I have been in the habit of writing my blog posts last thing in the day. I figured after the accumulation of a days’ experiences, I would have more to draw from. Wrong. At the end of the day, my brain has already shut down and gone to bed, even though my fingers are still…
I am being held captive by a game I don’t particularly like, perhaps because I’m not very good at it. The game is Spider solitaire. It is one of the first things I bring up in the morning and the last thing I close before I shut down ye olde computer. The reason I have…
(I know, I was fucking adorable) I don’t really know why, but Easter has always been my favorite holiday. Maybe growing up in Michigan , I saw it as a harbinger of spring and the end of the (very long) winter. Easter meant getting a whole new outfit – new dress, new shoes, new coat…
We have a very old, totally blind black cat named Salem. Salem loves to be held. He is not a lap cat, he wants to be held up on your shoulder, like the big baby that he is. He is very old, and I feel guilty when I don’t snuggle him up. Plus, Salem is…
I just got my new membership to Costco. I haven’t had a membership to Costco for many years; mostly because I just don’t want to deal with the crowds.

I am really hard on toilet seats. Since the one before last (a fairly cheap plastic one) gave up the ghost pretty quickly, we opted for a good solid wooden one. Fucker cracked today. Now every time I sit, I am in very real danger of getting my nether region pinched – painfully. So off…
This fat old lady just doesn’t get it. So a corporation is enough of a “person” that it has freedom of speech rights; and apparently, for a corporation, “freedom of speech” equals putting money in candidates’ pockets. And now corporations want “freedom of religion rights” because they don’t want to offer certain mandatory health benefits…
I swear, every time I get one painful part of me happy by applying ice, another part starts complaining. Today, I iced my right knee, my left foot (ooh, good idea for a story – nah, it’d never sell), and my right elbow/forearm. My right knee is a known issue, fuck if I know what…
First, who is the sick fuck who put pieces of six habanero peppers in the woodchips of a school playground in Lakewood, Colorado? Second, seriously, this led to the evacuation of the school? Locking down the school would not be sufficient to keep the kids safe from habanero peppers? Makes you wonder how effective a…
