I hurt too much to think of a clever title for this.

I’m home! And alive! Mostly. I have many stories to share, but I’m far to high to write them now because my last night in Alaska I had such an terrific rheumatoid arthritis attack that I was fairly sure I was going to die. At around midnight the cruise ship med staff wheeled me toContinue reading “I hurt too much to think of a clever title for this.”

Someone get them a dictionary.

I just got a form-letter blog pitch from a PR agency congratulating me on my “bludgeoning career“. I’m going to assume they meant “burgeoning”. I’m also going to assume they sent this form letter out to hundreds of other bloggers. Which is kind of hysterical. Burgeoning: To begin to grow or blossom; to flourish.

I WILL KILL EVERYBODY.

This morning I wrote a stinging, furious diatribe about the “Milk will cure your irrational PMS” campaign” (aka “Have a glass of milk, you crazy bitch“) but when I showed it to Victor he was all “Why are you so mad at milk?

If I was actually getting written “needs improvement” critiquesContinue reading “15 years on, and the romance is still alive.”

I don’t have a clever title for this but it will totally distract you

I’ve been swamped with life lately, so I’m dangerously behind on my shit-I-did-when-I-wasn’t-here-last-week wrap-up. Luckily I’m also way behind on doing things when I’m not here, so it all works out. And now, this week’s Shit-I-did-when-I-wasn’t-here: What you missed on Ill-Advised: Lesson 20: Of COURSE you can go play with those bears What you missed on Good Mom/BadContinue reading “I don’t have a clever title for this but it will totally distract you”
