Tomorrow my mom is having a second radical mastectomy. I wonder if the doctors ever considered that it might have been wise to do a double-radical in the first place, rather than having my mom do this twice? Just a thought.
Lots of weird stuff is going on right now, and I absolutely cannot talk about [...]

Wrongness
Posted in Various and Sundry on February 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Have you ever gotten news before that left you completely torn about how to react? News that is wonderful for a dear friend but still makes you feel absolutely, selfishly dejected and sad? True story — that actually happened to me yesterday! I’ve been sworn to secrecy so I can’t even cry on anyone’s shoulder about it [...]
A Question
Posted in Various and Sundry on February 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today at E’s gorgeous site - http://embers.typepad.com/e/ - is posted a very provocative question. “What would you do if you knew you could not fail?”
For me, the answer to that is simple, or pretty simple with lots of caveats. Leave my job, sell nearly everything in town and move out to the country house to run my farm. Ah! I [...]
Today’s News…

I’m down another pound, with 5 left to go by March-something-or-other — Amy, I’m succeeding at your challenge! Wahoo! I think I’m going to blame the kombucha though… My daughters and I are joining Snap Fitness, because any place you can workout AND tan your hiney must be a purdy terrific place to be.
And in [...]
Not a Lookin’ Good Kind of Day
Posted in Various and Sundry on February 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Have you ever got up in the morning and just known that even if you had the entire cast of “What Not To Wear” and your own team of stylists, today is not going to be a “lookin’ good” kind of day for you?
That’s where I’m at. No amount of makeup, hairspray and designer outfits [...]
A Rant About Digging Up Mummies
Posted in Various and Sundry on February 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Does anybody out there (besides me) have any issue with archeologists digging up mummies? I mean, what makes them any different than any other grave robber, other than their PhD?
See, I don’t believe that I am my body and when I leave it, I probably don’t really care so much what happens to this shell [...]

Buck the System

I’m trying hard today not to allow myself to fall into a negativity spiral. And that isn’t easy to do when friends insist upon being grouchy and grumbly and altogether unsupportive of my falsely-chipper mood.
Hello? I have problems too, people. I just know that if I can hang on for another day, things always sort themselves [...]
Looking a Bit Rough, Actually
Posted in Various and Sundry on February 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I wonder what sort of karma I generated in my previous lives that has made it so impossible for me to get any sleep in this one? Yesterday, after all the fun and games with the police, I had a bad case of busy-brain and couldn’t nod off to save my soul from damnation.
I am going [...]
Would You Change Anything?
Posted in Various and Sundry on February 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I read something today that basically asked, “If you could start all over from scratch, would you live your life exactly the same way you have?”
Now, who says “No” to that, besides habitual liars and the criminally insane?
Today, I have looked at my life and I would change nearly EVERYTHING at this point. I have made so [...]
