Over the years, I’ve learned I can write about nearly anything. Tractors, vitamins, lingerie, hot tubs, psychology, money management, fashion, liquor, religion have all been subjects on which I’ve been paid to write, and I’ve tried to attack them all with the same interest.
A friend of mine once asked me how I could bring myself [...]
Admit it. You knew I’d start reviewing episodes of LOST here, eventually.
And if you’ve been watching all these past four seasons, you knew they were going to go the time-travel route. They’ve been hinting about it from Season 1.
And if you knew those two things were coming, then maybe you know more about the [...]
I have a long history of running away.
I’m five years old, and I am standing in my driveway on a beautiful, sunny afternoon with a red hanky tied up with all my worldly goods. I want to stick it on the end of a stick like I see on TV shows and cartoons, but I [...]
This is not really a post about Grey’s Anatomy, which has sadly sort of tanked for the last couple of seasons, at least as far as I’m concerned.
You know when I realized how bad Grey’s had gotten? I pulled out my season 2 DVDs to watch the episodes with Chris O’Donnell’s “McVet” and realized [...]
Apparently, my doshas were all messed up.
And what, you may ask, is a dosha? Apparently, it’s a “mind-body type” in the Indian alternative/complementary medical school of Ayurveda. (Please don’t ask me how to pronounce that. I’m from Kentuckiana. I can barely pronounce “alternative” properly.)
I knew in December that something was off-kilter and out of [...]
I recently updated Wordpress, the software that runs this blog, to the newest version. This new version will make it easier and faster for me to post “quickie” short posts, like this one.
Along with the new theme (that doesn’t require me to find and edit a thumbnail picture for all posts), I’m [...]
RealSimple: I shamelessly absconded with your idea. - thx, kat.
Here are a few things I (hopefully) won’t be doing this year:
1. Eat Oreo cookies with white wine. I almost got through all of 2008 without learning this little life lesson. Ah, well.
2. Wait till I’m so stressed I’ve developed a facial tic to tell Chris [...]
How full is your life right now?
Is it really full? Over capacity? ”Holy crap, if I say yes to one more thing I may run away from home to become the most boring legal secretary ever” full? (Sorry about that last one. It’s an homage to Anne Tyler’s The Ladder of Years.)
I think many [...]
Welcome to 2009!!
It would be impossible for me to adequately describe how happy I am to be here. I’m glad you’re here, too.
You see, here’s the thing I realized over my Winter Break: you don’t actually have to keep up with the present. In fact, being in the present can be remarkably hard. [...]
