In which I get all vain on y’all. Every month I have a realization: “OMFG! I’m FAT! This is IT, I’ve had it! I’ve absolutely GOT to do something about this! Now a little pudge is fine, of course, but I’ve passed that! I’m moving into the shit-girl-cover-that-ugly-UP! category, and that is so not acceptable!” […]
In which I cover a few days in one entry. Well, let’s see… what have I been doing? Thursday night I crashed at Baby Girl’s. Her hubby was out of town, so she and I and our dogs hung out and watched chick TV and ate cookies. It was fun. Next morning we got iced […]
In which I get called “ma’am” four times. While driving between the post office and work, I noticed that my oil pressure gauge was going totally apeshit, bouncing all over the place. I glanced up at the cling in the corner of my windshield and realized I was a year past due for an oil […]
In which I quote my roommate, Truck. Truck and I got stupidly drunk on vodka Tuesday night for no good reason, and probably solved all the problems of the universe in the course of our brilliant discussion… but naturally now we’ve forgotten most of it. I did write this down in the throes of my […]
In which it’s good to be home. In other words: I’m back, bitches! Oh, people, I had so much fun in Vail! It was, on the surface, a really lovely little jaunt. The surroundings were awesome, the gig went well, I did some knitting, I bonded with the other players in the band, we pre-sold […]
In which GUESS WHO UNTHINKINGLY WASHED ONLY HER SUMMER CLOTHES like a dumb ass?! I’m no stranger to the mountains. I’ve been meaning to check the Vail forecast for a week now, because I knew it would be cooler up there. I finally did. Check the forecast, I mean. And a good thing, too, because […]
In which it’s so sweet, the weather is! This morning (and by ‘morning,’ you should understand that I mean ‘early afternoon’), I went to the gas station and bought the Sunday Des Moines Register. Then I came home and, in my Indian cotton wrap-around skirt and purple built-in bra tank top that AmmZon gave me […]
In which I tell you about my lunch break. I went home for lunch because I have no cash. I passed The Ex and Truck on the way down 2nd street as they were going the other way in the Big Black Truck. Truck called me and said, “Your brake light is out again. I […]
In which I’m doing a lovely meme. Vuboq did a meme and now I’m doing it too because I follow Vuboq everywhere. (Yes, dad, even off cliffs.) Here are the questions Vuboq wrote just especially for me: 1. Why are you still in Iowa? Because it’s easy to live here. It’s cheap. It’s safe. It’s […]
In which I’m anonymous. I just went to the falafel place for dinner. While I was ordering, I noticed that someone had printed out my review of the restaurant and brought it in to them. It was sitting on the counter near the register. All authorship had been stripped from the document, and only the […]
