Who Am I?

So, this Christmas I went home and spent a few weeks with my awesome family. During that time, I went along to help my sister-in-law set up her brand new kindergarten classroom. My 11 year-old sister Bailey and I were put in charge of organizing the books. Bailey was in charge of fiction. She organized [...]

Muscle-Powered

Recently, certain events involving dragon-breathed, unstable landowners and the wonderful old property that I was renting at the time necessitated a move. When we couldn’t find anything in downtown or midtown, we happened upon a place in a little post-WWII cottage neighborhood in an area not all that far from the University where I work. [...]

Things that are True, Proving

See, me? One can post without writing a book. … Others? Oh, hello. I moved. I will tell you a story about it…once I have proven that posts need not be interminable epistles or enumerations. I am doing it. Now.

List of things that happen

It appears that the only way to motivate myself to write in this bedeviled thing is to make rather large, silly lists. Since I haven’t been in a terribly silly mood this spring, it has indefinitely fallen by the wayside, but THINGS have happened, many THINGS. As a result, you, gentle reader, are entitled to [...]

I don’t believe in ghosts.

Except for when, of course, I do believe. Or did, anyway. It’s been a long time since I hid my head beneath the sheets, terrified to peek out and behold the grim horror that surely awaited me. I could probably have been awarded a medal for my performances in the little girls’ long jump from [...]

Scary Labels and the Girl Next Door

I say Ma’am and Sir to my elders. I grew up in a town of fewer than 10,000 where everyone knows me and who my parents are. I smile at people I don’t know on the streets. I’m pretty sure that most of the people I meet in my current Deep South haunt think I’m [...]

List of things about which I would currently like to know more

I promised I would write more, but I haven’t had any daring adventures or fascinating discoveries lately, so you all (all 3 of you?) get another list.   Psychic Psephalods Ok, so I don’t believe in psychic phenomena, but I do believe in fiercely intelligent/awesome invertebrates who occasionally eat bivalves out of transparent boxes which [...]

List of things to which I am currently looking forward

When one fails to post on a modest little blog like mine, the need to make the next post that one would post be a uber-fantastical post blossoms and grows and consumes until it is nigh impossible to post any post at all. After considering for weeks now what knowledge I could possibly share that [...]

Moving

When I wrote my first post of the year, I felt the need for some change in my life, and so I’ve chased it down. I’ve moved…this blog. My hosting with GoDaddy was expiring, and I was seriously sick of their gross, sexist commercials, so I moved all my junk on the net over to [...]

New Decade

Now I’ll have to make a new playlist in iTunes. I’ve not been a huge fan of my life in the past year, so I’m trying to do more things about which to be excited or proud. Mobile is a challenge because there aren’t many ways to meet people and there aren’t many things to [...]
