Today I'm dressed as a bad, bad person. Not a bad person as seen on TV, but a real life bad person who looks like everyone else. (don't say cop-out ( Read more... )

My roof started leaking onto a shelf full of framed photos and since I immediately rushed to grab this one, I recently discovered how important this picture is to me. So it's time I had a digital copy. This is my grandpa and I shortly after I was born when he had just gotten his GED. This picture ran in the local newspaper with the caption " ( Read more... )

So I had to give up on the abortion controversy email group. I figured it would only last a week or so, and it was interesting in that time. But in the end 90% of the posts were just insulting one woman in particular, Liz. Granted, she's an ignora-moose of the Nth degree, but name-calling is not debating. If you have to sink to that level, you' ( Read more... )

This year, I'll be taking part in JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with one-half million other walkers across the country, as we try to reach our goal of raising $90 million ( Read more... )

So I got an invite to join this abortion controversy yahoo group and joined just out of curiosity. As you can imagine, it gets pretty heated in there and very active. It'll be entertaining for a week, until I get my fill of vitriol ( Read more... )

So Superbad started this weekend. I guess I never posted that Chuck and I went to a sneak preview of this movie about 3 weeks ago. Got free tickets from my favorite local watering hole ( Read more... )

Long have I known of your affinity for geometric shapes. I've had round hair, triangular hair, even square hair. But this current shape, the hexagon, is truly

So I also never posted about our second MC Chris show. We went to the first and he was in a bad mood, but Chuck is an uber-fan, so we went to a second show last month or so. Much, much better. MC Chris was out talking to fans before the show. He said he remembered us from the last show. The show was better, more energy, better sound. Lots of ( Read more... )

My Mom frequently forwards every crazy piece of right-wing-proganda email she gets from anyone in my diverse family to me, her token liberal daughter. (who is really more of a conservative who bothers to think for herself every now and then) She expects me to research, debunk and respond and save her the trouble. Quick to share an opinion, I ( Read more... )

So the week after Hitchcock passed, Chuck's mom passed. I'm glad my cat went first because I think it increased my understanding of what he was going through. I know a cat does not compare to a mother, but it allowed me to be a better girlfriend when he really needed me. She had been battling breast cancer for three years and had recently ( Read more... )
