Cleaning House – The Drafts Addition
I have spent every New Year cleaning up the drafts section in WordPress, dumping the incomplete thoughts and half finished blogs in one, very long, post. I neglected to do that last year, and so here they are – the crumbs of the past, incomplete rants and raves, the drafts. They span the time all [...]
170 lbs of shame
We didn’t have our normal Biggest Loser workout. The show was delayed because of the stupid Blazers game. I hate professional sports. I always have, and for reasons like that – they ruin my shows. That and, wouldn’t it be more entertaining to go out and PLAY the fucking sport yourself? Instead you sit and [...]
Little Links
I haven’t done this in a while. But I thought I would give you some entertainment for the afternoon. Eww Eww Eww Eww Eww…. and that’s all I can say about this story. Oh, and I’m glad I don’t live in a place where these fuckers can breed… like FLORIDA! Goodnight Little Lander.. You outlasted [...]
NaNoWriMo, and a good phone call
Calie, my wonderfully brilliant critique partner lives in Wilmington, NC. She called me from an Obama benefit where James Taylor was singing. Calie works in a theatre, and has many fun stories about the theatre antics. And I got an e-mail from her this week saying that she would be at the event. But the [...]
After these messages
I have a shitton of writing to do and the deadline is today. I, Erica the MoodyMeow, am the queen of “the absolute last minute.” I think I should get a crown or something. While the dogs finish eating, a few quickies and I will leave you… Being a part-time vegetarian? I think being more [...]
Why am I always playing catch up?
This is bullet-form day. I rarely have time to blog anymore with my schedule. Work is nuts, all the time, which is a good thing. I’m never bored, but there are rarely lulls that would allow me to blog. And by the time I get home, I just want to unwind. The Best Compliment – [...]
Things to do in Portland when you’re me
Go to a “special” women’s group – It’s no surprise to many of you (and if it is, sorry! ) that I am way freaking out of the closet with my sexuality. I’m Bi, and proud of it. No, it’s not a phase. Yes, I can be bi, monogomous, and married. No, I don’t want [...]
Runsong
I spent most of last night playing with Soundstudio, stringing together a few songs for my run. I bought this book years ago, and have had many aborted attempts at getting a running program started for myself. And I love D – what ever I needed, he was willing to get. I have great shoes. [...]
A little bit of politic….s
Let me reiterate for the record: I’m very liberal, voting for Obama. I think Bill Richardson would make an excellent VP. I am very anti-war. That doesn’t mean I hate the troops, and if you want to come back at me with that argument, stick it up your ass. Being a military brat, and the [...]
Go by Bike
August is Go By Bike month! (although I’m not sure whether this is local or not)…but go to the site. Take a look – especially if you are local, and give a try to going by bike!
When it’s just not worth fighting about….
I’ve had some hiccups with friends recently. I’m either excluded from the important things, or some get on their high horses, hurt my feelings, and the blame the whole situation on me. Now, shit happens. I totally get that. But I’m more than a little tired of fighting with people. My mantra is “life’s too [...]
this n that….
It’s been a rough week overall. I have very supportive friends that are helping me through being out of work, but then I found out that I’m not eligible for unemployment this quarter. If I file in September, then I am eligible, but right now I don’t have enough hours. It’s a screwy system that [...]
A year ago today…
I think. I’m really shitty with dates, but I think a year ago-ish, we arrived in Portland. We spent the 4th with my Mom in Frisco, that much I do remember. But we’ve been here a year, and a lot has changed. Too much has remained the same. And time marches on. Here is what [...]
Small Steps
I spoke with Mom yesterday as she left the plane. She sounded tired, worn, blue, and uneasy. But I made her laugh (it’s what us kids do), and she promised to call with any news. It’s nearly noon on the East coast, and no word. But my phone is still on. And things keep rolling. [...]
Chicken Fat, yes, I said Chicken Fat
In my sad attempts to try and eat healthier, I went to Subway for lunch the other day. Chill. I wasn’t anywhere near Portland, otherwise I would have stopped in on one of my favorite restaurants. Every Wednesday I drive to Battle Ground for a meeting, during the lunch hour, and they don’t have much [...]
Keep god out of greeting cards
Let this be a warning…I’m on my “I can’t fucking stand self-important Christians who tread on hypocritical moral high ground” soapbox… Why? Because it’s pre-coffee time, I forgot my breakfast and I pissed at the world that I had to get out of bed this morning. Only someone who is painfully idiotic or completly unaware [...]
Political Bitchslap
Thwap – that’s what this would sound like. When I was half asleep, trying to wake up and uncurl myself from around a particularly cute pile of beagles, I listened to the morning talking heads chewing on this story with a kind of sick relish. What do I think about this? Fucking duh! But I [...]
Tagged with a time waster…and I love these things
I was negligent in linking back to Claire, who began this thing. Sorry And now, to the silliness…. What were you doing five years ago? May of 2003: 1) Living in the duplex in the Delaney Park neighborhood of Orlando. 2.) Still able to drink a gallon of wine with D without getting wicked hung [...]
And now, with gas
Does coffee give you gas? Or is it just that time when I have to poo in the morning? Who knows. I don’t put milk in my coffee anymore, so I know it’s not the lactose thing. Chill out, there, Sparky. I still like my coffee all creamy, but I use soy creamer now. There’s [...]
I’m wearing a braid and a sweater
We had a lovely break in the gray for the past few days. The weatherpeople even predicted sun for the weekend. They were wrong, of course. I woke to dark skies. Living here has changed my appreciatation for the blue of the sky and how sunlight feels when it’s unfiltered by high clouds or blocked [...]
