10 Things I am Great At!

“Disappearing” money. Give me $3k and see how long it takes me to make it vanish– it will astonish nearly all of you. No, I do not drink (on anything near a regular basis), smoke (at all), gamble, or do drugs (unless starbucks counts). And, in the last 2 years I have managed to curtail [...]

Last of the Summer Sniffles

I have the unfortunate luck to be getting an attack of the summer sniffles. This is only mildly tolerable due to the fact that I am barely finished with two of the three courses I had for summer quarter, and therefore have a lighter workload.  It isn’t really all that tolerable at all, as I [...]

Summertime?

I haven’t posted since the day I got my driver’s license back. Mostly because I have been crazy-mad busy.
On June 19th I celebrated my 9th wedding anniversary. In order to celebrate like a nearly-wed for a decade couple we are, I moved Heaven and Earth, worked myself to near-exhaustion, and in the end it was [...]

Pepsi.  I took the Pepsi challenge a looong time ago, LOL. [...]

melancholia

I got sick and spent two weeks on my couch trying to BE STILL and BE SILENT– because to do otherwise was just plain painful. In that time I rapidly sank into depression, which is just about par for the course at this time of year, so it wasn’t exactly unexpected.
Then Sunday night I just [...]

University Shooting

I have no idea why this has hit me as hard as it has.
Last year was the VT massacre and I was, if not OK with it, then somewhat unaffected by it.
I don’t know anyone in Illinois– wait, Oprah, Obama, and the people from ER… do they count? So, having said that, why am I [...]
