Alcohol used to be my drug of choice. You can see how well that was working for me! As I’ve mentioned before (and will surely mention again, because that’s how I am), I suffer from chronic depression. As part of my dealing with my depression, I take drugs. I am a firm believer of…
As I have mentioned before (I think – but you know, I’m an OLD fat lady, so forgetting is part of my “charm”), I hate going to the dentist. And yet I go often. Because I have inherited my mother’s crappy teeth, it behooves me to go for cleanings every 3 months instead of every…
This is actress Jenie Jackson: This is me (in the musical Day in Hollywood/Night in the Ukraine): Holy crap! Right? I was unaware of my likeness to Jenie Jackson until a Twitter follower (who is a fan of Ms. Jackson) brought it to my attention. So am I her doppelganger (I assume that the one…
I’m sure I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. Every body is a good body. It’s true. Even if parts of your body don’t work as well as you would wish, or as well as they used to, every day your body does amazing things. Take an anatomy class, you’ll be blown away to…
I swear it’s true. After my shower, I can dry dry dry (and we all know 3 in a row wins) with my fluffy towel, and still I’m not totally dry. Face it, fat old ladies have many nooks and crannies and they seem to store water better than a camel in the desert. Being…
Not even cat shit, which we all know is the nastiest shit there is. Personally, I believe that most (if not all) women are born with a gene that allows them to deal with shit (literally). It makes evolutionary sense. Who else is going to deal with centuries of dirty diapers? Anyhow. Our beautiful…
I want to offer a special thanks to my friends who were concerned about my not blogging. It’s what I needed. I suffer from chronic depression. Sometimes pretty much okay, sometimes pretty much not okay, sometimes pretty horrible. If, as Frank Herbert wrote, fear is the mind-killer, then depression is the life eater. Depression eats…
Both of my sisters are really good cooks. The kind of cooks who can make everything from scratch. The kind of cooks who can make a meal out of whatever is at hand in the kitchen. That is so not me. I can cook – as in I can follow a recipe. I can even…
That’s MY tunes, not iTunes. I have a really big collection of CDs (as does my husband); but I’m not as good as he is in actually pulling them out and listening to them. Plus, I am mainly unmotivated to buy new CDs, unless I am supporting a friend. So, how do I listen to…
Anybody need/want a curly scarf? For as long as I have been seeing these things, I have been intrigued by curly/frilly scarves. When I was at BayCon (our local science fiction convention) last year, I went to a crafting workshop to learn how to do amigurami, and while waiting for the workshop to start, the…
