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

This will get more entertaining when I have more energy

I realize that I’ve been writing bullet points and slacking off for the most part when it comes to blogging. I intended on writing something witty and brilliant tonight, but I extended my time on the elliptical machine and I am really freaking tired. I wrote for a few hours, but now I am going [...]

Plot change – in bullet form

I’m reworking my novel, but I think I told you this already. I’ve taken the characters that I really loved from Liberty, and put them into the same city, but renamed the city, and changed the hierarchy of the characters. With the tense shifts, POV changes, insecure writing, and confusion, most of you never read [...]

Sunny, cold, and my lip is bleeding

I slept like the dead last night. Using the treadmill will do that for you, if you pull yourself out of your own way to get something done. One thing I haven’t done: laundry. It’s still in a pile, collecting animal hair, and serving as the comfiest bed to both beagle and feline. Wish I [...]

Where is time?

This whole working full-time thing, while GREAT for offering me structure, is shite for my blogging and writing life. I can’t pluck out enough minutes in the day to get a full thought going. At least we have paychecks coming. I think my weekends will be dedicated writing time. If I can crank it out [...]

RIP Mr. Long

I was going to write about my new job, the phone my boss gave me (err, I mean my team mate/leaderperson or something — he’s very into teams) and the desk I finally got to set up. But my old boss from the old job back in Whorelando e-mailed me this morning. One of my [...]

Downloading and downtime

I played Halo last night with my sister and D. I realized a few weeks ago that she stopped blogging because of Halo, and I stopped writing. That’s changing. I think video games, at least for me, are like dessert. I’m allowed to have them, in moderation. Moderation isn’t one of my favorite words. Let’s [...]

Home and employed

I wrote briefly about a job interview I had scheduled for today. Well, after meeting with the company at 11 this morning, they called me at 1 for a second interview. In truth, they wanted me to come back in to offer me the job. I wasn’t the most qualified, but they said they liked [...]

In Charlotte

I’ve got about a half hour till my trek to Phoenix, where I will board my last plane home. I need to brush my teeth, thanks for asking. I’m charging the computer and reading a book now. The restroom calls. But I will write about the last bit of my travels when I get home. [...]

Alone in my room

Some observations before I fall asleep. Because I’ve gone all insominiac on the east coast, and it sucks. Conversation is one of the finest gifts that a person can share. I just had an amazing conversation with one of my residency girls, and I think I made a good friend for a long time. When [...]

Today

Today she turns 14 and I am one year closer to being a good birthmother. I don’t really know what that means, I just feel like there have been a lot of challenges this year that I still don’t feel prepared to face. Add to this the stress of being in PA for school. Last [...]

The days go by

I’m in the computer lab right now. I have about 10 minutes before I have to go to a reading (D I will call you when I get back to the hotel). The week has been hectic, overhwhelming, exhausting and illuminating. This progam, this residency has reinspired me to write more, write well, and to [...]

I’m here

I’m   tired busy forgettnig to take pictures not correcting typos going to sleep missing Snoogs missing portland ready for a quesadilla still typing bad going to slepp nite hite

The E has landed

The flight out wasn’t a traumatizing as I thought it would be. I had a nice space between me and my next seat-mate. He read Harry Potter and napped. We shared the empty seat between us, he used it for storage, and I let my knees rest on the seat. I stared out the window [...]

Signing off

It’s time to take my shower, pack the rest of my things and go to dinner with my huzzie. I know I sound like an uber-sap, but I will miss him while I’m gone. But I look forward to reigniting my creative juices. I’m not jazzed about the plane though. At least, as of right [...]

Don’t know why

Just felt the need to share that. I have this “thing” for liquids, glasses and reflections. What does this make you think of ?

when…..

  I have a lot of things to do before I head out tomorrow, but I’ve gotten a lot done already. I’ve contacted all the people I needed to regarding rooms, flights, etc. I’m working on my laundry, charging my gadgets and ripping movies to put on my PSP. It’s much more affordable than buying [...]

New Year

So, I’ve been in a huge funk, been sick, been less than my 100%. But today is the first day of the new year, and I spent it wearing my new necklace, recovering from too much wine and conversation, and cooking my favorite meal. The clouds and cold reminded me why I love this place. [...]
