Greek to Me - Confessions of an Altared Boy
By virtue of my tendencies toward obsessivity, it seems not out of the realm of possibility that I find myself, once again addicted to a certain behavior. (Not unlike my sister-of-another-mother, Piglet…
That behavior, of course, being the uncontrollable urge to scour YouTube for the [...]

≈You probably aren’t going to feel very social today, dear Pisces. In fact, you’re likely to want to work on projects and tasks alone if you can. This actually might be good for you, as you probably need to concentrate on crossing certain things off your list without being distracted. [...]

I have fourteen nephews. Several of them I’ve lost touch with since I divorced my first husband. One of them has recently come back into my life and I’m very happy about that. There is no particular reason for this reacquaintance other than the fact that he picked up the phone a [...]

Crazy week I’m having here, thanks for askin’.
Therapy progress was looking grim until this morning when I woke up and felt like a human being. I’m feeling more hopeful. My ultrasonic and hands-on massage yesterday was accompanied by a quite informative half-hour long oration about the history of the states of Mississippi and [...]

I had a little change of plans. Originally I was embarking on my “road trip” yesterday when I got home from work. But, due to my own procrastination practices and a detail or two out of my control, I’m leaving this morning instead. My head is in a much better place than it was. Not [...]

So after a terrific Easter dinner at me mum’s house, I find myself here with a giant cup of coffee laced heavily with French Vanilla creamer and a plate of yummy homemade peanut butter fudge and Turtle Temptations which are chocolate/caramel/pecan bars oozing with yumminess. Forget that I feasted earlier on ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, [...]

I must spend some time here praising the movie In Pursuit of Happyness. Quite frankly, I thought I’d rented a different movie (the title escapes me now but it stars Adam Sandler…). You’ll have to excuse my lack of expertise in the field of movie reviewing. I seldom pay attention to the “professionals”. Most times [...]
