I am very proud of how quickly I have picked up the ukulele. I have learned a lot in just five months. However, today, one of my co-workers brought his guitar into the office. Wow. Just wow. Okay. He’s been playing for 30 years, but oh the beautiful pure sound! I don’t suppose you can…
A few months ago, the fan in my bathroom stopped working. This is a problem. Fans in bathrooms are important. Without a fan, your bathroom mirrors will stay fogged up. Your towels stay damp. And bathroom smells don’t go away. Not only is the cat box in my bathroom, but despite my assertions to the…
I sing. In fact, I’m a pretty good singer. For awhile I made my living singing, and I got that gig from singing. However, the only instrument I have ever mastered is the French Horn. It is not possible to accompany yourself singing with the French Horn. I tried piano. However, at the best of…
Want to make your life just a little bit more exciting? I didn’t. In fact exciting is something I devoutly desire to avoid. But that didn’t stop me from wearing a skirt, no pantyhose, and discovering (as I was headed through the lobby at work) that I was wearing underwear that had some very iffy…
I’ll tell you who’s the boss of me – our cats. Yes, we have cats, which means you are, from time to time, going to be hearing cat stories. Sorry. I’m still on the right side of the line of crazy cat lady, but just barely; and the cats are behind me pushing every day…

I now have my M|RI scheduled. Amazingly enough the huge HMO does have an open MRI – and not far from me. WHY this information was not known to the HMO facilities in San Jose (when the HMO facilities I am being sent to is in Santa Clara – about 10-15 miles from each other)…
Remember when you were a kid and no matter how hard you tried, you always seemed to button your jacket, sweater, shirt wrong? So you went around all day with one end higher and one end lower instead of the desired symmetry – until someone either fixed it for you or you were forced to…
No, seriously. I am fat – really fat. This is not new, and it certainly is not a secret. (Dressing in black or vertical stripes is not going to cut it, okay?) People who meet me notice. I am not complaining. I know I’m fat. It’s okay. I am okay with me. I have had…
My niece Marci has had her baby and it’s a girl! Yippee. Welcome Lenora Ann! Marci was one of those people who didn’t know the gender of her baby before it popped out. Personally, I WANT TO KNOW NOW!!!! Always. Otherwise, the kid is going to spend the first few months in yellow and green. …
