Nesting in her feathers. No Ducklings yet!

A new buddy

Last year I participated in The Skectchbook Project. My sketchbook was titled “Hope” and strangely enough, this monster appeared. In all the drawings I didn’t overthink, this monster was there. Standing next to the scale during weigh-ins, mailing an important package, exercising. This giant furry mess was there.  Then recently, he reappeared in my drawings. [...]

One more week

One week from today, I will be waking up in my warm bed at home. Home will be far away from where I work, and I will do a little happy dance in a sunny room. Because I’m sleeping in that day and it will be sunny outside then. I was up at 5:00am this [...]

Obama makes a Statement

“I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines [...]

Y’all have really helped me, with your listening, your nice comments, and sharing your own stories on your blogs.  [...]

Quiet

Last week was pretty terrible. Like getting exposed to an infectious disease and then being told you have to go back into the room and collect the soiled belongings of person who has infectious disease and you have to put in writing TWICE how you won’t do that because you’re really uncomfortable with the idea of [...]

Renting Movies from iTunes

Since canceling my Netflix account, I was looking for a way to rent a movie a couple of nights ago. iTunes lets you rent movies, and my computer has pretty awesome resolution, so boom. I rented The 3 Musketeers. The movie was silly and fun when I finally got to watch it SEVEN HOURS LATER after [...]

Mouse Trap

Packing stinks. I haven’t been able to accomplish much in the last week. My packing frenzy has stalled out, and I stare at my belongings with dread and unenthusiasm. can’t I just throw it haphazardly in the car and take it all home? So what if it all arrives in tiny pieces? I also want to [...]
