December 25, 2011
Through my son, I have felt the magic of Christmas once again; it might possibly be even more divine this time around.
Saturday
Friday
December 23, 2011
I totally phoned it in this year regarding Christmas, and I know this, and now it's too late for me to change it.
Thursday
December 22, 2011
The saudade runs deep this time of year.
Wednesday
December 21, 2011
Well, I now look and feel like a giant ass for not getting my coworkers Christmas gifts; they really spoiled me today.
Tuesday
December 20, 2011
The sadness always catches up with me, with a vengeance, when I leave it behind for a couple of days.
Monday
Sunday
December 18, 2011
I really wish my body would quit messing with me and setting me up for a major disappointment.
Saturday
December 17, 2011
An aptly timed email to me included: "Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes."
December 16, 2011
I think of far worse things than a quiet, cozy Friday evening spent on the couch, watching American Horror Story.
Thursday
Wednesday
December 14, 2011
I am officially addicted to StumbleUpon.
Tuesday
December 13, 2011
Would it kill my left brain to allow my right brain to take over every now and then?
Monday
December 12, 2011
Well, I guess there's no point in continuing to deny it: I really am infertile now.
Sunday
December 11, 2011
Well, that was a waste of a weekend--and not in a good way.
Saturday
Friday
December 9, 2011
Want, want, want; can't have, can't have, can't have.

Today I scheduled my long-overdue hair appointment for next weekend, and I am already feeling a bit better about myself because of it.
Monday
December 5, 2011
I'm getting pretty close to making a major overhaul and some improvements in my appearance; it's way past time for me to start caring about how I look.
Sunday
Saturday
December 3, 2011
But the day after being all scotched up...not so good.
Friday
Thursday
December 1, 2011
Good thing I have an appointment with my therapist tomorrow; it's been a rough week.
Wednesday
November 30, 2011
I would like to apologize to everyone in my life; I feel like I have been half-assing everything lately.
Tuesday
Monday
November 28, 2011
I am going to transcribe the scene from the "Subway/Pamela" episode of Louie wherein Louis C.K. tells Pamela how he really feels about her; it floored me, and I can't stop thinking about it.
Sunday
November 27, 2011
Sometimes I guess there just aren't enough scotch drinks.
Friday
Thursday
November 24, 2011
I am thankful for the very small, but meaningful, family gathering in my own home today.

Monday
November 21, 2011
Age will always be more than just a number, contrary to the popular platitude.
Sunday
November 20, 2011
This weekend I got the rest and the family quality time that I desperately needed.
Saturday
November 19, 2011
It's difficult for me to get in the holiday spirit when I'm sweating.
Friday
November 18, 2011
Oh, weekend, please be kind to me and let me catch up on my rest.
Thursday

I can't move on if I keep dreaming about it.
Saturday
November 12, 2011
What, No-Shave November is for men only?
Friday
November 11, 2011
I paid for the random person behind me in the drive-thru at Krispy Kreme and was feeling pretty good about myself for a record 3 hours or so, then I was shat upon by someone I thought was a friend at work.
Thursday
November 10, 2011
A night without technology is a year without food.
Tuesday
Monday
November 7, 2011
Rainy Mondays are pretty much holy to me, especially after Daylight Saving Time ends--lots of introspection.
Sunday
November 6, 2011
Oh, the end of Daylight Saving Time, how I love you so.
Saturday
November 5, 2011
I could really get used to having a third set of hands around the house; thanks, Grandpa Brian!
Friday

The father-in-law is visiting; should be a fun weekend--no sarcasm!
Thursday
Wednesday
November 2, 2011
November is my favorite month of the year: wedding anniversary, Thanksgiving, preparation for Christmas...
Tuesday
November 1, 2011
Seriously, life is too short for me to be spending my days this stressed out.
Monday
October 31, 2011
I can't wait for my (sick) little vampire to wake up so I can dress him in his costume and hang out with him on one of my favorite nights of the year!
Sunday
October 30, 2011
And today we got to be acquainted with the local pediatric urgent-care clinic.
Saturday
October 29, 2011
Today's trip to the emergency room for my out-of-control asthma was later offset by the cuteness of my son at the pumpkin patch, but now our pumpkin is running a high fever.
Friday
October 28, 2011
I want to close my eyes for, like, several days.
Thursday
October 27, 2011
The first cool snap of the season + World Series game on TV tonight = happiness.
Wednesday
October 26, 2011
I write for a living, so why do I suck at it?
Tuesday
October 25, 2011
I'm hoping today's blood work leads to tomorrow's answers.
Monday
October 24, 2011
Kick me when I'm down, everybody--come on, it's great fun!
Sunday
October 23, 2011
I didn't do all I wanted to do this weekend, and I am not prepared for the coming week; the last thing I need is a repeat of the horribleness that was last week.
Saturday
October 22, 2011
I guess I'll be getting my thyroid checked; this hair loss is just alarming at this point.
Friday
October 21, 2011
A week awful enough for the record books is coming to an end; please let next week be gentler to me.
Thursday
October 20, 2011
Excited for game 2 of the World Series--go, Rangers!
Wednesday
October 19, 2011
This week is shaping up to be just fabulous; today's big event was a (non-injury) car accident.
Tuesday
October 18, 2011
The first truly cool day of the season always blows in with it a hint of nostalgia.
Monday
October 17, 2011
Happiness is where you find it; I've turned everything in the house upside down and am running out of places to look for it.
Sunday
Saturday
October 15, 2011
I got a huge kick out of watching my son and the other kids at his buddy's birthday party today--happy toddlers are such a joy.

The little one and I enjoyed a relaxing stroll around our neighborhood on this gorgeous, cloudless autumn day.

The ALCS is really causing a backlog on my DVR.
Wednesday
Tuesday
October 11, 2011
Another month begins, and where my contentedness used to be, a chasm widens.
Monday
October 10, 2011
Between the OCD, raw hands, and anxiety attacks, it's no wonder my hair is still falling out.
Sunday
Saturday
October 8, 2011
All of this waiting and wondering is going to kill me eventually.
Friday
October 7, 2011
I am concerned about the things I'd do for a Xanax right now...Well, not really...Maybe.
Wednesday
October 5, 2011
And I didn't meet my neighbors during National Night Out after all; my social anxiety got the better of me.
Tuesday
October 4, 2011
National Night Out = me committing a bunch of social faux pas in front of all my neighbors.
Monday
October 3, 2011
If we combine every person in this house, we make one able-bodied person.
Sunday
October 2, 2011
I had a dream last night that I was going to be executed via hanging for a trivial nonviolent crime, and no one--not even the crappiest of lawyers in town--would associate himself or herself with me to try to save me; I woke up to a wet pillow.
Saturday
October 1, 2011
October: the month during which I play Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video (and the documentary of the making of said video) pretty much on repeat.
Friday
September 30, 2011
No, no, I just posted my sentence for the day, but I want to change it: I just noticed I lost a blog follower today, and I care more about it than I really should, so I just need to get over it, and wow look at this run-on sentence.
Thursday
September 29, 2011
Rediscovering the brilliance that is "Fahrenheit Fair Enough"; perfect mood music for this moment in my life.
Wednesday
September 28, 2011
How can I ever do any self-improvement when I barely even have time to eat?
Tuesday
September 27, 2011
If someone would be so kind as to enter my name for one of those makeover shows, please and thank you.
Monday
September 26, 2011
I'm so burned out, I have nary an interesting thought in my head anymore.
Sunday
September 25, 2011
I think I've finally found my mutant power: disappointing everyone.
Saturday
September 24, 2011
Enjoyed seeing my son open his birthday gifts from his e-aunties today!

Driving past the one Frank Lloyd Wright-designed residence in this city, I wonder about its inhabitant(s): What worries do you have, and how do they compare, in gravity, to my own?
Monday
Sunday
September 18, 2011
A Sunday drive followed by a Sunday-night rainstorm: ahhhhh.
Saturday
September 17, 2011
Play dates and hot air balloons and friends--the way a Saturday should be.
Friday
Thursday
September 15, 2011
I'm so bitter, even mosquitoes are repulsed by me.
Wednesday
September 14, 2011
I'm already anxious and twitching over this coming weekend's social activities.
Tuesday
September 13, 2011
How does one stop a downward spiral without outside help?
Monday
Sunday
Saturday
September 10, 2011
Can I pretty, pretty please go for at least two weeks without getting sick?
Friday
September 9, 2011
Got a raise today; I'm still trying to process this, given how long it's been since I last got one.
Thursday
September 8, 2011
"But darkness makes me fumble / For a key / To a door / That's wide open."
Wednesday
September 7, 2011
I am beginning to realize, perhaps too late in life, that being as nice as I can be isn't always the best course of action.
Tuesday
September 6, 2011
How can I remove this impenetrable cloak of invisibility that shrouds me?
Monday
September 5, 2011
A day with a high below 90 degrees is a day during which I smile.
Saturday
September 3, 2011
I broke down today and took half a Xanax; I am now feeling like a (relaxed) failure.
Friday
September 2, 2011
I don't know, Frank Sinatra--Friday night seems pretty dang lonely too.

It's September now; can we please see an end to the heat?

Duh-DUH-duh-duh-duh, I've got the Sudafed Blues.
Tuesday

I don't know what I'd do or where I'd be without my Pookie.
Monday
August 29, 2011
Rainy Monday mornings are where it's at--especially during a relentlessly smoldering August.
Sunday
August 28, 2011
Unmatched is the pride of a mother whose almost-toddler is learning so easily and quickly.
Saturday
August 27, 2011
It's so good to hear my baby laughing once again.
Friday
August 26, 2011
Waiting over the weekend for pathology results is not as relaxing as it sounds.
Thursday
August 25, 2011
No deep vein thrombosis, no blood-thinning medication, no stress (over myself, anyway)!
Wednesday
August 24, 2011
No blood clots in my legs, but now still awaiting word on whether I have to resume my blood-thinning medication.
Tuesday
August 23, 2011
Please, please, please don't let me have deep vein thrombosis; my sick baby needs me.
Monday
August 22, 2011
I can't believe it has already been eight years since Joey proposed to me.

Wednesday
Tuesday
August 16, 2011
I want to be somewhere very far away from here.
Monday
August 15, 2011
Thankful for this day off...but...I need more than one day.
August 14, 2011
It was nice to be off the grid this weekend--well, off the grid except for all those times I checked in at places via Foursquare.
Saturday
Thursday
August 11, 2011
I think I spend more time at the pediatrician's office than I do at work.
Wednesday
August 10, 2011
I feel especially off my game today; can't quite pinpoint it.
Tuesday
August 9, 2011
I wish I cared as little about others' lives as they care about mine.
Monday
August 8, 2011
I, myself, am hanging on to every word I say, just wondering what's going to come out next.
Sunday
August 7, 2011
Sunday, otherwise known as the one day of the week with quality prime-time television programming.
Saturday
August 6, 2011
Actually had fun face-to-face social interaction today with people I don't hate...how refreshing.
Friday
August 5, 2011
I hate my outdated wardrobe, but I also hate shopping; this is a conundrum to which I am not likely to find a solution anytime soon.
Thursday
August 4, 2011
I sure am in high demand these days; too bad it's only in a professional capacity.
Wednesday
August 3, 2011
Looks like it'll be another fun evening at the pediatrician's office.
Tuesday
August 2, 2011
My body had better do what it's supposed to do, and soon.
Monday
August 1, 2011
At what temperature do tires begin melting?
Sunday
Saturday
July 30, 2011
I probably shouldn't have watched "There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane" tonight.
Friday
July 29, 2011
This summer heat is so insane, it ruined my baby's formula while it was being delivered from Amazon.com; I cannot articulate how angry this makes me.
Thursday
Wednesday
July 27, 2011
A positive thought, for once: I love my son's laugh and wish for it to be the soundtrack of our lives together.
Tuesday
Monday
Sunday
July 24, 2011
I love Sunday nights (for a limited time only): "Breaking Bad," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and "True Blood"--a trifecta of good TV shows.
Saturday
July 23, 2011
Have I mentioned before that I would pay good money for a full day and a full night of "me" time and rest?
Friday
Thursday
July 21, 2011
A side-effect of being overwhelmed is a salty face.
Wednesday
July 20, 2011
This is the longest bad day ever; it has been going on for a whole week now.
Tuesday
Monday
Sunday
July 17, 2011
Wondering how this week is going to go since I didn't meet my minimum sleep quota this weekend; I'm not feeling refreshed at all.
Saturday
July 16, 2011
How about a little rain for my parched, crispy yard and my withering, cobweb-covered soul?
Friday
July 15, 2011
So, I just wrote a literature review on surgical therapy for atrial fibrillation, and you can bet your ass I'll brag about it.
Thursday
July 14, 2011
I'm normally a skeptic, but I can always tell when there's a full moon, not by looking at the moon itself but by observing the elevated levels of stupidity in the atmosphere.
Wednesday
July 13, 2011
How long will it be before I know how to react to appreciation in the workplace?
Tuesday
July 12, 2011
I just noticed yesterday that I've developed some killer calf muscles, for the first time ever, from all the running I've been doing the past couple of months.
Monday
July 11, 2011
I missed my free 7-Eleven Slurpee today, but I did finally eat some tasty In-n-Out Burger for the first time ever.

RIP Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, and thank you both.
Sunday
July 3, 2011
Independence Day fireworks around here would be a lot better if hundreds of thousands of other people didn't want to watch them as well.
July 2, 2011
I know I'm about 19 minutes too late, but I just need to say that I thoroughly enjoyed being (more) useless today.
Friday
July 1, 2011
So let me get this straight: I be nice to you, then you shut me out?
Thursday
June 30, 2011
I sometimes wonder if anyone is secretly jealous of me, but then I promptly answer myself with a "pfshhh."
Wednesday
June 29, 2011
Happy 35th birthday to my loving husband--now we're both over the hill!
Tuesday
June 28, 2011
Is there a deeper, emptier, colder darkness than that of postpartum depression?
Monday
June 27, 2011
Well, at least professionally, I'm a hot commodity right now...Talk about getting my just deserts.
Sunday
June 26, 2011
If silence implies consent, then quite a few people must agree with me.
Friday
Thursday
June 23, 2011
I certainly do know how to put the 'one' in 'alone'.
Wednesday
June 22, 2011
Maybe my best years are behind me, but...I always wonder if I have an undiscovered talent, like acting, for which it's too late for me to cultivate...?
Tuesday
June 21, 2011
As bad as thing might be for me sometimes, I always want to fix things for other people; this is a character flaw for me, but only because I cannot help them.
Monday
June 20, 2011
Being an integral part of something big at work--something JAMA-worthy--put a little bit of a swagger in my step today.
Sunday
June 19, 2011
A personalized hardcover book, a huge churrascaria lunch, and family: the ingredients of a perfect first Father's Day for my love.
Saturday
June 18, 2011
In the past 24 hours, I've pretty much made up my mind that, whenever we are in a position to move again, we will be moving to Central Texas if we are limited to staying within this state; I am not supposed to be here in Dallas.
Friday
June 17, 2011
No matter how many times I type and delete this sentence, I still feel sick with betrayal and dread.

The LeBron jokes made an ordinarily mundane Monday less so.
Sunday
June 12, 2011
I know there's no crying in baseball, but what about in basketball--because I totally need a tissue or two right now.
Saturday
June 11, 2011
Am I just on a losing streak, or do Italians really make a lot of boring-ass films?
Friday
June 10, 2011
I always look forward to visiting my OB/GYN, aka, The Man Who Saved My Life.
Wednesday
Tuesday
June 7, 2011
She's just an innocent little baby; why is this happening to her?
Monday
June 6, 2011
I'm positive that I have a negativity problem.
Sunday
June 5, 2011
A stomach bug would be a better biologic weapon than, say, anthrax; at least there are some anthrax vaccines, and some strains of it are treatable with antibiotics.
Friday
June 3, 2011
I'm running in place / the world is passing me by / no matter how hard I try / I fall off the pace

From whence did these stomach butterflies come, and how can I exterminate them?
Saturday
May 28, 2011
My gently used Precor treadmill has arrived, and just in time for the killer Texas summer heat--now I don't have an excuse not to get in shape!
Friday
May 27, 2011
Oh, my...Why did I have to have that kind of dream about...Mark Cuban?
Wednesday
May 25, 2011
Nothing breaks me quite like the news of the death of a new parent.
Tuesday
May 24, 2011
Major storms this evening--the most powerful I've seen in years, with several funnel clouds, sirens, baseball-size hail, and lightning; we're okay, so far.
Monday
May 23, 2011
Some days, the "positivity journal" in which I write requires a great degree of exaggeration.
Sunday
May 22, 2011
Thunderstorms...Why must everything that delights me be so destructive?
Saturday
May 21, 2011
It's difficult to remain optimistic about humanity when you, yourself, are robbed by a fellow human.
Friday
May 19, 2011
I know it's technically too late for "today's" entry, but I just got home from a Mavericks game; they lost, but it was a blast anyway!
Wednesday
May 18, 2011
I had breakfast with an amazing group of physicians, PhDs, and other healthcare administration experts this morning; I was humbled and inspired to do more, be more, live more.
Tuesday
May 17, 2011
Something I can get used to feeling: a mother's pride.
Monday
Sunday
May 15, 2011
Ice, ice, ice--all I want to do is chew on ice.
Saturday
May 14, 2011
Sometimes I just want to bite down on something--pretty much anything--really, really hard.
Friday
May 13, 2011
Well, Blogger was down last night and today, so it's a good thing I didn't have anything important to say then--or now.
Wednesday
May 11, 2011
He who says e-friends aren't real friends probably doesn't have any e-friends as awesome as my e-friends.
Tuesday
May 10, 2011
I know I've been saying it, but this time I'm doing it, for real--I'm going to bed early.
Monday
May 9, 2011
It's hard for me to find 3 positive things to write down in my "daily positivity journal" when everyone keeps shitting on me.
Sunday
May 8, 2011
I didn't get a Mother's Day gift or meal or other such gesture today, and my parents told me not to come visit them (they'd rather watch basketball on TV); I am getting very, very tired of feeling like a kicked puppy.
Saturday
May 7, 2011
I helped a friend move into his huge new house today and felt genuinely proud of him for working so hard to achieve the success that allowed him to make this monumental purchase.
Friday
May 6, 2011
Looking forward to getting back to running this weekend, now that my knees have fully recovered.
Thursday
May 5, 2011
I really dig helping others, but, man, when is someone gonna help me?
Wednesday
May 4, 2011
Like the wind that carries a balloon, I am an invisible force--inconsequential until I am needed.
Tuesday
Monday
May 2, 2011
Osama bin Laden is dead: relief, fear, and morbid curiosity float weightlessly in my beer.
Sunday
May 1, 2011
The air is brisk and damp on this first day of May, and I, for one, am enjoying this last blast of cool before the scorching torture of summer arrives.
Friday
Thursday
April 28, 2011
I bought exactly two items at Walgreens today, baby formula and beer--don't judge.
Wednesday
April 27, 2011
Where, exactly, would I wear a cheongsam, anyway?
Tuesday
April 26, 2011
Why, oh why, is it so damned difficult to find Java Monster Lo-Ball drinks in this godforsaken city?
Monday
April 25, 2011
The bad news is, I have bursitis in both knees; the good news is (and this truly is fabulous news), I got the go-ahead from my doctor to stop taking my blood-thinners!
Sunday
April 24, 2011
My son's first Easter was a success: The Easter Bunny was very generous (he overestimated the size of Torin's basket), and our family had a nice road trip to and around Paris, Texas (for no particular reason).
Saturday
April 23, 2011
As a reward for all my hard work in the Couch-to-5K program (assuming my knees will allow me to continue), I would like to buy myself a custom-made cheongsam that accentuates my svelteness.
Friday
April 22, 2011
To do my part for Earth Day, I drove aaaall the way to my doctor's office--after calling to make sure they were there today--only to find out that they had indeed gone home early; that was gas well spent.
Thursday
April 21, 2011
I want vindication like I want Chick-fil-A on Sundays.
Wednesday
April 20, 2011
Yesterday's run, just after a thunderstorm, was truly exhilarating, but today's knee pain has me wincing and wondering.
Monday
Sunday
April 17, 2011
I went to the mall this weekend for the first time in a long while...And, yep, people are still stupid.
Saturday
April 16, 2011
The Easter Bunny is creepier to me now than he was when I was a child.
Friday
April 15, 2011
Well, now that the baby is asleep, I guess it's just me and Mr. Xanax tonight.
Thursday
April 14, 2011
Today's run wasn't as good as the past two I've done; I guess everyone has her "off" day every now and again.
Wednesday
Tuesday
April 12, 2011
I wrote yesterday's post today, and I am using today's post to explain that--nonsensical, yes?
Monday
April 11, 2011
Perfume, a home-cooked dinner, cards, emails, texts, phone calls, and Facebook messages all add up to a very satisfactory birthday experience!

My son's surgery went well, and he seems to be a lot better off this evening than I am.
Wednesday

I've never needed Xanax as badly as I do tonight, on the eve of my 6-month-old boy's first (and hopefully last) surgery.
Tuesday
April 5, 2011
Yep, I'm taking my blood-thinning medication with sips of my beer--living life on the razor's edge.

I much prefer the days during which I actually get things done.
Sunday

As evidenced by the proportion of the US population that is obese, it is ridiculously expensive to maintain a healthy lifestyle--I mean, $3000+ for a quality treadmill?
Saturday

As hot as it may get here in North Texas, it will never hold a candle to the fiery heat with which I hate this place.
Friday

I'm just now beginning to watch the series "Big Love"; I am intrigued by the polygamy--and incensed by its patriarchy.
Thursday

I am so, so tired of looking at the world through the rear window and windshield of the SUV in front of me.
Wednesday
March 30, 2011
And tonight I shall be adding two--yes, two--more anti-anxiety medications to my regimen.
Tuesday

I smile and I nod and I do what other people want/tell me to do.
Monday

When I said I wanted to be shocked and blown away, this isn't what I had in mind: a friend's home burning down to the ground and a friend with a possible stroke or MS?

As is always the case at this time of year, I am really, really longing to be in Miami for the Ultra Music Festival--although I am disappointed that they deigned to host Will.i.am this time around.

Oh, Armin van Buuren, the naughty things I'd do to you...if I weren't a married mother and you weren't a world-famous DJ with thousands of better-looking chicks throwing themselves at you.

The thought-virus that is Rebecca Black's "Friday" has embedded itself in my auditory cortex; I fear night terrors and cold sweats.
Sunday

My self-fulfilling prophecy of the week is that, because I like this new job so much, I'll suck at it and thusly be fired.
Saturday
March 19, 2011
Tonight's "supermoon" unites all the star-crossed lovers out there who let it shine upon their faces...a beacon of connectedness.

Are we not all anchored with someone else's weight, kept from being buoyed and swept away by a tide of fulfillment?
Thursday

I have managed to wander bleary-eyed and apathetically through yet another St. Patrick's Day; why break tradition now?

Wishing a very happy 90th birthday to my Granny; I hope I live to be half as old!

Every time there's a new update for the Facebook app on my phone, I hope, in vain, that this will be the magical update that makes the app stop sucking.

This warfarin (aka Coumadin aka rat poison) is ruining my life.
Friday
March 11, 2011
My hurt feelings never scab over; there's no coagulation--just a steady stream of emotion as my heart bleeds out.

I hope the thieves enjoy their trip to the 1990s made possible by our checking account--Tommy Hilfiger clothes, seriously?

New-job orientation is 50% complete, and I am still 100% nervous about my first real day at work.
Sunday
March 6, 2011
I haven't experienced this night-before-starting-new-job anxiety in 3 1/2 years; oh, the trepidation!

I never seem to remember exactly how discriminating my taste is until I try shopping for shoes.

Today was bittersweet, as I left a job that used to be enjoyable but was made dreadful by incompetence (not mine).

All of this hacking and coughing and snorting has got to end at some point, right?

I'm sorely missing a certain Warped friend today, for some reason.

It rained today; I soaked up every last bedazzling drop with delight.
Wednesday

Although I am legitimately ill, I feel incredibly guilty for using this day to rest while the baby is at daycare.
Tuesday
February 22, 2011
I fed the parking-lot payment machine a $10 before I read the sign that said "No Change Given"; my $5 change goes to some schmuck while he chases the starving homeless people off his lot.

We're about to leave for our first date night since the baby was born, and I am hoping that I can stop worrying about him long enough to have a good time.

Dare I venture that someone thinks I am worth something after all?

When can I stop defining myself by what I do and start defining myself by who I am?

I am preoccupied by the very idea of Tyche, the theoretical gas giant lurking out there in the Oort cloud.

Have I mentioned how much I hate blogging from my phone while my home Internet connection continues to suck?

Nearly a month later, I am still trying to get this NOOKcolor figured out so that I can officially begin my quest to read one book about every US President.
Friday
February 11, 2011
I wonder when I will get to stop taking this rat poison known as warfarin so that I can get back to things that are near and dear to me--scotch, beer, aspirin, Advil, and green vegetables.

Memories are gifts bought for our porous senses when life affords us more than we expected.

Memories are receipts for the tolls our senses pay when life meanders off its prevailing path.

Steampunk has gotten me interested in clothes, shoes, and jewelry--a feat I thought was impossible for a jeans-and-T-shirt tomboy like me!

Torin enjoyed the Super Bowl more than anyone else in our household; make of that what you will.
Saturday
February 5, 2011
I can't rightly make fun of the people in the comic-book store, because they at least have a hobby.
Friday
February 4, 2011
Although today was Torin's first official snow day, and I love the cold and a thick blanket of snow, I desperately need to leave this house.

This the third day in a row that icy roads have kept me at home, and the cabin fever is only going to get worse.

A new haircut and color--the best I've ever had--sure can make me feel attractive again.

The first day of daycare for my son: sad but necessary.
Tuesday

Why do employers want you to jump through their hoops and give it 110%, only to not acknowledge said effort, not even with a "No Thanks"?
