honey(s), do!
I made a massive “honey-do” list for my visiting sister and brother-in-law so they can toil while I sit here and blog. They only got in Monday morning and already here are their achievements, as of Tuesday afternoon: Went to Lowes, my least-favorite place on earth Fixed my stupid, ever-running toilet Fixed the other, sometimes-running…

I got invited to a Seder. I hinted broadly for an invite, boasting loudly that I make really awesome Passover desserts — which are tricky, as one cannot use leavening nor dairy. I just made “Decadent Fudge Brownies” and a “Strawberry Brown Betty” and they suck. I suck. Boasting sucks.

This is my sister on the beach here in 2009 when she and her husband came to visit. They’re coming again later today and I cannot wait. Here’s the weather where they are now: It’s a singular joy to be around them, when they are sprung from the east coast. They literally sniff the air…

I’m typing this at 5:30am on Sunday morning, having just gotten in from a date. Yup. Apparently, there’s a clear winner from the mini man marathon from earlier this week. I’m about to crash mightily so this blog post will have to do for today’s entry. Ta ta.

Me, yesterday afternoon As I’ve hinted, it’s been a hell of a week — at least socially. I got very little done otherwise. Oh, except for iced beverages and restaurant dining for every meal and clothes shopping and maybe some smooching. Apparently I’m taking a spring break. Girl Gone Wild! Now I’m running on the…

I’m sure you’ve been waiting with bated breath about the followup to my blog post about leg cramps and dehydration and electrolytes. Right? Hey, where are you going? I did not try Electro-Mix sports water powder as I thought I would. I crunched some numbers and found that they were pricey little packets. I found…

So I went on three dates in four days. I really, really want to tell you all about them, but all of the menfolk involved know my full name and (presumably) how to use the internet, so, um, hi menfolk, if you’re reading this! I will be as discreet as my genetic makeup can allow.…

There’s a young woman that appears in my yoga class from time to time. She looks like an American Brigitte Bardot. A sun-kissed, lithe, Southern Californian Brigitte Bardot. Good heavens. What is wrong with her? Why does she insist on looking like that? She should probably come over here and sit on my lap and…

Another subject suggestion from WordPress Postaday 2011: Pick something that annoys you and redesign how it works. The annoyance. Easy. The lunacy of trying to gather together a list of people on Facebook. The whole Group and Page (and now Place) thing started off screwy, and evolved into a monstrously mutated process. I rue the…

I had a spectacular weekend from start to finish. On Saturday I reconnected with Tom, a friend from my high school days, whom I had not seen nor talked to since I was 16 and he was 18. I mean, how do you even start to catch up on 30+ years? Chronologically, by subject matter,…
