I am devoting this entry to something nauseatingly cute: the songs I sing to my dog ( Read more... )

This has NOTHING to do with any of the fabulous things I will report tomorrow, but thought I would duly note that today I saw a kid dressed as an honest-to-god old school punk--the mohawk, the ripped wife-beater with some punk slogan scrawled on it in black marker, the tight black jeans, and big tall pair of Doc Marten boots--and I realized that it ( Read more... )

Since I last posted, I have...

...taken a nap, applied for a job as a dog walker, been slightly miffed by the message left by the headache clinic nurse, eaten a really good vegetarian BLT with home-grown tomatoes, and made significant strides toward the purchase of a car.

Trends point upward. I intend to sleep tonight.

Well, the latest wee one has been dropped off at the wildlife rehabilitation center where he's been reunited with his sister. They said she's doing well. I was pleased to see that this little guy was a lot feistier after being in his little nest in the box--he had been easy to pick up when he was out in the yard, offering virtually no struggle at ( Read more... )

Here's the promised video. See what it took to be in an all-girl teenage rock band in the 90's, from the guitars and effects pedals to the silver lipstick and photo shoots. (Also, you can see what I looked like in junior high when I had longer hair and wore all baggy clothes...)

At 12:30 last night, with my skin aching and a seam of prickling, burning migraine pain running across my brain, I totally had this entry all formulated, but was too drugged to get up and write it. We'll see if I can still muster some of the magic twelve hours later.

Eh, nope. Maybe some other time.

I'm back. Had lovely trip right up until my first real migraine in three years struck. Am still recovering. Just picked up the pup from camp. Whirling licking panting tornado of joy! Lots of mouse photos at my aunt's, dinner with cousins, new walker for grandpa, lunch with Guy, a brief appearance at the big family dinner (20 of 'em) despite ( Read more... )

Check out my seriously wicked new shoes, complete with 4.25" mirrored stiletto heels! Look out world, I'm ready to walk all over you!
