since i finished Maile Meloy’s Half in Love, had eaten nothing but toast and peanut butter for two days, and played enough Bejeweled 2 to leave me in a coma, the time had come. i had to either a.) clean my apartment, b.) start my short story that’s due in 26 hours, or c.) go [...]

since driving into the city every night wrecks havoc on ruby’s gas tank, we got to see walter the gas station poet on sunday.
“hey girlfriend,” he said when i walked in to pay for my gas. “how are you?”
“good,” i said. it was still a little early for me, considering i hadn’t gone to bed [...]

i’m sort of clumsy. ok, i’m really quite clumsy. i’ve bumped my head more times than i can remember, and even nearly killed myself tripping over thin air. my dad always says it’s because i have no common sense. i never quite understood where the common sense came into play, but apparently in his mind [...]

i lost nine pounds and my pants don’t fit. but not in the way they should not fit if you lose nine pounds, rather these pants that i am wearing are entirely too short for words. i don’t want to get up from my desk, because then people will see just how very short these [...]

shopping for new jeans slides right in between shoe shopping and grocery shopping as my second most unfavorite kind of shopping to do on the face of the earth.
it’s during jeans shopping when my extraordinary genes and overweightedness come and smack me right in the face. a double-whammy that has often left me curled [...]

i only have to come to work nine more days until vacation. do you have any idea whatsoever how happy this makes me?
in other news, i have discovered that it really pisses me off to no end when someone online questions my gender, even in a joking manner. i have a really hard time reconciling [...]

i was just bemoaning my lack of anything to do on thursday nights to my former-classmate/current co-worker pat, when he asked me if i wanted to coach basketball.
my reaction was immediate and vehement. NO. NONONONONONo. never. i mostly hate basketball, and my participation in it with a passion i reserve for worms and well, worms. [...]

while i’m gone, one of you darling ones go here and look at message 665 and figure out what they’re saying about me, ok?

i dunno what my problem is, but i’m kinda still bitter about the hoo-ha last night. it was good. mom was surprised, there was a good turnout, but a few bad things spoiled the whole event.
first there was the uninvited, unknown drunks who stumbled into our gathering from the bar while i was in [...]

i put on the pants that i had planned to wear to the hoo-ha a little bit ago. i was a little worried since they are a size smaller than the jeans that i usually wear. i was pleased as punch when i could button and zip without holding my breath or sucking in a [...]

I don’t know how to date. There are lots of things I do know how to do. I can make chicken dumpling soup from scratch, chili too — before I gave up red meat I could make a beef stew that could bring a man to his knees. I can write stories, I can crochet, [...]

i can’t remember what shawn and i were arguing about. . . something. we tend to argue a lot, it’s fun. we enjoy it. anyway the conversation went something like this:
“you got big feet,” he said pointing down at my size 12s.
“gee, thanks,” i said swatting at him.
“i have small feet,” he said.
“my feet aren’t [...]

KISS Living is exactly the site for me. it’s going to become my new bible. you all know how much i abhor cleaning. if you could see the inside of my apartment, you’d know i was telling you the truth. and anyone willing to make cleaning seem like an easy, fun little adventure– deserves to [...]
