there was a complete and total melt down during this week’s episode of dawson’s creek. sure it was sad with dawson’s pop dying and all, but really there was no excuse for my reaction. i sobbed. gut wrenching, can’t breathe, snot running down my face, sobbing.
you know, i’ve been feeling stressed this week. i’ve got [...]

in the mist
i hate when i wake up and my dreams from the previous night are just out of reach. it’s like some level of my brain remembers them, but i can’t quite seem to grasp the situation. these are the days i walked around looking befuddled.

my muse is lack of sleep
i dunno what my story is, but apparently teetering on the edge of exhaustion makes me want to write and write. i can’t explain it. maybe it’s because my internal censor isn’t quite up to par and i just go on and on without worrying about what an idiot i’ll sound like. or maybe because [...]

oh, give me a break

yeah, i ain’t buying it
so i’m reading Stick Figure: A Diary of My Former Self and i am totally not buying it. see, it’s supposed to be taken from diaries that ms. gottlieb wrote when she was 11 and really, c’mon. i don’t doubt that she was a smart 11 year old or that she had an eating disorder [...]

warm and safe, content even
i’ve just stumbled home from another exciting evening at the bowling alley. i got a lot of reading done and that was nice. in fact, today has been a wholly productive day. quite shocking for a monday. that’s two good mondays in a row. perhaps all my being nice karma is being visted upon me.

Ha! my nice thing for the week is already done. i [...]

what time is it?
daylight savings time always screws with me. this year was worse than others. when i woke up this morning, the clock said 10 o’clock. so much for that extra hour.
i was amazed because i had cashed in around midnight. i didn’t think i’d sleep that long. but i shrugged it off, because it’s sunday and [...]

you make bathtime lots of fun
yeah, so i got the coolest rubberducky today. it’s a gray duck. because we minnesotans play duck, duck gray duck. i think i am in love with this toy. the website is pretty cute too. i love the little bio that came with this duck what’s with this “duck, duck goose”? Another reason for feeling [...]

yeah, so i am tired
exhausted is me.
there was bowling with my co-workers (i bowled a 120 and 103), pin-scratching (it involved sandpaper and new bowling pins), birthday presents (my adorable max is 3 today), friends (the show, not the humans), gossip (icky mindy is pregnant, can you believe it?), and well what more can you ask for from a [...]
