It’s my birthday. Holy crap. How did I get this old? This is the first birthday in I don’t know how long that I actually feel pretty okay about my birthday. Usually, I’d just as soon ignore the whole thing. But this year, I’m all, like, it’s my birthday dammit! No big plans.…
You know how I go days, sometimes months, without posting a blog? Well, I get ideas and then do one blog and post it, and by the time I should do another blog, I can’t think of anything to say. Sometimes, I even write multiple blogs and save them and then forget to post them…
That’s something my (maternal) grandma used to say – “You need to get out and blow the stink off of you.” And the older I get, the wiser those words become to me. Dear friends had a party, and for once, busy schedules cleared, stars aligned, etc. and we were able to attend! And a…
My sweet husband and I watched the movie Boyhood the other night. It’s a lovely movie; and if you can judge a movie by the emotions it evokes, this one certainly deserved its Oscar nomination. The emotion it evoked for me was anger. Lots and lots of anger. Instead of Boyhood, to me the movie…
Do you know what parboiling is? It’s partially cooking something by boiling. That having been said … You know when you have a pre-made entrée where you leave the film on during cooking? And they warn you to be careful when you remove the film after cooking – because it’s going to be hot? I…
A while back, I did a blog that every body is a good body. I got a job offer from that blog post! I was asked: Would you be interested in working at fetishgirls.com? Um. No. Thanks. I did go to the site and it’s what you’d expect. Now don’t get…
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 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…
