Bits and Fluff

May 21, 2012 By In Babble, Blog No Comment

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

December 28, 2011 By In Life No Comment

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!

December 21, 2011 By In Life 2 Comments

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

December 12, 2011 By In Babble 2 Comments

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?

December 1, 2011 By In Babble 2 Comments

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

November 23, 2011 By In Babble 2 Comments

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

There

November 16, 2011 By In Babble 5 Comments

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

November 15, 2011 By In Babble, Life, Riding 3 Comments

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

Milk and Honey

November 14, 2011 By In Babble No Comment

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

November 10, 2011 By In Babble 1 Comment

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

November 7, 2011 By In Life No Comment

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

Faded

November 4, 2011 By In Babble, Life 1 Comment

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.

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

Comfort

October 4, 2011 By In Babble No Comment

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

October 3, 2011 By In Babble No Comment

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
