In which I babble on about nothing, then get down to the point, which is – and I’m sorry if it’s overly pedestrian – to thine own self be true. Or something. I’m pretty much obsessed with my current read, Imajica. It’s occupying most of my attention. God how I love a good book. I’m […]
In which The Ex has a great idea. When The Ex dropped Truck off after work tonight, he said, “So I’ve been meaning to ask you something. I don’t know how you’re gonna take this, but–” “Sure,” I said, “Go ahead.” “Well, I’m thinking about having a big party,” he said, looking at me intently […]
In which it’s not you, it’s me. I mean, it has to be, because the one constant in all my relationships has been — well — me. I’ve been observing the relationships around me closely since I left my husband. I’ve been wondering what makes some relationships work, and others fail. I’ve been comparing my […]
In which I party myself into the ground! (Eh, like THAT’S news.) This morning I emailed a bunch of cell phone pics to my Flickr account, only discover that one cannot send an email to Flickr with more than one image attached. Ergo, each of the six images that actually made it to the target […]
In which I ponder marriage, sex, duty, and who may have a right to my body. One of the big problems in my marriage, particularly at the end, was sex. It all seemed terribly complex at the time, with all the love and hurt and rejection on both sides, but in the end the problem […]
In which it actually sucks more now than it did before. I left because I couldn’t give him what he wanted and I couldn’t stomach another goddamned fight. A couple days later he realized I was serious, and started asking me, “So this is it? You’re done? You’re not going to try anymore, you’re just […]
In which things have changed. Separated. I guess that’s the term. We’ve been talking a lot since he got back from Indianapolis, and Wednesday afternoon after class it all came to a head. One of us had to leave, he said. I don’t blame him; I haven’t been giving him much of anything for quite […]
In which I can’t figure out what I want, a condition that’s becoming more and more familiar to me lately. It’s Saturday and I’m at work. I clocked out at 12:15, went and ate lunch, came back to the office… and never clocked back in. I’ve been playing with templates, trying to make my site […]
In which I hope my temp P/T gig pans out into an actual job. I worked a full day yesterday at WG and really enjoyed it. The people are great. The majority of my time was spent doing dismally dull data entry for the marketing department, but I got to do a few little fun […]
In which I fuss for awhile, but then there’s a recipe at the end so it might just be worth your time. We’re leaving on Thursday. I slept in this morning because there was no reason not to, and because I sleep a lot when I’m stressed out — it’s my preferred coping mechanism, and […]
