I Have No Stories
I know you’re all dying to hear about what it’s like for me back in the workplace after four years. And my new company knows I have a blog, has given me permission to blog about working there and hired me because I’m a blabber mouth on the Internetz. But I just don’t have any [...]
I Went Shopping
I’m not much of a shopper. I really don’t like it. I don’t like it because clothes don’t fit me right. I’m sometimes a size 6, sometimes an 8. Sometimes I’m a large or a medium. A 28, 29, or 30. I wander into the dressing room with an armful of clothes.
I don’t like poorly [...]
Dreams and Things
Last night I slept through the night. I figured out that giving Archie a hot toddy milk really conks him out and he’ll sleep and sleep and sleep. Also he’s been sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor for the past week. He wants this and can’t wait to get into his sleeping bag. [...]
Trapped!
GET YOUR ENTERTAINMENT FOR PEOPLE TICKETS!!! DO IT.
I shouted again. But I want you to get your tickets. A lot. I want that. We like a nice, full house at our shows. And we also have the best audience in Portland. We like seeing you. So get ‘em!
One of my superpowers is getting trapped in [...]
We Ate!
For V-Day, we ate. This is how Fancyhats and I celebrate holidays — we eat Fancypants foods. And then I wake up feeling incredibly guilty and 50 pounds overweight. I would like to unprogram whatever stray wire is in my brain that makes me feel like I’ve gained 50 pounds in the middle of the [...]
Sledding
Well, we went to the snow and survived! There were no fights.
We rented inner tubes and used those as sleds. I’d never heard of this before Fancyhats told me that was what we were doing. Of course, I’d only ever seen snow twice before I was 20 years old so what do I know?
The first [...]
Cranford, or Portland?
Last night I started watching the BBC miniseries, Cranford. It’s based on three books by Elizabeth Gaskell. OMG it is so funny and lovely and wonderful. I’m really enjoying it. And the best part about Cranford is when they say Cranford, I replace Cranford with Portland. They say things like, “That is not the custom [...]
Writing, Back Fence and Fiber
First off, I’m teaching a writing woo-woo class with Bridget Pilloud on February 21st. It’s a bargain, people — $25-45 sliding scale. It’s a three-hour class and we’re going to use the elements of narrative to change your story. Believe me, I did this with job stuff and it so worked. Decription here. And if [...]
Dreams Do Come True, It Could Happen To You…
I am beat, Internet.
I couldn’t sleep last night and I think I woke up with a crying hangover.
Let me tell you what happened last night — I was there to watch two people have their dreams come true. That is the lamest phrase in the whole world, but I have no better way of describing [...]
Saffron Surprise!
Hello Internet.
I had an great weekend. I ate. A lot. I overate. I ate grilled cheese, pork belly, a costco hot dog, oatmeal, toast, veggie curry, fancy-pants Salisbury steak, hazelnut mousse, regular steak and party food. I can’t resist party food, if you must know. If it comes in a bowl and there are crackers [...]
