I am now going to creep myself the hell out by watching Poltergeist by myself (the cats don’t count) in the (mostly) dark. Was out to dinner with previously mentioned pretty boy and we were discussing scary movies. He scoffed at Poltergeist AND the original Halloween. “Have you ever seen them?” I asked. “Um, no.” […]

So. I’ve fallen a couple of times on my crutches. Attempting to do housework? No. Trying to get dressed? No. Taking a shower? No. Unavoidable kittens underfoot/crutch? No. Boys? Yes. Yes, boys. Well, men, I suppose. Put me in front of a guy I like and we’re talking instant gimpy-girl-on-crutches slapstick. It just doesn’t get […]

The problem with spending lots of time at home (alone) recovering from foot surgery is that nothing interesting happens. Thus, no LJ updates. I mean, I could talk about my cats and their complete inability to understand that they are NOT allowed to fall asleep on my bandaged foot. Or I could talk about the […]

The good news is that Deb has no head trauma, no spinal trauma. She has one cracked rib, and a shattered ankle that has been lovingly pinned back together by a team of crack orthopoedic surgeons at Standford. The bad news is that Russell has two broken arms, a broken leg, and more significantly, the […]

Ok. Today started off pretty well. I got up, cleaned part of the bathroom and took out garbage before I went to work. I even got to work on time for once. People at work seemed happy, and I was nervous about finding time to do all the stuff that I should’ve done over the […]

Wednesday felt like Friday. Then Thursday felt like Friday. Now it’s Friday and it doesn’t feel like Friday. Go figure. I’m killing some time here at work before I move on to the next event of the evening. It just isn’t worth going home and going back out again. The only problem with killing time […]

I’ve now had to correct my last entry twice due to incorrect spellings of “chicken.” Oh, and I managed to misspell it differently in each instance. Very inconsistent of me. I may have to actually start using the abominable spell-check in this thing to avoid such embarrassing typos. Y kant venus speel? (Obscure and gratuitous […]

Wow. I forget sometimes how girly I can be. Today all it took were two little words to throw me into a tizzy: hot tub Yes. Hot tub – tomorrow night. Invitation. Dinner and hot tub. EEK! At first I had the bathing-suit crisis. Do I even own one that fits any more? I don’t […]

wasting time getting wasted getting thick-waisted thick-willed thin-skinned think sin sinning tasted I can’t remember the last time I truly sinned. That’s not true… I can. But it’s been a very long time. Which isn’t to say that I always do the right thing — just that my mistakes lately are liveable. I’m in an […]

This guy I cuddled with recently has an LJ account. Sure, I’d heard about LJ over the years, but had never once checked it out. And now, after having been inspired by post-cuddling euphoria, I have a journal of my very own. Woo. But back to cuddling… Hopefully most of us in this world have […]
