Will write for yarn.
It’s hot and my feet are old. It used to be that I had time to make myself into a girl, but now it’s all I can do to make myself get up. All I want right now is to put down this laundry and this sad life and put on lip gloss that smells [...]
I was very proud of myself for finding all the necessary pieces of my cappuccino machine this morning. As you know, if you read this post, this is no small feat.
Of course, it’s not working properly.
And now I’ve spent so much effort putting it together, I no longer have the wherewithall to make coffee.
So due [...]
I’m busy chopping up pieces of paper and trying to assemble something like a coherent story, or a set of notecards, or at least some coasters from it, and in the mean time, I am SUCKING like a suckling pig sucks on an apple, or maybe more like a sucking chest wound.
Between teaching myself HTML [...]
Spuknof is a great local punk band. The singer’s son goes to my kid’s preschool. Click on the photo for an insane music video. Vaguely David Lynch-esque. Or something.
Don’t worry; these are much better than the last video. I’m busy cleaning and rocking out to The Clash and other stuff, so I thought I’d share.
Funny, when I got my first Clash album (that’s record album for you youngsters out there), I thought they were pretty bad ass. Of course, I didn’t know about [...]
I dropped my son Ethan at preschool the other day and noticed a sign for their summer camps. Thinking, okay, maybe I can justify sending him for one week so I can get geared up for homeschooling this fall and OMG he will be home ALL. THE. TIME.
Each week has a different theme. The first [...]
Dear Daughter,
I hope you’ll forgive me for so public a display as this. Maybe you’ll never even see it. If it does what I hope it will, you will instead receive a hand-written letter of apology and remorse from me.
See, I’m so used to typing, it’s hard to sit and write. But maybe this habitual [...]
I am reading an elementary school version of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to my little guys lately. I wasn’t sure if it was too early to start chapter books, especially with Ethan only four years old and a little…energetic. And easily distracted, too.
But he loves it. I don’t know if it’s the starting fires [...]
I was supposed to take time off, but I give up – I can’t stop myself. I have to tell you something.
I want to tell you what summer tastes like here, what its sounds are and how it wraps itself around you in a heady fabric of humidity and flowery fog.
I wasn’t outside tonight for [...]
Look, folks. I’m taking a few days off. I have work to do and a husband gone with the “army” (like I really believe that old scheme!) for the weekend. Plus it’s Mothers Day for pete’s sake (should that be capitalized?). So I’m going to make like a mother and piss [...]
