I Cried This Morning

There are things we don’t blog about. Me, I don’t blog about the sad things, the stressful things, and the things that upset me. Doing so usually makes me sadder, upsetter, and more stressed out…and lord knows you guys have enough of that in your own lives. You know what those things are. I don’t have to go over…

Today is…WHAT?

Today is the the day that we all say, “WHAT? February’s over ALREADY? Where has this year gone? I’ve got to get my butt in gear!” At least, that’s what you should be saying. That’s what I’m saying. So I’m signing off to get some serious work done. What are you doing today? Tweet

Lucky Birthdays

Many customs say that it is lucky for a child to be born close to a parent’s birthday. This is a good thing, for my birthday is only three days after my fathers, and Soteria’s is four days after my mother’s. Fourteen years ago, Fairy Goddaughter Ariell missed her father’s birthday by a mere seven minutes and seven seconds…so…

5-Minute Muse

I’m always curious about what/who creative people use as their Muse. There are many definitions out there — most of them lofty and romantic.

Mea Culpa

Yeah, this one’s totally on me — the girl in the first row, on the elliptical machine by the window. My fault entirely. I take full responsibility.

While I hobble like an old woman through my daily chores and decide which fairy tale to read for tomorrow that won’t kill my brain, I thought I’d share with you one of…

SuperCommercials

Obviously, my favorite commercial of Superbowl Sunday was Lord Vader’s VW. I was a bit gutted when I realized they chopped the thing to fit it in…if you only saw it last night, you should really watch the Director’s Cut on YouTube. It’s easy to find — chances are, 42 of your friends already posted it to their Facebook…

Famous Last Words

I passed The FairyGodBoyfriend in the bathroom yesterday. I was leaving and he was coming in to take a shower. I patted him on the bum and said, “God, I love your butt” before taking my leave. I promptly started picking up the bedroom and collecting laundry, which is a good thing to do when Joe is not present….

Ice Capades, Part Deux

I heard there was more bad weather in our future, so I went out yesterday and risked borderline frostbite to dig my car out of the igloo it was already in, before it froze over and I had to hire a jackhammer to extract it. I got it moved, the snow plow guy came and bulldozed my space free…
