Queen of Rambles

I’ve had a couple of people ask me for this, so I’ll go ahead and post it. Be warned, it is not really proper risotto at all and I don’t really know exact measurements.
Finely chop half an onion
mince a couple of cloves of garlic
finely chop a red or yellow bell pepper
grate up a carrot if [...]

I hate womanhood when it feels like some creature made of crushed glass is going to claw through my uterus at any second. No wonder I’ve been such a grouch the last two days. I’m also not impressed with my newest symptom. Once again I’ve been hit with the dizzies. At least I [...]

If I could eat risotto every day of the week, I would. Actually, I have. Lately it’s all I want to fix for dinner so that’s what I make. Poor Mike is going to get sick of it pretty darned quick, but that’s why I bake him bread. He can have a [...]

I had a ton of stuff to get done today but most of it is still waiting for my attention. It was another one of those marathon Annica phone counseling days and I’m ready to pull my hair out. Or maybe hers. I finally stopped answering my phone this afternoon just so I [...]

I hardly got any sleep last night. I kept dreaming that my dad died and we had to clean out his house. The odd thing is, I’ve dreamed this several times in the past week and it’s always disturbing. I was talking to my mom this weekend and she was talking to the nurse [...]

Jane is an amazing woman. She just left a comment on my journal that shifted my whole perspective about the Annica thing. Now that I’ve been offered a reasonable explanation for some of her behavior I can tolerate it.
Thank you Jane for being so wise. I have admired you since I started [...]

My poor little brain is completely drained of power. Annica has had me hostage on the phone for hours and I’m sick of it. I refuse to talk to her anymore. Mike has express orders to say I’m in the tub if she calls again.
Warning, long Annica rant ahead. . .

Today is the big deadline for Mosaic Minds articles, so I decided I couldn’t write a post until I finished one of my articles. I can’t believe I waited to the last minute like this! At least now I have one turned in, one that could be turned in but that needs some [...]

Can you believe that after all that whining and misery I had a great time at the party? It’s amazing what perfect eyebrows and “to hell with them” attitude can do for you.
I want to go to bed so I won’t say much now, but tomorrow you’ll get to hear all about the [...]

It’s once again that time of year. The time to sing songs. The time to watch people you don’t know get super drunk. The time to eat raw fish. The time to blow your brains out.
Yes, it’s time for the company Christmas party.
I hate these things. I hate hate hate hate [...]
