I’m on my way to my swim meet shortly, and I’ve been asked if I can live blog. However, pool water + brand new macbook is probably a bad idea. However, it also so happens that I’ve just signed myself up for Twitter. The magic of that is that I can send updates from my [...]

Pants!
Thanks everyone, for the comments on yesterday’s post. In the course of my adult life, I’ve felt all the combinations: happy while in a relationship, sad while in a relationship, happy while single and now sad while single. I would never go so far as to say that I’m depressed, but I do tend to [...]

Vacation oh I want to get away
I’ve had a blank “create new post” window up for most of the day, but I’ve come to the conclusion that my life is very boring, and no one wants to hear about the gentle hum of florescent lights or the beauty of cinder block walls and the other trappings that come with The Place [...]

This just made me laugh out loud so here you go…
I hate vanity plates, a position that was cemented in the four years I spent living in Virginia where everybody’s got them. But there are some people who think outside the lines, and today Mental Floss put up pictures of vanity plates that transcend a simple combo of numbers and letters and made what I [...]

Lactard
I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend. Mine was quite enjoyable. Saturday night I went to the city to celebrate the Man of Action’s birthday. A group of us had a dinner at an Italian place downtown, and then we all went to a hotel bar in Midtown which is celebrated for its pool [...]

For the peeps
I’m going to say it: I’ve never liked Peeps. There’s so much goodness when it comes to Easter candies, including Cadbury eggs, crispy chocolate eggs and bunnies where you eat off the ears first. But Peeps were never part of my spring gorge repertoire. I’d always let my sister have the Peeps if they came [...]

And the winner is…
Deb! Of Deb on the Rocks, who guessed that I slept in until 12:32, just 8 minutes shy of the real time. I know she guessed again on a subsequent post, but I don’t count that answer because of rule 3.a, which I made up yesterday, and that stipulates that only guesses made on the [...]

12:40 PM
On Sunday, I slept in until 12:40. I think it’s the latest I’ve slept in all year, and I think I’m now officially acclimated to Daylight Saving(s) time. And to prove that I didn’t cheat, I picked out “wand,” the 40th word on the 12th page of my favorite book about wizards.

I weep for the future
Every day, I see signs that the world is deeply in the shitter. (Pardon my French.) There’s global warming, an unprovoked war that has killed thousands of people, a dollar that is barely worth the paper it’s printed on… My liberal little heart could go on and on. However, I’m also an audaciously hopeful person [...]

Wet, Tired, Chlorinated
Did you know that the weekend after next I’ll be competing in my very first swim meet? It’s going to be something of an adventure since my ankle is still healing and I’m just barely in shape. (Especially after last night’s pasta, a dangerous exception to “no cheese March.”) To get ready, I’ve been swimming [...]
