I have had enough. Seriously. You know what I’m doing when I get home? GOING TO A SPA. Where they can rub me with hot stones or salt or some shit. It’s starting to feel like all my free time has been spent recovering. This all started way back in October – my neck was […]

SWF Seeking…
I’ve been in and out of therapy/counseling for just a few years shy of a couple decades. I don’t think I ever stuck with any of them for more than a month or so – except for one that I would see for a couple months, then stop, then start again, then stop. Eventually I […]
here and there
I am in St Louis, Missouri, writing you from yet another hotel room and right about now I’m ready to give up this job to be a library clerk or something. No, not really, but after not being home for 3 weeks (working for 2, then a week for Christmas), being home for 5 days, […]
you can’t please all of the people all of the time
When I was a vegetarian and even when I was a vegan for a few weeks (could never give up cheese and cream for longer than that), I was never the preachy sort. I might have been, but I was too busy fending off attacks from the meat eaters. I never understood why my personal […]
not for the vegetarian-hearted
My Christmas is full of funny stories, and that’s in progress. But first: Our New Year’s Eve dinner was nothing if not decadent. I took notes up until dessert so that I’d remember every last bite. We went back to Valentino’s, because I have sentimental feelings for them now (first oyster, the veal cheek, etc) […]
New Year, indeed.
That’s just what it is. New year, and kinda hopin’ for a little same old.

I am still sick, so here…
I would love to tell you about Seattle (oh, Seattle) but I am still sick and I am tired tired tired of feeling incapacitated. An hour ago I had a panic attack about the fact that I can’t breathe and now I’m convinced that I shouldn’t sleep tonight or I just might. Stop breathing, that […]
sick & tired
I’d love to tell you about Seattle (loved it, want to move) but am sick. I’m “I want to crawl into a hole and die – at least until this passes” sick.
USA! USA! (pt 1)
*** Since this was turning out to be an incredibly long post, I’m splitting into many parts*** You know what? I’m not kidding, I’ve been reading articles about the elections, and looking at reaction photos from around the world, and I’ve honestly been getting a bit teary-eyed. – It already looked like Obama had it […]
Nail-biting
Have been puttering around the house, trying to avoid all newscasts, online news, conversations relating to the election. It’s not because I’m not interested, but because the SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME and I just want to wake up and be told that Obama won the election by a landslide. Anything else is simply unthinkable.
almost 1 year ago today
Hank & I decided that our anniversary should be the day we met, face to face. Instead of the day we first communicated or emailed – in those first couple messages, he was cocky from the get-go, I was slightly cold & shooting him down. He liked my spirit, I was impressed with the way […]
