Status
I took an Allegra this morning and now I’m all spaced out and mellow and I just don’t care.
I ate beef jerky yesterday and now one of my molars is bruised.
I hate it when coworkers come to work sick and force me to hear their phlegm all day.
I’m going […] Continue Reading…
A Scary Thing
I called Julio about a work-related system. While I was pointing out the inefficiency of a certain aspect of said system (read: the secretary who wanted to use Liquid Paper in place of technology), he said, “You don’t want to come over here right now. There’s a […] Continue Reading…
A Chance to Make Yourself Useful
A very good friend of mine asked me to ask you all for advice. She writes:
HAWC is trying to name our Halloween Party. The committee wants a fun and creative name and maybe some alliteration. Boo Bash and Fright Fest are already taken. I […] Continue Reading…
Remember, I Used to Live in a Trailer
I’m excited about the fact that you can now order my book from Wal-Mart. Is that so wrong?

The Dreams of a Fat Girl
Four years ago, I wore size 26. Today I wear size 16.
(Not my butt, though. My butt wears size 18. It keeps trying to fit in the size 16s with the rest of me, but I tell it no. “That’s too tight for you,” […] Continue Reading…
Labor Day Weekend Recap
Friday – Our Table in the High School Cafeteria
Friday night a bunch of us went to Liqor Lounge (or however they spell it) and Belmar, then ended up at an all-night taqueria we don’t normally frequent.
We took a table for nine in the middle of the […] Continue Reading…
Jesus and the Bunnies
Today my son asked me why the sun was getting lower each morning as we got on the freeway. (We get on at the same time every day – five minutes late.)
In return, he was treated to a long story that started with the tilt of […] Continue Reading…
Focus
I constantly distract myself from the worries at hand.
When I’m supposed to be writing, I clean my apartment, instead.
When my apartment desperately needs cleaning, I work on my budget.
When my finances look bad, I fret about my love life.
When my love life falls apart, I write.
Every day I work […] Continue Reading…
Hero
We saw Hero last night, and it ruled. You should go see it now.
I’d seen the trailer, which made it sound like it was The Jet Li Show. I’d heard people mistakenly inform me that Quentin Tarantino directed it. Besides that, I knew nothing.
I had no idea until last […] Continue Reading…
