    Tic Toc

    I stumbled on this wiiiicked shop on Estsy - All15Designs - and I just about fell in love with this clock! I have the perfect spot for it on my livingroom wall. I'm still mulling over the $40 shipping fee though. Oooooh!!! I like this one too:

    Ombre update

    So, I have to go back again next week to get some more "stuff" put in my hair (I dunno - bleach? toner? Whatever that stuff is that makes your scalp itch and your hair get lighter). About a month and a half ago I decided that my hair was looking a little dull, so I thought that box hair dye was

    Aiiii ombre!

    I. Need. A. Change. So, I'm gunna get my hair done. Nothing drastic tho - I seriously considered chopping my long tresses, but then I thought about how long it took to grow them to half-way down my back (three years!!!), and I decided that a shaping and a little color will do for now. And, afte

    If a blog post falls in my head, does it make a sound?

    The silence in my head speaks louder than the brain gremlins feeding on muse droppings and thought decay. All those lovely ideas scribbled on Post-it-Notes and envelopes, screaming to be saved. They telepathically collect rejection slips, while waiting in the dark chamber of neglect in the lobby of

    I Hail from Quirky

    Lately, the trees fall down and don’t get up. A graveyard of twigs and leaves still cover the ground from the October nor’easter that whacked our town on its way to the North Pole, which is lovely this time of year. Polar bears slip and slide on icebergs in the frosty wilderness and take holid

    The Infinite Et Cetera, More Powerful Than the Next

    The clerk yelled, “Next!” I stepped up to the counter. “What can I get you?” he asked. I stared at the seemingly infinite choices on the shelf. “Well?” The clerk glared at me. “Uh . . .” “Hesitation is a sign of weakness. This is no place for the meek. You need fortitude to p

    TB is Back, Not the Disease, the Blog Plastic Surgeons with Un Deux Extreme Blog Makeover Contest

    That’s “dos” in Espanol or “two” in English, my native tongue. Sounds like a sci-fi thriller. “My Native Tongue” – it came from outer space and wiped out an entire planet lickety-split! Get it now on DVD! But that would distract from the point. What wa

    Have You Seen This Avatar?

    The Google Friend Connect widget, once populated with faces on my sidebar, now appears empty and clueless, a border of its former self. On March 1st, Google discontinued Google Friend Connect on all non Blogger sites. Since that day “that will live on in infamy,” I’ve tried to find

    March 15th My Father's Birthday

    My father has been gone for many years now. That fact, however, has never removed him from my life. I think of him often, sometimes several times a day. He was always loving to me. He never raised his voice or his hand to me. He will be treasured in my mind and in my heart forever.  I found this quo

    Slut Talk Radio – A Rush to Judgment

    Do some men choose a career in radio to overcompensate for their tiny heads? I can’t think of any other reason for Rush Limbaugh to verbally abuse Sandra Fluke on the radio, his voice wafting like pig farts across the airwaves. Whether you like it or not, Limbaugh is a public figure and a role [...]

    Come an’ get me, copper!

    The cop saw me before I saw him. He had a radar detector. I had astigmatism. Hypnotized by the swirl of his ruby-red lights, I pulled over to the side. He got out of his car, parked across the street, and swaggered toward me. My chance to make a getaway. Instead, I idled in confusion. [...]

    So much on the go!!

    I have the horrible habit of getting really excited about something, and then forgetting about it and moving on to the next exciting project without ever finishing the first one. Right now I have about 10 things on the go, and before I even start tackling them I’ve already moved on (I usually get as

    Giving something up

    Last Wednesday (February 22) was the first day of Lent. I’m not overly religious, but I do like to give something up every year. To be honest, I do it mostly for selfish reasons. In previous years I’ve given up coffee (in hopes it would make me less high-strung), I’ve given up chocolate (in hope

    Out of control

    My spending was out of control this month. I don’t even want to think about it! But I need to; if I just turn a blind eye to it I’ll never learn. The entire month of February I packed a lunch twice, I think. Every other day I bought my lunch at work. I spent $150 on a typewriter (but I love it!
