This project took me forever to get started. The fact that I don’t draw threw a little hitch in my plans. I have so many designs in my head that I can never get out. One of these days I really gotta learn how to pick up a pencil. I went out and picked up […]

My love for my dear friend Schelle is well recorded. She is a great friend, one of the best I’ve ever and probably will ever know, and one of the things that makes her so valuable is her ability to tell you the stuff that hurts to hear. She is a wise and learned counselor. […]

I live literally five minutes away from Camp Pendleton, the huge Marine base here in North San Diego county, which you could totally figure out if you spent the day in my apartment complex. The parking lot alone could tell you a lot about the breed, since every other car is some massive pickup truck. […]

I can’t remember the last time I posted a picture of my babies, maybe never, so here you go. Jem is the gray one, and Cheetara is the brown one. I’m so beyond obsessed with them. Neither one of them is spayed, and we have plans on breeding them – if anyone knows of an […]

I didn’t get the gorgeous red Addison Shepard hair I had my heart set on. I got to the hairdresser and she realized that she didn’t have enough dye. She had only bought one tiny little bottle (because here in SoCal nobody goes red, they go blond) and hadn’t even thought to ask how long […]

I went to the grocery store yesterday after my mani/pedi to pick up batteries and some moleskin for the shoes that always, always give me blisters. I got up to the cashier who was a young guy, maybe 24 or so, with a faux-haux and a smirk he kept plastered to his face because it […]

March 27, 2007
Up until a few weeks ago, I have never in my married life gone grocery shopping by myself. Whenever I say that to someone their eyes immediately try to escape their face. Believe me, I am well aware of how spoiled I am. And I revel in it. Until Polly came along, we were a […]

I feel like I have a hangover. Not that I would really know what that feels like. And not that I was doing anything that would bring on a hangover the old fashioned way. I just feel run over and headachey and residually drugged. We’d been meaning to go back to Modesto for weeks now. […]

I’ve been thinking about this new endeavor, and wondering how long I could sustain it, and also the ethical implications of it, so I’ve created a few rules for myself. 1) I won’t post something made by the artist. If someone is hand making artwork, I think it would be totally scummy of me to […]

With Bear out of town I’ve been trying to take advantage of the time as best I can by doing all the things I love to do that he doesn’t. I love to go thrift store shopping, but Bear hates it beyond all reason, so I’ve been checking out little resale shops and boutiques all […]
