So my recent post aside I do want to post about last week. It was a good week.

Monday Spike and I took off to Indy so he could do a last minute feature. Its always a good time in Indy. I slammed in their slam...came in second....to a poem with the line, delivered in complete seriousness mind you, "I'll make him shake like Michael J Fox."....wow!! ( Read more... )

Adam Stone gave me this exercise where you write the same sentence over and over in different ways. Last night when I was in hysterics I decided to see how many ways I could say "sometimes you just snap"-its not a poem-its just the only thing I could think to do last night ( Read more... )

Monday night I was in the grocery store pasta aisle picking put pasta-my grandma calls and says sort of with all of the emotion in a flushed goldfish "Bad news, Grandpa died today". This is a call I have expected off and on for years now. I was already planning a trip to Lebanon in the coming weekend for my friend Mandy's wedding-so I told her I ( Read more... )
