Typically, I’m not one to make resolutions for the New Year. I gave that mess up a long time ago, mainly due to my consistent serial failure with such attempts. It’s hard to predict what’s coming in any given month, never mind 12 of them, so there’s always […]
Dear Beloved Friends Who Make My Life Complete, No, I haven’t been drinking, despite that suspect, gushy opening and my whispered-about reputation in certain circles. (I did think about doing such, earlier this evening, so there is a certain element of truth behind the gossip, but I […]
I know what you’re thinking: I do questionable things all the time. What makes this day any different? But this one is legit. Well, sort of. When dawn breaks on the first day of November, I will be embarking on my seventh voyage with NaNoWriMo (for those who […]

1. Trying to stonewash my own jeans, using bleach, because buying the real thing was too damn expensive. (And failing miserably with the home-school fashion update, reducing the denim to the consistency of mosquito netting.) 2. Playing “Quarters” with my college peeps, never pausing to consider that it […]
Another dusty relic from the archives. I realize I should spend less time excavating and more time creating, but there’s a certain warmth in looking back and remembering when. Enjoy. In yet another example of having too much time on my hands, I once embarked on a […]
