Dude, our Mega Millions ticket won!!!

Ok, so it won $7 for matching three numbers.  But hey, that’s a 700% return on the dollar we spent on the ticket. We’ll just forget about the fact that we buy a ticket three times a month or so.  

A room of one’s own

Sountrack to this post:   “I Want Everything” by Cracker (remember them from the ’90s?)            ***          Part of me wants to rent forever, being able to pick up and leave for the rest of the world whenever I want. The rest of me wants to settle down [...]

Are these your panties?

    Oh. Wow. Girls. Have you ever had that experience where you realize halfway through the day that your undies are on inside out? I would imagine this happens to me once or twice a year.

Age meditations from the snow globe…

Speaking of which… over the past week or so I have become increasingly aware of the [...]
