Queen of Rambles

I can only post so many entries on sleep before I start to lose my audience. Actually, I think I lost most of my audience when I moved back to the US and lost that whole “stranger in a strange land with a stranger friend” aspect of my life. Now it’s just work, the evil [...]

When I was younger I used to have insomnia. I would lay awake for hour upon hour, contemplating all the things I should do, might do, shouldn’t do, shouldn’t have done, should have said, might do and would never do. I’d toss and turn. I’d beat my fist into my pillow. By 3 in the [...]

What’s the point of loving a Friday when you still have to go to work on Saturday? But it’s Friday and it’s magical. I had an excellent day today and have a new career to consider–traveling puppet show lady. I went with the first grade classes to a wonderful little Aesop’s Fables puppet show and [...]

I’m so excited! Since my grandma is going to be gone April 22-26, she’s offered to lend us her car for those days. At first I said “no way, jose” because I don’t want to be accused of breaking her axle, her door and her muffler all in one go like the last time I [...]

I have warts. Three of them. Disgusting things that they are, I’ve tried to ignore them. I rip the one on my finger off at every opportunity, but the two on my feet have been left alone. I don’t want my feet to be sore and ripped up. But now the inevitable has happened. One [...]

One of the teachers at work is pregnant and today was her baby shower. I received an invitation and was rather relishing the idea of a stunning cut down when someone dared ask if I was planning on attending. I waited and waited to tell them I dirt doesn’t go to parties or I don’t [...]

I just informed Mike that I was not going to write a diary entry b/c it was well past my bed time. He looked at me in utter confusion and pointed to the clock. I guess it wouldn’t do to go to bed at 8:45 pm. You know what’s weird? Things with my grandma are [...]

I have a long agenda today, so let’s see if I can remember it all. First, if you’re a writer, please note your stories revolving around the theme “Heroes and Role Models” are being accepted at editor@mosaicminds.net until April 30. Or better yet, check out the submission guidelines and e-mail the appropriate person. We love [...]

I’m watching Spike TV and quilting. Does anyone else see the irony here? Actually, I was quilting. I have stopped for tonight because I am about to take my bobbin and throw it into a worm hole. I don’t know what I did to mess it up, but mess it up I did. Or maybe [...]

There’s going to be a fight at school tomorrow and I’m going to be the instigator. I’m sure I could kick a little annoying-lazy ass. I’m big. I’m strong. My legs are well developed. I am just so incredibly sick of this one lady at work. I believe I named her Rachel before, after a [...]
