I'm not going to USE the poison--I just want to know how it works!

I have to clean the car today, because she's going in the shop and I want her looking her best. Kind of like the lady in labor, who insists on putting her "face" on, before going to the hospital! No one is worried about her make-up, while she's in the process of giving birth. But it's important to... Sign in to see full entry.

Surviving Childhood

I got some great comments on my last post, and they got me thinking about my own childhood, and how I ended up being the grown up, only slightly neurotic person I am today. When I look back at my early days, and some of the things that I did when I was young, it sort of gives me the willies.... Sign in to see full entry.

License to Breed

Mark and I were talking about babies last night. It's a subject that's gotten quite common in our house--we've talked about just about every aspect of child rearing, until the subjects are exhausted. But yesterday, we found something new to ponder. Consider this--in order to drive a car, you have to... Sign in to see full entry.

Distasteful Business

First of all--Happy Mothers Day to all the moms--I hope you have a fantastic day, and that you're spoilt rotten by kids or spouses or loved ones! Yesterday was quite busy, especially compared to my usual standards of errand running. First stop, my late uncles apartment. Mark and I took the truck and... Sign in to see full entry.

Broken Bling for an Old Lady!

Yesterday I visited my therapist for the last time. He's going on a 4 month adventure, and won't be returning until September. I'll likely resume treatment with him then, but September is a long ways off. For now, I'll have to find a suitable stand-in. It's not something I'm looking forward... Sign in to see full entry.

Out of touch with the world, and loving it

I don't read magazines. I don't even glance at them in the grocery lines. No trashy tabloid rag has ever crossed the thresh-hold of my home. Because, frankly, I don't care who's dating who, or who's getting a divorce or having another baby or back in rehab. If Brittney wants to shave her head and... Sign in to see full entry.

Trouble at the Pumps

I don't like bugs. Doesn't matter what kind--winged, menace, creepy crawler, or slithering terror--I'd be much happier living without them. Because I've had this mortal fear for most of my life, I've learned some tricks and am always careful to take precautions when entering into a situation that... Sign in to see full entry.

On Writing Fiction--for Azur

I just got through catching up on some of my reading, and Azur's post got me thinking. She talked about the difficulties of writing fiction, and how it's not a job for just any old body. Instead of leaving her a mini-novel in her comments, I decided to do a post on the subject. I used to have a... Sign in to see full entry.

The CD player in my car has been on the fritz for about a month now, and things are really starting to get out of control. Last week I made a quick trip to the electronics store, to get prices on a new system--in theory, they're not all that expensive. I don't need anything fancy, I don't want big...

I got new shoes!

It all started with the dreaded trip to the clothing store, to get a new shirt for the funeral. I hate shopping for clothes. Actually, I detest it. It's torture. The plan was simple: get in, get the shirt, and get out as quickly as humanly possible. No browsing, no dilly-dallying around in the... Sign in to see full entry.
