As in, I’m going under one. Well, a couple, I suppose, if you count the couple of tiny incisions that are required for arthroscopy. And then there’s the whole ablation/debriding thing they’ll have going on once they’re in there… but they don’t technically use knives for that part. I saw my new MD for the […]

It’s not me, it’s you.
It’s Valentine’s Day! And rather than go all mushy about my two amazing men (which I could do ad nauseam, believe me), I will instead devote this post to a break-up. I will start with one of my favorite quotes, from one of my favorite movies, Singles (start at 1:11 if you don’t want to […]

Red Writing Hood: Not His To Tell
I tend to walk with my eyes downcast. I watch the sidewalk. For debris, cracks, dog shit. So when the snow started to fall, I didn’t notice it. As I had put down my head and started my walk I was on the north side of campus. Now, heading south through the park toward my […]

And then there were… WAY TOO MANY
My problem is that I really love reading blogs. Yeah, that’s a problem. In that I don’t have enough time to actually read all the ones I’ve subscribe to in my Reader. Hell, I hardly have enough time to POST lately, and respond to the kind commenters on my own stuff let alone READ others’. […]

Don’t worry, everyone will be drunk anyway.
Yesterday we decided to take a walk to Blue Monk to participate in their Sour Beer fest (more about Blue Monk and our sour beer proclivity here). We got showered and dressed and packed G snugly into his stroller. As M and I were getting our shoes, coats, scarves, earmuffs, and gloves on, I realized I’d […]

Really????
Wow. I’m learning all sorts of things about myself while doing this blogging thing. Sometimes, it’s forcing me to acknowledge things that I already knew but was conveniently ignoring. This morning, for instance, I’m stunned at my disappointment that I have no official views of yesterday’s post yet. Here’s why I’m stunned (at my disappointment, […]

My kid has great taste.
Really. The other night M and G and I went to our local cafe after dinner for some warm drinks and yummy dessert. G has a great time at the cafe. He loves to people watch, and always makes a new friend or two because apparently M and I aren’t the only ones who think […]

Red Writing Hood: The Beach
Gritty. In her mouth, in her suit, in her mind. “When did I become such a killjoy?” He cocked an eyebrow, and said, “What do you mean, ‘when’?” “Pffft.” Shelley wiggled her toes, displacing Tom’s weatherbeaten ones in the sand. She tried to re-embody childhood memories. warmth tickling toes, laughter dancing on the air, eyes […]

It’s not a train!!!
sigh Those of you who’ve dealt with depression and/or anxiety understand the title of this post. It’s that feeling you get when you wake up one morning, and all of a sudden you realize the world doesn’t actually suck. Or rather, and much more accurately, that you no longer feel a constant impending doom crushing […]
