  • These are the Mongoose (Tony) Montana 26" Men's and Women's All-Terrain Bicycles. We want them. We have not yet bought them because none of the nearby stores have them. We're going to call Dick's Sporting Goods back …

  • Shorts

    I had lots of dreams last night, but none of them were good. None of them were nightmares, and all of them happened in new and somewhat interesting places, but they all left me feeling unsatisfied or irritated.Today I'm…

  • T.G.I.F.

    Work today was okay. Students are slow in getting their work in, and the halls were quiet because they're all in reading/study (drinking) days. The School of Business had our last faculty/staff meeting of the school ye…

  • Grammar E01

    Yes, E - for Emily (that's me). I don't know what kind of grammar and spelling students are learning these days, but it sure isn't the stuff I so easily absorbed when I was younger. (I know that easy absorption makes m…

  • Odds and Ends

    "This spot is reserved.Please don't park here." This is the message that was left on my windshield this morning. A couple of evenings ago, I arrived home to find that somebody was in my reserved carport spot. It costs…

  • So, there's no new bike today. But we did make plans for Saturday to obtain bike after my Artist's Way meeting. Instead of shopping, we stayed home and I did some more laundry and he did some more dishes. I nuked some …

  • *massive sigh*

    I'll never learn, will I? I just spent a good 45 minutes putting together a blog that was way too long and detailed, only to hit too many buttons and have it all disappear. I *know* I need to write it in a word process…

  • Little Ditty

    C'mon now, boy, you know what that passion does to me.Or maybe you don't - pay attention! Can't you see?Your love and lust for life help me set *me* freewhile you're sharing your life story 'n' doin' it for thee (He?). …

  • I didn't know what to write today, and then I remembered my calligraphy pen. I always like it when people do this sort of thing. You handwriting experts out there, have fun. I did forget to mention in my little stor…

  • I decided on a day of Xanga silence yesterday. As I walked up to my office from the parking lot, free (with purchase of overpriced gas) cappuccino in tow, I thought of a couple of witty and mundane things to write about…

  • Virginia Tech Shooting

    33 are dead and dozens of others wounded in a Virginia Tech shooting. Check your favorite newsfeed for details.And pray.

  • Synchronicity and Dreams

    My husband said pretty randomly the other day how he wants to have a movie marathon with some friends of ours who are currently working for AmeriCorps and living in Washington (state). I told him they're likely coming h…

  • Netflix

    Several weeks (or months) ago, I solicited you all for your favorite movies. We just signed up for Netflix and I'd like to resolicit your ideas as I go back through my old posts to pick up clues and fun stuff. Goofy Au…

  • Kaylee escaped the knife... today.

    "Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man that he didn't, didn't already have."Waking up at 5:30 a.m. is never easy. It's much less easy on a Saturday morning, especially when the forecast calls for cold and gloom and t…

  • I've been thinking about relationships....

    "It is done." I turned in my personal statement. Thanks to everyone for your input and continued encouragement. I'm not worried about it anymore and I'm eager to eventually get word one way or another about starting s…

  • My *expletive deleted* personal statement, round *insert high number here*

    I think I'm finally getting there. Jeri recommended I use more of my own voice, and I hope I did that with a few anecdotes. If not, I like to err a little on the side of formality for such things. I've read and reread…

  • Kaylee wishes you a Happy Easter! She's perched on my lap, looking up and me and wondering why my hands are on that silly clicky contraption instead of rubbing her face. So she rubs her head against my chin and tries t…

  • warning: written Friday morning a bit after midnightIt's so rare that I want something for myself. I want *you* to want it with me. Concord grapes, for example, taste so much better when you can look your best friend i…

  • Photographs and Memories

    I've no reason to want to be that One for you, for whom you breathe the hallelujah. It's been a long stream of time and a river of lovers in our wake - on both banks. A forest of memories overgrown, parched of real nou…

  • The end of this video is the cutest part! For women only: what do you think of this? Happy Thursday! Maundy Thursday, true, so maybe I should be more somber and contemplative. I've done nothing for Pesach this year…

  • The Sacred and the Profane

    I've been noticing more mood swings in myself of late. It could be hormonal or seasonal or otherwise-cyclical, or it could be caffeine-related. My creativity ebbs and flows, as does my happiness. And there's not alway…

  • In the last 24 hours, the temperature has dropped about 40 degrees. A coworker is getting a sinus infection, and last night my best friend and her boy had adorable matching knee-aches. Two nights ago, I had a couple of…

  • Oops! I did it again.

    Fourth blog today! (Kind of like 'fourth meal' at Taco Bell?) I could go back and put all of these in one post, but they're separate segments of thought. Thanks, both of you, for catching my misspelling of "kudzu." B…

  • Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been forever and a day since my last confession. Jesus Christ, I know it's cliché to start my story with something as charged as the purgatory throes of organized religion,…

  • The first year I met you, your birthday was on Sweetest Day. That was a long time ago. I remember the day you moved in. I peeked out between the slats in the blinds to see what the moving van was bringing us this time…

  • Please hope that I am reminded when I go home to turn on my other computer and transfer my files. There's a fun poem I wrote a couple of years ago that I really want to use to jump-start my next Internet Island post. T…

  • common bits

    I've been slacking some on The Artist's Way, but I do love meeting with my ladies every two weeks. We talk about things that are important to us, and several that are trivial and banal. Two night this weekend I hung ou…
