I’m nearing the end of The Year That Was Discovering All Things About Yourself and Every Other Damn Person Ever in the Whole of Existence (TAFKAP), and I couldn’t be more relieved. I am really tired of this process [insert fooling self into thinking journey ends with calendar year here].
Latest development? The Mom.
For those of [...]

The weekend was a whirlwind of turkey entrees, turkey sandwiches, very novice poker played with my family – yet again over turkey, two too many drinks and pool with the best of friends, a close talk with my mom, a trip to New York City and back within an 18-hour period, and a good bit [...]
A Thanksgiving Reminder
11.23.06 –
Enjoy your day, everyone. May the day be full of laughter, love, loads of good food and even better blogging material.
And as your mother says so something so insensitive that you consider pouring the full contents of the gravy boat into her lap, or your Great Uncle Reginald falls asleep while you’re talking to [...]
Fortuitous Meeting #3
11.21.06 –
I didn’t realize that after feeling so low yesterday morning that the day would look up.

Holiday Season Blow to the Ego #3
11.20.06 –
I didn’t realize just how important it would be that I got up a little early this morning, allowing me to put concealer under both eyes and ensure my gloves were the same color.
For as I left the house, 100 percent sass in a camel coat and flowing curls and diva sunglasses, I [...]
Here’s your neuroticism
11.18.06 –
I have a tiny history of obsessive behavior. Not a big one, like crazy stalker stuff where Mr. Letterman gets a restraining order against me even though it SO didn’t happen like he said in court, but a little, itty-bitty miniature one, like I can’t stand the thought of or the actuality of losing [...]
I’m Home Sick
11.16.06 –
I was home yesterday too.
By 8 pm I felt like a new woman. My throat wasn’t closing up any longer! I felt good enough to venture out into the world and therefore successfully suspended total atrophy for at least another day. By 10 pm I was restless. By 11 pm I [...]
LudaKris II (OR, Girls Just Wanna Have Puns)
11.14.06 –
It might have been better had I worked on Friday. The anticipation was truly almost too much to bear. Many of my closest friends and many fewer drinks and 70-degree temperatures!?!? OH MY! Did you hear me? For a brief flicker on the map of November, the thermometer registered 70 degrees, which, coupled with some [...]
