Or at least, they saved my face! It’s morning, I have had a sip of coffee, but (obviously) not enough caffeine to get the morning dust bunnies out of my head. I lean over to pick up my sweater from the kitchen chair – and WHAM …. I jam my face (more particularly my left…
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.…
My darling hubby loves trees. They soothe him. And while the City of San Jose is not a cement jungle, it’s not a forest either. This is why our trip to Glacier, Washington was such a treat for him. Well, we now have a soothing place to go that is much much closer. Only an…
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…
Many years ago, I met and started doing shows with and for the fabulously talented Pamela Hall. (Here’s a link to a recent article on Pamela, while she was directing off-Broadway’s Danny and Sylvia. http://stlukestheatre.com/2012/01/19/7108/) What the article fails to mention is Pamela and her husband Ed Gaynes (the original Slightly in the Mary Martin…
(The neighbor’s house) The place that’s kitty-corner from our little house just sold after 1 weekend of open house. They were asking $425,000, and I’m guessing by how quick it sold, they got their asking price. Holy crap. Our place is the exact same layout. The house (like ours) is 875 square feet (not counting…
Okay – yesterday was my dear husband’s birthday. And I had rehearsal. Shit. I feel bad about that. And I want you to know, that my husband in no way made me feel bad about this. He is much too nice for that. The feeling bad part was created in my own busy little mind.…
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…
You may well ask. Especially since I’ve been absent for a month. Well, the appropriate answer is of course “here” (get it, up to here – I crack myself up – now back to reality). I’ve mostly been here with no excuse for not writing blog posts. However, I did get my fat old lady…
Okay, that title sounds disgusting. What I mean is, I made a goulash recipe that called for the addition of water and flour to thicken it – something that I usually avoid (explaining all the “soupy” meals I foist on my hubby) because it scares me and because I personally cannot abide flour lumps in…
