I am getting a brand new bionic knee two weeks from today. In just a mere 14 days, the knee cap and joint I was born with will be in a medical waste bag. I won’t miss it a bit. It’s been a real bitch to me the last few years. I will have then [...]

All the things I can’t say

I would love to be able to spill my guts here (disgusting as that visual is) but alas, I cannot. The thing about the Internet is that what you throw out there lasts forever. Words are too powerful to tossed around lightly. So let’s just say my stomach is having a violent reaction to recent [...]
Winning at pinning

Among the many afflictions I have, you know, besides anxiety, depression and an eating disorder, is an obsessive personality. I latch on to something and I do not let go. Until I am bored with it. So we might need to sprinkle a little ADD into the kooky soup. Have I mentioned I am pretty [...]
Carnivale

This week has been a long strange trip, so it’s only appropriate that it ends with a masquerade ball. That’s not a euphemism for anything; husband and I will be twirling the dance floor tonight a Carnivale-themed masquerade fundraiser for the local symphony orchestra. (It’s a long story, and weird considering we don’t even like symphony [...]
Anybody in here?

I treat this blog like one of those houseplants that doesn’t need a lot of water or sun and yet I still manage to turn it into a bone dry stick surrounded by a pile of dead yellow leaves. Yeah, I’m a blog neglector. Between work stress and a serious case of oh-shit-I-just-can’t-handle-one-more-thing, I have [...]
It’s a mad, mad world

I am in my late 40s and I have to tell you, I find the world we live in to be increasingly difficult to navigate. This isn’t one of those “oh, life was so simple back in the day” posts–because it wasn’t. I was 11 days old when JFK was assassinated. My childhood was a [...]
Karmic adventures in pie shopping

My husband is a big-time-muckity-muck for a major grocery chain. Needless to say, I buy all my groceries there. Everything except the Thanksgiving pies. We had a Fresh Market here in Small City, and in case you aren’t familiar with the chain, it’s like Whole Foods only much, much, much more teeny. Think boutique. Very [...]
Really?

Blog has been down for a few days due to…well, I don’t know exactly. Hackers again, it seems. Since only people who really love me read this blog, I have no idea why they pick on this barely-trafficked little piece of the Internet. Â I do not feel honored being singled out this way, that’s for [...]
No Russian porn to see here, folks, move along

If you came here looking for Russian porn, sorry to disappoint you. Instead of sexy skanks begging for spankings using the Cyrillic alphabet, you should only find fat, frumpy, grumpy old me. This blog was highjacked for a while today by the seedy underbelly of the InterWebz or Anthony Weiner (he’s got a lot of [...]
