In which my luncheon over at El Sombrero has left me overfull and sleepy. Work: My employer publishes an online newsletter each month, and all the employees write little articles for it. I chose to write my article for May on blacklists. Did you know that during the last quarter of 2007, an estimated 95% […]
In which I’m still boring, but the weather’s gorgeous. Spring is truly here. Flowers are in bloom, the days are sunny and breezy with big fluffy white clouds in an achingly blue sky. My morning walk to work is becoming more and more pleasant each day. To balance out all this goodness, I have a […]
In which it was totally flattering. I walked over to the Chevron on my lunch break and bought cigarettes. The lady behind the counter asked to see my ID. I handed it over and she looked at my birth date. “Wow!” she exclaimed, grinning at me. “You really don’t look your age!” It was awesome. […]
In which I roll out the stunning vista of my upcoming weekend. Booyah. (Srsly.) (The pace, it’s killing me.) Last night RB took me to see a band. We went mainly because the band in question gets A-list blues gigs here in the northwest, and we wanted to hear what the competition sounded like. They […]
In which I am totally reaching for material, here. Totally. RB picked me up after work and took me to the studio, where he played a new song he’d written for me to sing (a kick-ass blues/R&B number I wish I’d written myself about leavin’ your man), helped me learn a run in another original […]
In which there’s a hair emergency, bitches! This morning I washed my new hair and conditioned it and slathered it with all the product I own, which isn’t much but should have been enough to control it. Then I went outside, where it’s raining, and under an umbrella walked to the bus stop and then […]
In which I feel totally cute. I got up early today and went and had my hair done. I got highlights, I got lowlights, I got it cut using three different types of cutting devices, I got my eyebrows colored and waxed, AND I got free coffee. My hair is all blonde and straight and […]
In which we turn and face the strange / ch-ch-changes. Two years ago today, I was married and living in rural Iowa doing the American Dream thing, with the mortgage and the house under reconstruction and the quiet desperation and all that shit. The Ex was working in Cedar Rapids that week and I was […]
In which there are superdelicious foodz! The Best Aunt Ever™ picked me up after work last night and took me to College Place for dinner at a tiny little place called Bangkok 103. College Place is a vegetarian haven because apparently the town is comprised mainly of a Christian sect – Adventist, I believe – […]
In which we revisit lolcats because man, that shit is FUHNEH. I’m sick and stupid but I love you so here’s some cute: Enter the ICHC online Poker Cats Contest!
