Like today. I went out to my car at lunch time, and put my purse and book on the passenger seat while I sat on the side of the driver’s seat. I happened to glance up at the windshield. It didn’t look right. There was a strange, black, tombstone-shaped sticker thing in the upper middle […]

My life has been lived in a raging hurry the last few weeks. Catching up at work from a vacation. Running to various doctor appointments. Getting kids ready for, and off to, summer camp. Fighting with the ex. Yard sales. Curriculum fairs. And a multitude of other activities. And it hasn’t ended yet. But that’s […]

Back in December, I wrote about my talent of getting injured in the most ridiculous ways — while engaged in perfectly innocuous, normally safe activities. Well, the stupid talent has struck again: I fell last night and hurt my left hand badly. I had come home from eating dinner at Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana, and […]

I am weird. Everyone who knows me, even on a slight basis, knows this. But my weirdness isn’t just that I dress funny and use words no one else ever heard of, and both read and proofread everything I see. My best talent is getting hurt. Only I never get hurt normally. You know, most […]

… and their owners. At least the irresponsible and inconsiderate ones. I’ve had a long day at the office with a lot of frustration and insanity. I was at work from 0800 to 1630 (with no lunch, but that’s another story), and then from 1900 to 2315. I’m tired. It’s cold. It’s dark. I’m finally […]

I was really skeptical about Leno leaving the late night lineup, and my fears have been justified. Granted, I’m not even supposed to be up for late night television … I’m supposed to be in bed by 22:00. But I’m a single mother of two … do you really think that I’m gonna be in […]

I was eating dinner with the kids at a certain local chain restaurant tonight. As the waiter was clearing the dishes, a knife fell off of a plate, and bounced off of my water glass onto the floor. He apologized. I said it was okay. And we both assumed that was the end of it. […]

You just gotta love this story. I’d love to hug this kid, and deposit money in his college fund for every speeder he’s caught. (‘cept I’m broke.) You have to wonder why the real cops aren’t taking advantage of this. Heck, let the kid give them traffic citations—he’d probably get a huge kick out of […]

I don’t know what it is about Opening Night of a play that brings out the weird in my family. My church’s annual musical revue, a fundraiser for the organ fund, opened tonight. So last night was dress rehearsal. I had planned to take the kids, since this weekend is a visitation one, but then […]
