Not for the faint-hearted…

Let’s play “I Spy” for a moment. What do you see in this picture? 

In case all you’re seeing is a knife and some chopped chives, let me give you a hint: the good news is it wasn’t an important part of my finger. Yup. So if you still aren’t convinced, or just really want to [...]

The Good Stuff

Perhaps I have been a bit curmudgeonly the last week or so. I could present a dozen or so lousy excuses, but instead of dwelling on it I would rather point out some lovely things from the past 24 hours of my life:
1.) Yesterday at work, a few teachers and I threw a surprise party for one [...]

Health Insurance Bias and Sex Ed Advocacy, all in one long breath.

Everyone knows that health insurance business can be, well, vile and reprehensible. If you’re not aware of that, I recommend you watch the film documentary Sicko.                                                             [...]

Age meditations from the snow globe…

Yeah. It’s blizzarding. The snow is already being measured in feet, and it is still coming down, and according to meteorologists it will continue to do so for another 24 hours… just in time for my 27th birthday on Monday.
Speaking of which… over the past week or so I have become increasingly aware of the [...]

But I’m supporting a good cause!

 Oh, what dignity!
I have eaten a box and a half of Girl Scout cookies in the past 48 hours. Just what do they put in there to get everyone so hooked? Seriously, it happens all over the country: perfectly self-respecting people who normally take good care of themselves somehow waive their healthy eating habits each [...]

ssssshhhhhhh

It’s odd when I don’t feel like talking.I’m usually pretty talkative. Ok, VERY talkative. I have even been called a chatterbox. I have been told many times to shut up. For some odd reason though lately, I have just not wanted to make words come out of my mouth.I talk all day at work. I hear [...]

Update

Since writing my last post, I’m doing much better. I was in a slump, but things are looking up.
Oh… and the sliver in my finger I whined about a few posts ago? I have to have surgery to have it removed. Seriously. It never got better, so I went to an urgent care place, and [...]

panic.

Can you die from getting a splinter that you can’t get out of your left index finger? ‘Cause I’d really like to know. I have tried everything. Tweezers. A safety pin. I even dug around in my  art supplies cabinet for an x-acto knife, convinced I remember enough from high school biology class dissections to [...]

Woo-hoo!

I am having one of those occasional days when for no specific reason I feel energized , empowered, and strong enough to do anything. I’m listening to Bikini Kill… wow does that bring back odd teenage memories. I think I’ll have to grab my iPod and go for a run soon. I actually have THAT [...]

(insert clever title here)

I am so psyched to move. We don’t get the apartment until the second weekend in July, but I already have a bunch of my stuff boxed up.
I have gotten so used to living by myself (ok, so it’s only been a little less than 2 years) that at first I was a little worried [...]
