I’m getting to the age where my friends are starting to die.
It’s not an easy place to be. Inside, I still feel like I’m young - much like Wanda Sykes, I still think and act like I did when I was 26. This mild self-delusion is only compounded by Dear Husband and I not having children. Since we don’t have fast-growing, proto-people in our lives we’re ( Read more... )

The professor handed out the class waivers as I sat nervously in my seat, looking around the class at all the young, normal-body weight people around me ( Read more... )

So, I'm not feeling all that hot today - I used an OTC sleep aid last night (did you know that NyQuil actually sells liquid benadryl as a non habit-forming sleep aid now?) and feel all groggy and hung over as a result. :P  I know I ought to be studying or working on my presentation for Leadership (which is about 75% done)... but I just don't feel ( Read more... )

How this works: Comment with your favorite color and I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better. Update your journal with the answers to the questions. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

Here's what cyanide_n_gold gave me:

With the advent of inclement weather I have been less inclined to go jogging.

I don't mind running in the rain so long as that rain is in spring, summer or early fall.  See, the rain is warm-ish then.  This time of year, the rain gets all mixed up with wind chill and mid-30F to 40F temps and makes for a hugely unpleasant experience.  You can have ( Read more... )

So, most of you know I sew.  It would be nice to style myself a seamstress, but in reality I have nowhere near the chops to self-apply such a title.  I'm just a woman with intermediate sewing skills.

For the last decade I've used a bare-bones, modern Singer electric like the one here.  (Singer doesn't actually make my modern machine anymore it ( Read more... )

It appears as if Bill and I won't be relocating to BC in the near future.

Thank you, America, for not making me move. :)

Most of you know about my undying love for my Vibram 5 Finger shoes.  Any comfortable running I've been able to manage gets placed firmly at the feet of my Vibram KSOs.

So, I ran across this contest giving away a free pair once a month for the entire year of 2012.  
Of course I'm shouting this out to everyone.  Even if I don't win a pair (and I ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I posted.  Not because I don't love ya'll still... just I've been a bit busy lately.  Today, however, I don't feel well so I'm keeping things low-key.

Work has been slow - like there isn't any kind of slow.  I'm looking for a local gig, but that's slow too.  Suffice it to say, finances are a concern... and had tormentedartist not found a job ( Read more... )

Back in the days when tormentedartist and I were still in that "I-like-you-but-we're-not-yet-a-couple" stage I wrote a story titled "A Lot Can Happen In A Year".  (It's around if you dig... but the content is somewhat adult so you have to dig a lot.)

The way things really went down between B and I is very different from the contents of the story I wrote. Most of ( Read more... )
