Ketchup
This is where I stop being a total slacker and I get back into the groove of everyday writing. I almost applied to write for Portland Metroblogging, but I thought it would be silly. I can’t get myself to write every day right now, so why add another stress when I have a shitload of [...]
Welcome to my home
I have a place to hang my birdfeeder. With evergreens and a porch, Cat helped us with our new home. The porch is lined with tile, the kitchen has an island big enough for my salsa disasters and cooking fiascoes. There’s a bus stop outside my front door, and our property is lined with sidewalks. [...]
Happy Birthday Cat!!!!
I shall sing a song for you via the all powerful internets, because my singing voice is crap and I have a migrane and I don’t want to make it worse, Yes my singing voice is THAT bad. Okay, I’m not really singing, but the sentiment is there! Have a great birthday Cat!
Calling all coolers!!
Hello my little friends….do you have a cooler? Can I borrow it for the party on Saturday? I promise to bring it back in good condition… thank you … ~E~ **edit** Never mind — the bossy let me borrow one
GRADUATION
Here’s the e-vite. Everyone is welcome…even those of you who don’t live locally. Please bring a friend or five, a beverage or ten, and something to snack on. My family is going to be here… Mom and Alexis and Derick fly in on the 11th of May. I don’t know what I’m more excited about [...]
300 and a beer
Unless you have had your head up your ass (or you are not interested – which would also be indicative of your head being up your ass) you know that 300 comes out on Friday. I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. D and I are heading down on Friday to see it [...]
Happy Holidaze Party
Hello Children…this is your Erica speaking. Next Saturday, on January 13, it’s party time @ the McEachern household. I am cooking, kiddies. Lots of happy Vegetarian food. Be ready to eat. But, you have to bring the booze (or in your case Julie – sparkling apple cider or something. Here are the details. When: January [...]
Honest patchwork
Half written posts clog up a section of WordPress - the “manage” section. This probably doesn’t mean a damn thing to you, but I save some sites there, or story ideas and whatnot. The problem is, there are a lot of half-finished posts just sitting in digital purgatory. Some are rants. Others, just incomplete thoughts. [...]
Wine, women and naps.
I don’t nap often. I can’t slow down enough to get my mind to rest without the help of my meds. If you are curious, and I know you are, I don’t take sleeping pills. But sleep without chemical help remains an impossibility unless I am very exhausted. I was tired yesterday. I took a [...]
Mostly hypotheical question…
What would you do if someone gave you a jar of home made salsa for Christmas?
Out with the stitches, in with the cortisone and the final was my bitch!
The first event of the day brought me to Orange Avenue, near Winter Park. My dermatologist scheduled me for 9 that morning, and I was running late. I have a problem routing myself in the most efficient direction, instead, I weave to and fro through familiar streets, comfortable and slow. Actually, I’m not a slow [...]
Tofurkey Day through Monday
The weekend was too short. I am sure that many people feel that way, but my Sunday felt too colored by blue. D and I tried to combat that by going to the Aloma Cinema and Grill (not a bad place to see a movie!) for a little Casino Royale action. Frankie mentioned the uneven [...]
A Tuesday that feels like Thursday
I have class tonight and prior to class, I am meeting Anne for a quick dinner or coffee. This weather is so refreshing. I love it. I brought my blue hat (picture forthcoming), and I am wearing it right now. They keep my office overly cold. Any excuse to wear my hat. What are your [...]
I’m tired of my mailbox being full
I don’t know how D and I got on a Republican mailing list, but I am very very sick of the ads. I don’t agree with the views of the Republican party. You can’t “count on” my vote come next week. The ads on television disgust me. Why do we elect these whining toddlers who [...]
Blessed Samhain
and Happy Halloween. And happy Anniversary to me and D. I love this day. It means so much to me. I start over every October 31st. Rebirth. Regeneration Reinvigoration. And so, if you are curious, D and I have a relatively mundane plan. When he is finished with his shower, we will go to Einstein’s [...]
Dog sitter?
Does anyone want to puppy sit for us on our anniversary? Pweeze? We are going to stay at the Park Plaza on Halloween night and I need for someone to spend the night. Anyone? Anyone? And — look at their reflecto-collars. It’s a bitch to take a picture with a flash with those things.
Battlecrack and the best class
Last night I muddled through another grammar class. It’s been hell and I feel like I’m not getting it. We were writing sentence examples on the board. Dr. Laws asked me to write one of my examples. There were comments on my handwriting. Well, they were compliments. I informed the class that my handwriting masked [...]
Run run run…
Till beagles take your grumpy awaaaayyyy (sung to that beach boys song). For some reason I am very amused when someone re-makes a song, imbuing it with silly. D and I do that quite often. Or, we find the most obnoxious song possible and sing at the top of our lungs. D busted out with [...]
On Saturday – Burpday!
Babbo’s at 6. If you are coming, let me know ASAP so I can reserve a table outside. Dancer’s Royale at 8:30ish (depending on how long dinner goes). Bring you dollar bills!
The rare Dunny, and a road trip
I think you all know of my obsession with crap-tastic little plastic toys. I don’t know what it is that drives me, but the cuter the better. So last night at Uberbot (my local crack-house for goodies) they were having a Dunny Series 3 trading party. I got an e-mail stating as much, but I [...]
