The terrible trouble with gizmos

I’m faced with a dilemma I would never have expected to deal on the matter of a smart phone. I don’t want one, I can’t really afford one, and yet, the pressure is mounting for me to get one of the damnable things. I only succumbed to cell phone owne… more »

Mudslides, REM sleep and the wonders of tea cocktails

Lately my best friend and I have been on a bit of a tea kick. This weekend we learned something new, something dangerous, something that led to blender drinks and a very strange night’s sleep, (or lack thereof). I’ve not made a blender drink in oh….… more »

Submissions: Round 2

It’s been my experience that some things get easier with time and practice, riding a bike, walking in high heels, even public speaking. There are some things though, that I am beginning to suspect are always going to cause me to break out in a cold swea… more »

The wonders of the human memory.

Or, “Now I remember why I stopped online dating.” Yes, yes, I know. I swore off online dating a year ago and vowed to the sun the moon and the stars above I was never going back; I’m a terribly flawed human being. But that’s beside the point. No… more »

Sunspots and Sleep deprivation

I had such plans… I was going to have banished the dust bunnies, worked on tweaking a novel for submission, organized my life and possibly created world peace if I could squeeze it in. And yet somehow, none of the above actually got completed in the l… more »

The sun is shining, right through my dirty windows.

Ah, Spring. That glorious time of year when the flowers bloom, the birds sing, and the dust bunnies come out of hiding. Winter comes with a sort of cloak of invisibility. The nights come early, the days are grey with the sun rarely making an appearan… more »
