so thanks to my beloved brother-in-law ruby is the proud new owner of a 12-disc CD player. we still need to get her a fancy faceplate, to cover the hole left by the extraction of the AM/FM cassette player, but for now we are rocking. we left sister #3’s and tony’s place (which is just [...]

ruby and i are off to go get pimped. i hope this goes as smoothly as planned. ruby really does need a CD player, more than anything else. now i am off to go choose what the very first CD ruby will ever listen to will be.

the tradition started last year continued when the warthogs squared off against the fairies with mamala serving as all-time pitcher. the game was going swell, until tony had to save a duck from the mean dog next door. the duck hovered around first base for awhile, then tony moved it behind the garage. that was [...]

i had to put on pants and i’m none too thrilled about it. one should not be required to wear pants on a sunday. i think it needs a constitutional amendment. i’m soon off to sister #2’s for the memorial day hooha. i had to make potato salad. that’s a lot of fucking work. of [...]

the wolves won tonight, in what those who write cheesedog sports stories would call a barn burner.
speaking of the worlves, i stunned a friend thursday night. it was sort of nice. just when i think that i have no more tricks up my sleeve, no more new things, one comes up that i forgot [...]

once upon a time there was a lonely girl who bought a fabulous blue couch. the couch was the only swanky furniture in the humble abode of the lonely girl, making it the loneliest fabulous blue couch in the world. so, one day the lonely girl went out and bought the fabulous blue couch a [...]

when i look down i see a small, faint bruise the size of a fingertip on my right breast. i smile when i see it, a visible reminder of a excited fumbling hands on skin that was more delicate than either of us thought. it never hurt. now, i want to kiss it, to touch [...]

last night i got home from setting up sister #4’s new computer and called the TTHM. i wanted to curl up into his warm voice and cry about my troubles. i wanted him to anchor me back to earth. it didn’t happen so much. i couldn’t do it. my mind was reeling with the words [...]

stop by and tell the NBFB happy birthday, this way you can in some practice before my birthday in NINE DAYS.

there should be a point after so much not sleeping that your brain just shuts off, your body chooses Start > Turn off, and you just fall into the deep, deep restless sleep of the zombified, or something. i think i got about two hours of sleep last night, if i was lucky. i did [...]

i am much too bewildered to have such cute hair. sadly, it’s wasted.

1. i’m ok. things are swell. coolness everywhere. no worries
2. never underestimate the rejuvinating power of a 20 minute nap at 7:45 a.m.
3. smelly and FFJ could make me weep with the power of female friendship
4. i still could use a nap and a hug
5.
6. i am extraordinary
7. haircut 2:10, cuter than ever i’ll bet

getting caught up in a fantasy world of your own making is a job hazard for writers. i am sure that people who are old hand at this writing game do a very good job of seperating the world of their own creation from the world that they actually have to live in.
me, i’m [...]

ok, so someone just called and said they were sending me something for my birthday (which is in a mere TEN DAYS AWAY). only they had a fake accent and i was blushing so furiously i didn’t know what to make of it. they said some shady individuals wanted to send me something for my [...]

remember that episode of the brady bunch where cindy ran around chanting “i’ve got a secret, i’ve got a secret?” that’s sort of how i am today. i’ve got a secret smile and i can’t seem to wipe the smug grin off my face. i’m distracted and don’t feel like paying attention to the people [...]
