  • In the Meantime…

    I am still collecting stories for the “A Dollar for your Thougths: The Big Easy” project. I realize it went a little sour (derailed, whatever) after someone said something negative about New Orleans, but I want to leave this up for as long as humanly possible in hopes of receiving more stories. If you’re afraid…

  • Here’s the Skinny

    I am writing. I have set a small goal for myself and with my lovely husband’s help, I plan on making that goal happen. There is a huge part of myself that I have not only ignored but I have also discouraged and I’m so tired of doing that. It’s time to make something happen.…

  • Michele (Quotation Mark) Crazy Nut! (Quotation Mark)

    When I was a kid, I really, really wanted friends. I wanted them to worship me with as much passion as I had with the idea of having them. I wanted them to want to be with me and buy me presents and I’d buy them presents. Some of you have seen this image before.…

  • I Know I Shouldn’t Know This Yet

    but My Morning Jacket’s latest CD is phenomenal. And guess who is going to see them in October. Yes, indeed, painting the Internet green with envy.

  • JetBlue, I Love You

    As most all of America already knows, my beloved JetBlue had an incident over Los Angeles last night. My understanding was that the landing gear would not retract after liftoff. Basically, the it was stuck sideways. I’ve mentioned it before. I hate flying. It’s my biggest, most irrational fear. When Jet Blue was born, I…

  • My Date with the Doctor. (Warning: Too Much Information Below.)

    I just got back from visiting my new (and much improved) primary care physician. Like most doctors, he asked me what he could do for me today. And that’s when I just let it rip. Not gas, mind you, information. Well, I don’t get to the doctor very often – aside from the gynecologist. I…

  • Because It’s Eating My Head

    The last two posts had references I wonder if anyone out there got. Did you? Did you get my references? Free Anti-Bush T-Shirt to anyone who guesses right. If you’re a supporter and you win an Anti-Bush T-shirt you can use them to wash your car. Hint: They are on the main page (i.e. not…

  • Covered Now By Three Names

    I wanna take a minute to mention that Weeds is the greatest show on non-television (i.e. Showtime). You see, both Toby Joe Boudreaux and I have the hots for Mary-Louis Parker. Years ago, Missy and I saw Mary-Louis Parker perform in Proof on Broadway and then I took Toby Joe to see Proof and Jennifer…

  • Underpants: Part Deux

    The whole no underwear/thong conversation held here on Friday made its way into my real life, too. On Sunday, the conversation resurfaced. A lot was discussed. And much to my delight the evening ended with Anna (aka Leggs Luther of Roller Derby fame) throwing me a thong out the sunroof of Gerry’s car. I kept…
