The last night I partied too hard was in December of 2005. I partied so hard that I ended up with only one flip flop and no keys. I spent the next day calling friends: begging for a ride to work or clues on where my keys were. That day, I was so frazzled and... Continue Reading →
cool breeze
Tonight, the air was thick with an impending storm. I hurried about the little chores that had to be done beforehand frantically. I brought in the waste cans, retrieved the mail, forced Tucker to hurry up outside. I started the dinner and called to make sure Steve was over halfway home. Then the gray sky... Continue Reading →
memorial day
In Flanders Fields In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now... Continue Reading →
home sweet tucker
Four years ago, I came home from my second job to see this wriggly little puppy whining in a kennel. He quickly became mine and Steve's baby. We spoil him. Every morning, he gets part of Steve's egg. Every evening, he gets a couple pieces of the meat du jour. We take him on a... Continue Reading →
no offense
My blog is no big deal: my viewing public isn't so huge that my website is going to crash from all the traffic I get anytime soon. But the few blog followers I do have happen to be the people I see frequently in real life. Which is really limiting my blogging options. I can't... Continue Reading →

Koli got screwed on Biggest Loser 9
I'm boycotting the Biggest Loser. I know they're really going to feel that loss when their ratings drop from 11.7 million viewers to 11,699,999 viewers. They might even have to start over with a new concept: like anorexic people putting ON weight. If any of you watch the show, you know what happened so I... Continue Reading →
i dream of the perfect plaza
Do you remember when I said I'd love to pick around 12 business or so to stick in a plaza near my home so I'd never have to leave this mile radius? Well, I had some extra time on my hands.If you could stick this on the NE corner of 156th/Harrison, I'd be very grateful.... Continue Reading →
Misinterpretations
At Matt and Emily's wedding reception two weeks ago, my youngest suitor, 4-year-old Mason, went onto the dance floor, grabbed the microphone and dedicated Owl City's "Fireflies" to me. But instead of singing, "I'd like to make myself believe" he belts out "bleed" and makes the juvenille ditty sound like a song about suicide.Here are... Continue Reading →
