Recovering Californian

Actualizing narrative since 2009, or 1975 depending on how you look at it.

Pie Off

A quick post about the pie off. I did not win. So sad. However there were 49 pies entered and my apple pie got one of the three judges’ votes and that made me very happy. I tried my apple pie, which is not actually my apple pie but a recipe by V (who has [...]

Oh, It Is On

On our walk last night, Steve said, “You seem distracted.” And I said, “Well, I’m THINKING ABOUT PIE, NOW BACK OFF.”
I had pie dreams last night. Dreams about fruit splatter and burnt crusts. The Pie Off is on my mind, people.
I know mediaChick is making pie after pie.
Betsy Richter just bought vodka for her pie, [...]

Things That Make Me Way Less Than Awesome

1) Okay, I didn’t post the new Back Fence PDX story. Right? Stupid scheduling posts and whatever. It’s there now and just as good as I said it was yesterday.
2) The other day I made banana bread for my neighbors (they just had a baby) and as I was making it, I wondered why the [...]

Back Fence PDX Day!

I’m so excited for Back Fence PDX day. Today’s story is by Rich from Overheard in PDX. It’s a great blog and people in Portland submit things they’ve overheard in the city. I might or might not have submitted to this blog in the past.
So, according to Rich, he didn’t catch the true part, but [...]

I Broke Facebook

Because I deleted myself from Goodreads and I don’t know that 90% of my high school is on Ravelry and is dying to know about my unadulterated success post-1993, I thought I’d join Facebook. Because, you know, I can do a mean kegstand and…wait…Facebook is not the domain of my freshman English comp students any [...]

Pray to the Heavens

We Californians are not religious folks. A proper Californian doesn’t go to church. For example, I’ve never been to church for anything but a wedding or a funeral. I didn’t know my family was actually Catholic until I was 25 and at my great-grandmother’s funeral and everyone was standing and sitting and shaking hands and [...]

A few things on my mind

1) Thank you so much to mediaChick and Rachael. My nummies are not faque. They are very real and the result of having a lovely rack pre-baby and then nursing a kid for 20 months, not my kid, of course. We fed Arch a steady diet of soda and crack. I just nursed some other [...]

Dear Internets,

I am not going to look at you on Friday. This means no email or blogging or twittering. So say what you want about me. Remember people, the internets, as temporal as they seem, are also permanent.
If you need me, you may reach me by telephone. If you do not have my phone number, you [...]

Giving The People What They Want

Because my blogging fingers are sore, I wanted to address my three readers’ suggestions in video format.
But first, I have been given a shout out on a very cool sex toy website. They also make real lezzie pron. I watched the free bit of some of the videos and wow. Those are real lezzies going [...]

Portland in the Hiz – ows

I just wanted to say that.
Two videos are up on the Back Fence PDX website. They are very cool, so if you weren’t there, or if you were there and want to relive the glory then click on over.
I’m a little tapped for material today. Leave blogging suggestions in the comments and I’ll blog them [...]
