Liberal, lunatic lassie, with mood swings and foot-in-mouth syndrome

The Hiatus

I have lots of wonderful things I could discuss with you - my graduation, my new job, my writing life, but I am quite busy living things and not blogging them these days. There has been an obvious shift since I obtained an iPhone, which does not make blogging easy but has satisfied my need [...]

Coming Clean

I erased the entry I wrote yesterday because yesterday was not one of my better days. I recognize the swing from mania to depression. Love how it only takes a few hours to get out of the hole. I guess there is something to be said about rapid cycling. That being said, I did some [...]

Spoonful of Sugar, Spoonful of Acid

The pendulum swings both ways. I get the gift of a couple of interviews, I end up in 2nd place for both jobs. I have all this time to write, but I spend it worrying about our family.
Right now, I would like to kick life in its everloving ass and tell it to be a [...]

The Nature of Sound

I listened to the thundering of elephant feet on the stairs, and smiled. My nephew raced to the 1st floor bathroom and slammed the door. The house teemed with noise - the squealing laughter of a joyful 4 year old or the conspiring murmurs of a pair of boys locked in epic battle, playing some [...]

I’m alive

Just busy doing what I do most of these days - worry and twitter. I should sit down and discuss my daily forays into the world of the working class, but I can’t. Not one fucking nibble on my resume. This is doubly worrying because I leave for school in less than two months, and [...]

A funny for your day.

Seriously, I almost peed my pants when I read this. David and I are headed to the Stumptown Comics Fest this weekend (we are totally biking there). I can’t wait. But meanwhile, in Ericaland, I have a novel to finish editing. Yeah, it’s totally due today.
No you don’t have to tell me what an awesome [...]

Capped

I broke my front tooth when I was a kid. It was capped with something that reminded me of a corner of chicklet gum. Granted, this dental work was performed in the 80’s. They didn’t have all those fancy polymers and natural tooth (see: stained from years of coffee, cigarettes, and poor brushing) coloring. I [...]

Dental Drama

While I was enthused to get my tooth fixed a few months ago, my continuing visits to the dentist are draining our wallet. I have another appointment today. I don’t know which teeth they are going to fix (I have three cavities) but I would like to get a job so I can actually afford [...]

Hello, my name is Erica

Yes, I know I’ve written only several times in the past month. Part of this is due to the lack of anything really substantive to talk about. Who wants to hear me whine about not having a full time job? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
What I can tell you in positive land, is that Spring [...]

Slacker

I swear, I’ve started 100 posts since my last one, but I get interrupted and stop. There are a number of drafts waiting for me to finish them. But I will just take this moment to admit that I’m totally slacking on the blogging thing.
And I would continue this post, but I have a [...]

Only my left ass cheek is Irish

That would have my grandmother rolling over in her grave. We pride ourselves on our Irish heritage, but what in the hell do I really know about this holiday? Was it manufactured just to have a bunch of white folk go get rowdy and drink beer? Isn’t everyone Irish anyway?
I usually research things like this [...]

Nuggets

I finally saw Wall-E. I hated it, so I won’t discuss it.
I have noticed I spend a million more hours in my office now that we don’t have cable. And when I edit, I like to listen to things, like movies I know by heart or shitty TV shows care of Hulu. So, in the [...]

David’s Birthday at Cannon Beach

Happy Birthday David

I love you.

Birthdays

I have two birthdays to attend this week. My hubbie’s birthday is on Thursday and my sister’s is on Saturday. I have very special plans for David’s birthday. I will spill the beans later. And we are going up to Tacoma for Alexis’s. It’s going to be a good week.
Oh and I am finishing [...]

A good day…

is….

finding that perfect gift that gave me the belly laughs. I can’t wait to give it to her
realizing that David and I share a brain sometimes, echoing each other’s thoughts. It feels good to be understood.
getting rid of all the highlighted words in my current section of the novel. The next section’s work begins now.
turning [...]

I’m proud of you

You know who you are and why. I just wanted the world to know.

When I had things to do

Not that I don’t have things to do right now, I do. I could rework my resume for my Monday morning onslaught of the job boards. Or I could clean the bathroom. I should finish these edits, but I think my eyes may bleed soon, and not in that cute, horror-movie kind of way (yes, [...]

Emotional Hangover

I’ve been pretty diligent about working on my novel. There are a lot of changes to be made in this middle section, but I’m quite pleased with my progress. That being said, is any novel truly perfect?
Ginny visited our fair city and left on Thursday. I didn’t get to spend as much time with her [...]

Taking Stock

Ginny, a friend from Florida, is visiting this week. Actually, she’s on the train to Seattle at the moment, but I have been able to steal a few minutes here and there with her. She’s staying with Amandapants, and it’s been a blast. Having her here made me really take stock of what’s going on [...]
