should be posting something lovely and springfully poignant but it’s April vacation and the kids are up my ass, and My Better Half works from home, so he too is up my ass, and the cats and the dog and the two Siamese fighting fish are up my ass. And the second floor windows […]
Annual Performance Review
I am shamelessly borrowing Mark Bazer of the Chicago Trib’s piece called Spousal Review. What better way to kick off the Spring season than with blatant judgment and acerbic commentary on one’s domestic relationships?
Apparently Mark and his wife have found some sort of connubial equilibrium by,
“each keeping a notebook in which we record all the […]
The Straw that Broke The Race Horse’s Back
Today is the beginning of April break and, as is always the case here in New England, the first Monday of the week long vacation is Patriot’s Day.
Having grown up in these parts, Patriot’s Day has always just one of those holidays that is part of a long weekend, a long weekend in which […]
Timing
So what does a twice rejected nascent writer do after the receiving the latest in a series of loud and echoing No’s? Well, of course she gets right back in the saddle and fires off a few short stories to five different literary magazines and makes sure she enters a couple writing contests and decides […]
The Science of Hot
So I missed this one back in February when a post on romantic love would have been more apt. So what if it’s April. Better late than never, right?
Ron over at RWorld turned me on to TedTalks and, particularly recommended this lecture given by Helen Fisher called The Science of Love. Head on over, give […]
Flags of Compatibility, Book Selection as Rosarch Test
My Better Half directed me to the New York Times opinion piece It’s Not You, It’s Your Books this weekend. I laughed, I cried, I saw my younger self in the dating female who is just so damn glad to have found a guy who reads at all that she’s initially willing to overlook the […]
My Stable of Boyfriends
A Staggering Suggestion
It’s the fourth and I’m approaching the thirty day mark of a sixty day self imposed period of asceticism. Time for an update…
Obviously the exercise in economy requires some flexing of the self control muscle and, like any attempt to improve oneself, to tone and sculpt and define, there is some pain associated. And while […]
