  • Whew...I wear myself out. Can't imagine what it must be like reading this crazy blog. No news on the kidney, other than a letter that said, "please return for more tests." Eh, okay. I'm fine with it. What could be w…

  • Allrighty...so, one thing I've learned during my self-indulgent look at my own emotions over the past several months is that emotions are not to be trusted. Yes, yes, I realize that's something I should have known alrea…

  • Such a terrible, almost incomprehensible tragedy in Asia...almost impossible to believe...cataclysmic. It seems strange, that half a globe away I could have the same problems, the same trivial complaints, that I had yes…

  • Ah...another Christmas is over and another year is coming to a close. This is my absolute favorite week of the year. I love this week because all the holidays, with the stress of preparing for them and anticipating the…

  • Here is a story that illustrates why I prefer to wait until I am in the throes of a medical crisis before seeking help from a physician.A week or two ago, on a Monday night, I was happily jogging on the treadmill, admiri…

  • This is so, so unlike me. But what the hell. The munchkins and their father are coming home today, so I only have time for something quick.1. Name the last four things you have boughtWork out clothes for my stepdad, an…

  • For those of you who are wondering, it was Dad who got the place wrong, not me. He won't admit it, though. In fairness to him, the conversation went something like this:Him: Let's meet at A.Me: I definitely want to m…

  • (tonight it's a strawberry. instead of a cockroach, it's an annoying "shoot the strawberry" display. It's quite distracting, in a red and jumpy kind of way, but I...will...not....give...in)Tonight I took a shower, put …

  • Okay, so I wrote this whole lengthy post earlier today, and then it abruptly disappeared into Xanga Neverland. As if this weren't enough, I REWROTE it, and then got interrupted and walked away and lost my internet conne…

  • I have had to walk away for a couple of days, and I've missed so many great blogs. I am going to have to sit down and go through every single blog just to catch up.In the meantime, we've been enjoying some intense famil…

  • So my thoughts are all...discombobulated...a-twitter...unfocused...today, because my fellow Xangans with all their thought-provoking comments and interesting blogs have provoked me. In a positive way, of course. Once a…

  • I fear I have lost a friend somehow, and I'm not sure why, or how.I don't make many friends; I have lots of acquaintances, and even some acquaintances that I guess I would call "friends," but would never call at home or …

  • Last night we went to the office Christmas party, my husband's office, that is. It was so similar to the party last year that I can barely distinguish the two in my mind. Same setting, same food, same bartender, same p…

  • Okay, ladies and gents, we, and by we I mean me, or more grammatically, "I," I am changing the tone around here. I can't stand it anymore. I can't stand myself anymore, I'm so sick of the whining and the moping. And I…

  • My, oh my. A girl walks away from Xanga for a couple of days and finds that everyone has gone on and on blogging, as if the world doesn't stop if she's not in it. How sobering. I have been in a miserable funk lately, …

  • The worm has turned. I love that expression, although I don't understand it. I think I might have known what it means, at one point in my life, but I can't remember now. I have a vague vision of a shovel, and a worm, …

  • oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh noam hungover AGAIN.not my fault. fault belongs to the man circulating through the restaurant refilling glasses, turning my wine glass into a bottomless glass of danger.but h…

  • One of the reasons I went to law school, aside from the fact that I was unemployed, unmarried, and without any prospects for coping in the adult world, is that I am astonishingly good at seeing both sides of an issue. T…

  • Today started last night, when I drank more than three but less than ten margaritas at the office Christmas party. I can't really recall much of the evening, which is fine with me. It's funny...before an occasion like …

  • And just to make up for yesterday, here is a partial list of things I CAN do: write appellate briefs for indigent criminal defendants; edit legal textbooks; cook gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free foods; make my own crow…

  • Caffeine...nectar of the Gods.I loathe suburbia and I embrace the tenets of Fast Food Nation, yet the Devil Starbucks has me under its thumb. I freaking LOVE Starbucks. I love that I can get a nice, cheerful cup of moc…

  • You know how it feels when your power steering goes out and all of a sudden you have to muscle your car around every single turn by cranking that steering wheel around with nothing but the power in your own puny arms?Th…

  • Ouch, Xangans...I had a bad, bad day today. It's been winding up on me for a few days now...so many things...so many reasons...it has been a crazy, emotional month and, being a control freak, I don't particularly care f…

  • What do you know...I was completely wrong about where they were going with the overwhelmed Mom character on Desperate Housewives. Glad to see it. When the world is so easily predictable, it gets boring. I expected the…
