–It’s a little known fact that Chicago is actually located in the state of Mississippi, neighboring a massive swamp erroneously reported to be one of the Great Lakes. Tourists should be advised not to bother straightening their hair. Or applying makeup. Or showering.

let the real games begin

Our talk at Blogher is over. Done. Finito. I’m relieved, but this community is so fantastic that after our allotted 75 minutes I didn’t want the session to end.
I’d like to say that I sounded intelligent, and that I didn’t drink my weight in wine last night, but I’d be lying on [...]
drumstick, please

Today was the end of the road. The last time for a while that I’ll have to walk into the hospital and have the doctors know who I am on sight. I won’t knock on wood, but I will say that I’m going to enjoy every solitary moment that is the day of Bug’s last [...]

Can’t spare frettin’ over Nellie’s antics when the barn’s a burnin’. Or something like [...]

You should know that I’ve hidden things from this site, from you, many a time. I’ve been afraid to show you who what lies behind the (at times strained) wit. Of hurting my mother and father. Of being fired. Of shattering your image of me as a somewhat stable woman who eats Easy Mac and [...]
complications

I wish I could regale you with tales of Bug’s splendid recovery, of veterinarians in awe of my little physical prodigy as he, only hours out of surgery, takes up not only jumping from the bed to the dresser but hangliding and parasailing over the Chesapeake. How I wish.
Instead, complications abound, from a reaction to [...]
