Don’t think about how your current desk, in your current office, is the only place in the world where you can get anything done, how you come in on the weekends sometimes to do homework or file your taxes. Don’t obsess about whether or not your dentist will be covered under your new insurance; that [...]
1. What’s your all-time favorite TV show? This one sounds pretty good. The Greatest TV Show in the World …in my best estimation, the blueprint for the greatest television program the world has ever known. The year is 1914. The location, outer space. Tensions are running high between Mars-tria and Germoony. The United Asteroid Belt [...]
I have so much job drama going on. So, so much. It’s all I think about, dream about, wake up fretting about. I am not good with uncertainty. Nor change, as it happens. Unforttunately, in this case, the status quo isn’t really doing it for me either. ********************** School started this week. I like the [...]
So, last week was a doozy. My poor head was spinning twenty different ways–mostly good ways, but still. A friend of mine who has successful lost weight and kept it off said that the two most important things she did were to learn about what proper portions actually look like and to remove as many opportunities as [...]
Obviously, I read every book, including Farmer Boy. Only poseurs skipped that one. I coveted every detail–bonnets and petticoats and tin plates and Ma’s china shepherdess. Remember when they got to taste oysters that had been brought out west on a train? I’d still like to try parched corn, which the girls got three pieces [...]
1. Hey, remember when I used to write stuff that wasn’t lists or sponsored posts? Those were some fun times, back then. I mean, I cried a lot more often, but I think me bleeding all over the page was enjoyable for all of us. (Although actually, I think some people consider this blog to [...]
“But how do you feeeeeel about that?” “But how do YOU feel about that?” “I think you’re angry at your mother.” “Seems like that’s really pinging on some old stuff.” “Codependency for Dummies.” “I see.” “No, I don’t take insurance.” “Really? Is that what you really think? Are you sure?” “Let it aaaalllll out.” “In [...]
And I’m not counting them. Don’t ask me. Today has been an amazing day. I’d say I’m loathe to talk about it for fear of jinxing myself, but I have called and emailed about 90 people with the details, so that would be untrue. What is true is that I’m totally spooked by this torrent [...]
As I have discussed, I don’t have the best eating habits and I have, for years, studiously avoided learning what good eating habits actually look like so that the ones I have don’t feel ugly and sad. Cooking for one sucks. I love to make food and feed people, and to throw parties where [...]
(If the top part gets boring, scroll down to the parable.) Background: I have four Gmail accounts: my real one with my real name; one for this site; one for dating with a terribly clever handle; and a pseudonymous one that I use to submit pieces for publication. Why pseudonymous, you ask? Well, I’ve always wanted a [...]
