A million small pricks will damage the heart as much as a single large blow. More, maybe. Insomnia sucks. Cycles of sleeping too much and not sleeping enough leave you looking and feeling ragged and blue. Make up doesn’t help Spring makes my heart smile Open windows and breezes make Sunday mornings in bed a
Easy
I? Am entirely too susceptible to suggestion. I read about coffee, I need to make a cup of coffee. I read about breakfast, I’m hungry for eggs. In the series of books I’m reading one of the main characters keeps nibbling on glazed almonds. Of course I am now sitting here with glazed pecans (I
Happy Holidays!
It is so quiet in the world of blogs and blogging lately. Seriously, my reader is humming Silent Night every time I open it. Nobody has a thing to say and those who do are too busy to say it. Here, too. Between work and running around, preparing for the holiday and shopping for the gifts and
Testing
Because testing stuff is fun and I have nothing else to say! (Which is not really true. I came here to do a real post and got distracted by some updates)
Fail?
Well, it’s December. Nablopomo is over. I fail at writing every day. I did, however, write 17 posts which is way better than the 12 I wrote the rest of the year. This? Is not my year for blogging, apparently. That’s okay, though. It’s been a busy year for life. I’ve been blogging since September
No no nablopomo
How could I ever have succeeded with something that starts with naaaaaa, you can’t do it? Oh well. I wrote a little and I changed my theme and I got three different people wanting to advertise with me, all of whom I said hells no to because I just don’t want a blog full of ad banners
Kitty Hugs!
So sweet I cannot stand it. I know this doesn’t count as a real post but, dude, I’m cooking breaded pork chops and can’t be arsed to, like WRITE something, ffs. [vsw id="GzgpeLFf4z4" source="youtube" width="425" height="344" autoplay="no"]
There
See that picture? I want to be there. For about a month. And anyone who yells at me or acts like a wiener gets the bridge pulled up on ‘em. Some bits of tid since I have nothing else today: I woke up sicker than I was yesterday. It feels like this flu was running
Ticky Tacky
Sometimes, when I’m out on the bike, I sing this song. I don’t have a radio on the bike and it’s illegal to use an iPod so I tend to sing to myself. I don’t know any whole songs so my singing sounds a lot like one of those late night informercials for 80s Love
A Letter to No One
Times of extreme selfishness generally tend to cause extreme misery.
Milk and Honey
I didn’t have a cup of coffee, at all, from around 9 am Friday until like 4 pm Sunday. Even since then I’ve only had a couple cups. Black tea with milk and honey is going down a lot better and eases my sore throat at the same time…
Cabbage Soup
Buy a pound of already cut up beef — like that crap they label “beef for stir fry”. Toss it in a stock pot with some olive oil and salt and pepper and let it brown. Meanwhile, chop up a head of cabbage and saute it in some butter along with an onion and a
Nook
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about getting some sort of tablet device. My laptop is amazing but it’s freaking huge and it weighs a ton and it’s not very comfy for using in bed or curled up in a chair or… well, for anything portable at all. My dream, of course, is an iPad
The End of the Road…
Had to park the bikes today. The weather is getting too iffy, the chances of snow growing more likely every day, and they had to be safe and snuggled in for the winter
Faded
Every week, by the time Friday night rolls around, I feel worn out and faded and so achy I just want to collapse. I’ve never been the Friday Night Party Girl type and I’ve only gotten less so as I get older.
I suck at this
Days. They are just not long enough to find time to write meaningful things. But a commitment is a commitment so… Today I: Had a very serious conversation that included the words Occupy your Vagina. Let my teenager drive me to the store. (SCARY!) Fell in the tub. (Who’d have thought a bath was more
I’m late, I’m late!
Yesterday I got laid with a Breathe Right strip on my nose. Oddly it wasn’t all that embarrassing. Today I watched episode 10 of SOA, The X Factor USA and the final Harry Potter movie. So sad. We also plowed through nearly a dozen Krispy kremes. Horrifying. And now, all drugged for bed, I
NaBloPoMo: Whereupon I Try to Write Every Day for a Month
It doesn’t matter what form they take, it is the words themselves that I love..
Nothing to see here…
…cept the pretty picture. Wouldn’t it be fucking awesome to be lounging out there with some drinks and good movies???? Rawr. Anyhow, just testing the new theme. Not entirely sure about it yet. *shrug* I suppose it’s not like I write often enough for it to matter, eh? Hope everyone is healthy, happy, all that
Comfort
Today has been all about comfort, even through the workday. Chicken soup for lunch. Roast beef in succulent broth for dinner. Coffee, rich and dark with thick cream and sweet sugar for dessert. And now? A hot bath. A good book. A comfy blanket. Snuggles. Life these days is all about the moments — the
You can’t take it back
I have always been what I call “brutally honest”. I rarely hold back an opinion and will rant passionately about people, things, places, events… And yet I also rarely vent in the heat of the moment. I rarely get angry or upset and spew out the words that are roiling around in my head. I
