The end

So, it’s the last day of NaBloPoMo.  I feel sort of ashamed that I have done such a shitty job posting.  I mean, I did it every day, but I can’t count the number of times I just sort of phoned it in.  I wish I could go back and delete and re-write all the [...]

Birds and bees

I just decided that I’m doing all my Xmas shopping at Etsy this year. Seriously, I’m just sitting here and click click click, gorgeous homemade earrings for my sister! A lavender eye pillow for my mom! Things with skulls and pirates for my son! Cheap, too, and I’m not supporting the [...]

Forsaken

Oh, internets.  You know I love you.  But NetFlix just sent me both Sex & the City and Project Runway on DVD.  And, you know, I think right now I might love NetFlix more than the internets.  So, um…. tonight I am forsaking you for the DVD player.  And probably a few minutes (okay an [...]

Move your body

Okay, so enough with the doom and gloom.  Let’s do a jolly happy post!  Woo-woo!
Seriously, since I started this whole healthy living thing (well, except the smoking, but you need a vice, okay?), I have been feeling so much better.  I have this feeling of being in tune with my body that I haven’t had [...]

deep sunk

I don’t know what to write today, so here!  Have a bad poem I wrote last year:
 Deep Sunk
Deep sunk, waterlogged, softening against the sandy bottom and gentle waves
of seaweed swaying against the hull. Her prow bent, cracking, the mermaid
half-missing, blind eyes looking for a sky that never comes. Fish tire of
exploring the bleached [...]

Love.

There’s always a balance of power in relationships - the one who loves and the one who is loved.  It’s never equal, or at least it never feels that way.  It doesn’t matter how thin you are, how pretty you are, how smart or funny or rich.  You’ll always be on the bottom at some [...]

Family

E was just asking what the hell I have been finding to blog about for a whole month straight, day in and day out. And, well, you guys know. Pretty much nothing. Lots of one-liner-type posts and belly-achin’ and all that. But I have been doing well with it, at least [...]

Drinky crow.

Thank goodness no one is reading this, because I am too tipsy to type.  It’s funny (ha-ha!) how drunk can go from “whee! so happy” to “ugh! everything sucks” so fast.  I know I promised a “real” post, but yeah.  That was many Newcastles ago.  Good night internet!

Happy Turkey Day!!

I hope everyone’s was filled with as much pie and gin and tonic and bad jokes about love affairs between my husband and my sister’s boyfriend as mine was; but that you got more naps.  Back tomorrow with a “real” post, I swear!!

Why, yes, I am crazy, why do you ask?

I have sort of been putting off writing a “real” post because I’m embarrassed of that last post and kind of want to pull it down (at the same time, I hate censoring myself and don’t want to do that, either…)  Also, I am soooo tired at the moment.  E and I stayed up late [...]
