So Boring!

Okay, so my life is anything but boring right now but I am assuming this blog sure is.
Here is some lame updating. And look! (sparkles) Something uh, shiny!
Basically, I’m busy. It’s the end of the semester and I’m swamped with making, giving, and grading finals.
I’m looking for […]

Only Read the Beginning

I hope you all are having a lovely Thanksgiving. I hope that friends and loved ones are spooning a healthy third serving of mashed potatoes onto your plates at this very moment!

I am home alone with a head cold while the husband has the children at their Thanksgiving extravaganza.
I am tired, sick, […]

Fragonard, Always Appropriate

I can’t stay away for too long it seems, so a template change was in order.
This is Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s Young Woman Playing with a Dog. Of course I cropped out the dog and focused on her bright behind and happy face.

Dialup Hurts Me To My Very Core

I’m ordering DSL tomorrow for my mama’s house. Because dear god, I think I’m actually bleeding internally from waiting, waiting, waiting.
I say, “Go here, Internets!” It gives me: blink. blink blink. ???
I say, “Go forth! Tally Ho!” It rolls over and whines.
I say, “Motherfuckermoveitohmygodwhatinthedevilsnameiswrongwithyou!” It just gives a […]

Since I’m Not Sleeping Anyway, Let’s Talk

Right now, I’m on my period.
Congrats if you didn’t click away.
But really, I’m sharing something real with you. Sure, it’s gross, but it is what it is. It’s not “the visitor,” it’s not “Aunt Flo,” whatever. I’m on my period. There are tampons involved. I’m over it.
It’s my second to […]

We Have Electricity!

Our neighborhood is one of those lucky few that didn’t lose power until Friday morning and then got it back Saturday night.  And, Friday and Saturday were nice, cool days.  We dragged mattresses to the basement last night and slept comfortably.
There are still so many people (318, 642) who have been suffering without electricity in […]

Word Up

Do you ever sit at your desk pulling out your hair, swearing, and hating Microsoft Word for not doing the things you NEED it to do and doing things you never told it to do? Like adding 4-inch margins or solid black lines for no apparent reason?

You Do Not Want to Come Over

It’s Nero.

Nero is sick again. Yesterday, he started trying to pee all over the house and I noticed blood coming from him. He’s been on the antibiotics for a week and a half and was improving nicely, and then this.
