Queen of Rambles

It’s been a pretty boring day around the apartment. I went grocery shopping. The lady in front of me had two carts full of groceries and the checker had to carefully examine each item before scanning it. I got so irritated that I moved to the next line, which had two people in [...]

It’s just been pointed out that instead of sending my dear readers to the latest edition of the e-zine Mosaic Minds, I sent you to a rock and roll band’s page. Mosaic Minds is just way too popular of a name for things. We should have checked it out a little better when [...]

I’ve spent the day longing for a stiff drink of alcohol. This is an absurd longing, since I don’t even know what a stiff drink of alcohol will do for me. I’ve been tipsy a grand total of one time (you read that right, ONE) in my entire life. I don’t really [...]

This is not a real entry. Of course, if you want to read it you can. It’s a letter I wrote to Verizon customer service (if you can call it “customer service”). I’m putting it here so it will be put into search engines and people might find it if they look [...]

I want to rip my clothes off. I need to rip my clothes off. I CAN’T rip my clothes off. We’re expecting company. Can you guess who? It’s not someone cool like Torapines*. Oh no. That would be too fun.

Even though I’m going with a safari kind of themed nursery (not that we have an actual nursery. . . we aren’t buying all that stuff just yet), I find this extremely disturbing STUFFED ANIMAL HEADS.
Why would you want to imply that a kindly stuffed giraffe has been killed and mounted on your wall? [...]

That title should get the attention of some search engines*.
Get your minds out of the gutter. I’m covered in a combination of potting soil and Modge Podge (a type of crafting glue). Combining gardening and glue is not a wise idea. I didn’t try to do them at the same [...]

I took a brief journey down memory lane today. It could have been a lot longer, but in my many moves I have heartlessly culled the contents of my cedar chest, the repository of all things Keep Worthy. Moving often makes former Keep Worthy items seem not so keep worthy.
I had some things [...]

I have an embarrassing admission to make. I can’t walk more than ten minutes without feeling like I’m going to die. I was feeling pretty spry this evening, so we decided to go out and explore our little neighborhood walking trail. I was ready to give up after fifteen minutes. It was [...]
