just making my way
I’m a vegetarian. Sort of. Occasionally I eat fish, but I don’t eat cows or pork or lamb or chicken ever. I wish I could say it’s because I think of the environment first and foremost, but I have no morals when it comes to food. The fact that I’m helping the planet in some [...]
So, today is my birthday. July 7. And, if you’ve read one of my previous blog posts, you already know I’m not a big fan of my birthday. If you haven’t read it, go read it. Then come back here and read this. I wrote that other blog post not too long ago and I [...]
I love my animal farm, I really do. With all my heart. I have two black and white cats, each around 7 years old, and one blue pitbull puppy around 6 months. They keep me very busy. If I’m not cleaning out the two litter boxes – which is a serious job considering Paxton, the [...]
I’m not sure how to interpret what happened yesterday morning, but I’ll tell you the story first and leave the understanding for later or never or both. I woke up early to the usual chores.

I’ve been thinking about babies. Tending to a 10 week old puppy has brought up all sorts of things; thinking about babies is one of them. Not that I want to have one, even though I still might, but I’ve been wondering what life would have been like had I already had one. Before. I [...]
Hardly a Happy Birthday. No, not mine. My birthday isn’t until July. It was Bethenny’s, as in Bethenny Ever After on Bravo Bethenny. She just turned 40 on her show and for weeks prior she expressed, not just once, how she wanted the day to pass uneventfully. She didn’t want a party or big brouhaha, [...]
Yesterday, Friday, I woke up hearing about the devastation in Japan. An hour later I was running on the soft sand and a police helicopter hovered over me announcing “tsunami warning! clear the beach!” Um, I think you have the wrong continent. I understand that tsunamis can travel great distances and the effects are often [...]
It was late Friday night and eight of us had done a number on Kim’s parent’s bar. The clanking bottles, lined up, full of crystal clear liquid or dark and smooth, called out to me. The bar was long and narrow, the wall behind it a mirror with rows of glass shelves so everything looked [...]
