Queen of Rambles

I’ve become obsessed, I tell you. After a rather not-so-warm reaction to Anne of Windy Poplars, I breezed through Anne’s House of Dreams this afternoon and loved even more than I did as a child, even though I was bawling like a baby in a couple of spots. Of course, it helped that […]

We all know my prowess as a lay doctor (according to my mother) but even google seems to be failing me now. I have been froggy all day, which left me with very little patience for the first graders.
When I got in my car I opened wide and looked in the rear view […]

And it’s not the sickness of my throat, though I am still rather froggy and phlegmy. Nope. I’m sick to my stomach because I just sent in a writing submission. I’ve not done that for many, many years and I am terrified that I’ll be rejected. I shouldn’t be rejected. The […]

I had high hopes of taking a picture of every quilt I make. That’s not really too much of a dream. It’s not like I have to go out and hire a photographer to take a daguerreotype. For the past month I’ve been thinking that I need to take a picture […]

[Written last night, but the site was down. I LOVE my host. I e-mailed them and had a reply within five minutes. A disk was bad and they had to do some technical work.]

–This is […]

Whadaya know! I felt just fine and dandy today except for some deep, hacking coughs. My throat was a little tender, but not sore exactly, and I definitely felt well enough to work. I think I would have been just fine and dandy if I spent the day watching DeGrassi High or […]

Why must I feel responsible for the whole world? Why must I feel it is my duty to sub for a teacher when she specifically asks for me? Why am I often over-burdened by guilt?
So tomorrow I’m subbing for my sweet little first grade class and I’m sure it will be fine as long as […]

Wouldn’t it just figure that on the very day of my new water aerobics class, a class which is by far the most expensive I’ve ever taken, I’m as sick as a dog and not fit to be in public. I have been trying to talk myself into going all day, but I really […]

I was stumbling around in our walk-in closet, just trying to find a pair of pants. Things were askew. Actually, more accurately, things were not askew. Thus, I couldn’t find any pants. The Laundry Nazi had secretly organized my mass chaos, throwing me for a loop or three. I finally […]
