writing
Meh
There’s really something to be said for writing first thing in the morning. It’s almost midnight and I’ve been sitting here staring at my blog trying to think of something to write. Then I re-read old posts about how I have nothing to write. And old posts about how no one is reading. Quite a bit ofnavel-gazing [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Tired
I’m beat. But I’m supposed to write, so here goes. Today was an odd mix of productivity, reflection, procrastination, conversation and just plain craziness (which I realize doesn’t end in -ion. Did I mention I’m tired?)
I got no sleep due to the work issue. Then I got up this morning and tried to think about the [...]
Here We Go, Again…
Goal: To blog every day this week (yes, I know it’s a holiday), starting with this Monday morning freewrite.
I got out of bed and had a million things running through my head: my review today, the work I need to get done, the laundry I didn’t fold. Then I took the dog for a walk. [...]
For Reals
We’ve established that I’m horrible at blogging. In an effort to get better, here are some random happenings:
Some bratty kid kicked my dog at the pet store the other day. Just walked right up and kicked her. Then the parents SORTA said “sorry” before picking up the kid, hugging her and telling her it was [...]

Does anyone hear it?? I’ve completely neglected this blog. Not because nothing interesting has happened. In fact, TONS of interesting stuff has happened in the last couple of weeks. But in a bad way.
No, I’ve been absent for a number of other reasons a) i’ve been dealing with other stuff [...]
Let’s Talk about Stats, baby!
I was going to do another morning freewrite when I logged onto wordpress, checked my blog stats (as I do obsessively 3 or 4 times a day!). So I decided to scrap the freewriting idea and focus on the sexiest idea I could think of–blog stats!!
Even before logging in, I was anticipating what I would find. I’ve [...]
I’m Thinking Of…
My friend who lost his dad… He was only 60 years old. An alcoholic, but a good guy. And his mom died years ago. Now my friend doesn’t have *any* parents. What’s that like at 29? I mean, my MOM still has a mother. Yeah, she has Alzheimer’s and is in the hospital right now. But [...]

I stole this idea from http://simmonssays.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/writing-exercise/. I’ll totes give her credit.
I’m looking at 30. Yeah, that’s right. I’m getting fucking old. One of those legendary stories growing up was how, at the age of 3 or 4, I said that Madonna should retire from being a singer because she was 30. Because she was ancient. [...]
Why I Heart Lost
It’s no secret… I’m addicted to Lost. Not since my pre-teen Family Ties days have I been so enthralled with a television show. Although there have been plenty of shows that I’ve watched since, none have quite captured my interest like this one. It’s honestly the *only* show I religiously watch every week. So what [...]

When I was younger, I got in a lot of trouble. As a very little kid, I had trouble with my emotions. I would get really, really upset and angry and lash out at people—family, friends, teachers. I llwould, essentially, “flip out.”
As I got older, I learned to stifle my outbursts a bit, [...]
