upon being asked if everything is ok:
i am fine, but not ok.
i am sick of winter and sick of being here and sick of being lonely and bored, i am angry at being such a big baby. i hate not fitting in with the new crew at work yet. i am impatient and my impatience [...]

“with your chrome heart shining in the sun, long may you run.”
neil young songs always make my heart ache a little bit.

today, i just want to get lost.

there is a payoff for listening to dubya’s smug, frowny face. . . tim russert. mmm, mmm good.

why oh why do most of the women in congress have such bad hair?

ok darling ones, time for you to settle a score. specifically the females who read this. me and bunnynose are having an argument. i say scads of chickies find men with orange hair attractive. he says no chickies find men with orange hair attractive. what do you say?

baby jake is absolutely adorable. i love spending my afternoon smooching orangey-haired boys. i want a baby of my own. driving home from the hospital we laughed until we cried. talking about the children we might have and what they’ll be named and what they’ll be like. here are some highlights:

my cell phone rang at 7:08 a.m. my heart started racing and my hands were shaking as i scooped it up. yes! finally, word from kari!

blargh! kari called at 11 and there is no news from her. i guess this isn’t really the time to be calling her and asking what’s up. i am SO impatient. and you know what else i’ve learned today. . . i don’t know how to order flowers. never had to do that before.

i am nowhere near being a copy editor or a grammar nazi or anything like that. but here i am, trolling the net for articles explaining when to use a jpeg and when to use a gif. i come upon an article with more than 5 errors in the first paragraph. aak! it’s driving me [...]
