In Lieu of an Actual Post Because I’m all Stressy

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Here’s a picture of a moose eating a tasty salad: This moose in no way resembles me, because the only thing I have eaten recently is a chocolate donut and a piece of pepperoni pizza.

You Probably Don’t Want to Come for Dinner, Do You?

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

There’s a dead fly on my bathroom mat. I’ve named it Stan. I don’t normally name dead insects in my house but I’ve taken a liking to this one. He’s been lying there, spindly legs sticking straight up, for about two weeks now. I’m somewhat obsessive compulsive, but not the good obsessive compulsive. The kind [...]

This Is What PMS Does To Me

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Woe betide the produce that finds itself sitting next to a pair of scissors at a certain time of the month. Poor cucumber.

The Pineapple Feels Violated

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

This is Schnozz. That’s me on the right, molesting a pineapple: I met Schnozz here: I spend inordinate amounts of time staring at this glowing, gray box. Whenever I open the laptop, the dog heaves large, breathy sighs because she knows all my love is being siphoned off her and straight to bloggers I’ve never [...]

Application to the Leper Colony

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

I have a rash on the inside of my left wrist. And a newly chipped front tooth. I have no idea how I managed to chip a tooth, but I keep wondering what happened to the missing bit. Did I spit it out? Swallow it? Is it on my floor somewhere? The only certainty is [...]

Large Caribou Know Zip about String Theory

Monday, July 24th, 2006

I’m still filled with joy over my new design. I’m also bogged down by trepidation. What if my posts aren’t equal to the beauty of the masthead? What if, now that I have my very own domain name, I flub? Stall. Forget to relay quotes like, “We’re a nation of hussies. Hussies who don’t wear [...]

This Design Brought to You By Paris Hilton and Manolo Blahnik

Friday, July 21st, 2006

Behold my beautiful new web site. I had nothing to do with it. Schnozz designed and implemented and tore out large chunks of hair while I sat at my computer eating bonbons and yelling “More shoes!” “Smaller font!” and “Stop giving me lip, woman!” She should know better than to do nice things for me. [...]

Three Sticks of Butter = Well-Spent Evening

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

I made molasses spice cookies last night. There are people who need cookies, and these people can’t be ignored. Due to a certain recent incident, where a certain someone didn’t get any cookies, it has been alleged that I eat more than my fair share of treats. This is a blatant lie. Besides, if it [...]

I Like My OCD with a Side of ADD

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Yesterday I was doing my yoga DVD. Because I have been told that yoga might help me relax and that I need to do more tree hugging. During the course of my yoga session, I hopped up no less than five times to do something else entirely. [Standing mountain pose...] “I really need some soup. [...]

Thirsty Work

Monday, July 17th, 2006

“I’m glad I know you’re exaggerating. Otherwise I’d think you were a drunk.” Does anyone here not understand that I’m exaggerating? Anyone think I’m a drunk? If my own mother is a bit unclear, I thought it best to check with the rest of you. Allow me to state, in no uncertain terms, that I [...]
