“Alright, let’s get going. We still have to go to the store.” I gathered up my purse and my camera. The baby girl stared up at me from her swing and I bent down to tickle her behind her ears one more time and pressed her tiny, round feet in between my forefingers and thumbs. We [...] If you are a cashier at a coffee shop/cafe and you suddenly resume your conversation about meatloaf with a co-worker who is invisible to customers behind a stack of boxes, some confusion may occur. You see, the frazzled secretary waiting to pay for the somewhat dodgy sushi lunch will assume that your question, “So, you [...] “Everyone’s so politically correct these days.” “Political correctness has gone too far.” “Political correctness violates the First Amendment.” Please stop saying statements like these and find a better way to articulate yourself because you sound really, really ignorant. Politically correct is one of those terms that makes me cringe, not because of what it represents, but for how it’s [...] This is me, pretty much all the time now: I feel like all I do is work and then come home and fall asleep on the couch. In between all of that, I mentally toil with some stuff, but nothing that I feel comfortable sharing here. Maybe I could do like the blog equivalent of Mad [...] A lot of what gets me down is my inability to control things, to not be able to grasp them and fix them the way that I know that I can.

Who else do you know that watches shit like this and starts thinking Deep Thoughts about sexuality, gender, and religion?

This is where I should hang out. I have a few more hours of February 1 and it’s a short month so I think I [...] I spent most of yesterday on the couch, tooling around on the internet and watching TV, which is what you’re supposed to do when you’re sick. I think the giddiness that I experience at the prospect of being able to partake in such activities without a smidgen of guilt is what jump-starts the recovery process. I [...] Way back in 2000, just a few weeks after the husband became the boyfriend, I came down with a really disgusting stomach virus. It was a total disaster because as poorly as I handle vomitous situations now, I was way worse back then. I wouldn’t calm down about what was happening and kept trying to [...] Unfortunately, I knew exactly who I was going to write about for this one as soon as I saw it. I met Stacey in 1993 when she started at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School. She was a level and a grade ahead of me. We didn’t really get to know each other until that following summer which [...]  |
