I got back to my apartment after being gone for almost a week and a half yesterday afternoon. The cats were a little extra needy, but despite my homesickness and fears that I might be unable to adjust to normal life again, everything else felt the same. After a week of family, friends, well wishers, […]

I think that if someone could figure out a way to supply nursing homes, hospitals, and funeral homes with good tissues, they’d make a million bucks. My nose is red and sore, and it’s starting to peel. It feels a little like being kicked when you’re down.

When my oldest brother, Matthew, was six years old, doctors found a cancerous tumor at the base of his skull. They operated, removed the tumor, and began aggressive treatment to rid Matt of all the cancer. Before that time, Matt was a rambunctious, smart, at times frustratingtly stubborn little boy.

Every once in a while (OK, I admit, it’s every day) I check my stats to see how many people are reading my offerings of way too much info. Joe set up a really cool page for me so I can see where people are linking from, what languge their computers are set in, and, […]

Remember my post a few weeks ago about giant SUVs that park in compact spots? Apparently, I’m not alone in my pissed off-edness about this. Getting There: An SUV is a ‘compact’ if it fits between lines

As I read this article this morning, a story filled with serious talk of the societal consequences of young people’s drinking, my only thought was this: college kids these days are total pussies. When I was in high school, sure I played a few games of Quarters. And, in my twenties, I’ve been known to […]

Don’t you kind of think he looked like Justin Theroux? Or was this just a case of beer goggles?

Since my last tirade about my ass (well, maybe two tirades ago), I’ve gone to the gym no less than four times a week. And still, my butt is the same size. Sure, it’s a little higher and tighter, but it’s not smaller. Yet, I keep going four times a week because I believe that […]

When I first saw the headline for this article, I thought for sure that it was going to be several hundred words about how middle-aged men are getting laid more, thanks to Viagra, and consequently they aren’t hunting and fishing as much. Thus saving several wild species from possible endangerment. What a silly Girl I […]
