If Loren was an animal he would likely be a large, high energy black or yellow lab. His big tail would thwap things over, similar to his currently large feet, and he would jump around making a general mess of just about anything in his path. It is a sort of annoying state of existence [...]

There are few times when I feel so noble as to strut my stuff and hold my head high. But tonight? Oh yeah, baby. Tonight I am sexy. Sexy in only the way that somebody of true cat like sexiness can be. Sexy like Fat Bastard of the Austin Powers movies. Sexy like that deep [...]

I’m not really a clutz by nature. A dumb ass? Yes, sometimes. A bitch? Sure, every damn day. But clumsy? No. Just not my thing. It must be the pressures of the new job, but lately I am everywhere. Literally. It began about a week and a half ago when I was on the phone [...]

I have a job. A job. I accepted it back in early June and conveniently forgot that it would start this week. And after this? I have to work for the next nine months. Oh, the torture. It leaves me no time for all the really important stuff. Like posting.

The arrival of Devon in our lives changed everything. Everything. There is not a single area in our existences that is the same since he joined our odd family nearly four years ago. It goes deeper than the third child thing; beyond the fact that once he arrived there was open heart surgery, spousal tumult, [...]

The last few nights I have been staying up late in an effort to get in the entire first season of Big Love before it is due back, I am on a Heather, Be Good kick and I don’t want to get any more bad karma with the library system. As I sit and watch [...]

I’m a bit of a shady character. Not in a baby pinching, puppy abuser sort of way, but I am flaky, unreliable and not apt to move my ass unless absolutely necessary. Some might say there is beauty in knowing one’s self, others might say it is entirely pitiful to understand this part of myself [...]
