I am fine with my body shape, really I am. While every lump and bump and weird thing it does goes against what the media tells me is appropriate and attractive in a woman, I like it. It’s mine, it (mostly) does what I tell it to do, and every lump and bump and scar tells a [...]

I have now had this headache for five days now and I’m about tired of it. My system is also tired of all the ibuprofen, acetaminophen and Goody’s Headache Powders I’ve been ingesting to get through the day. It’s worse this morning. I’ve been awake now for a half hour, and I still can’t look outside; the brightness [...]

And on top of everything else, I broke a tooth. Guess who’s going for an emergency appointment tomorrow? FML.

There are days when I feel pretty damn good about my life, the universe and everything. And if not good, then at least moderately ok with things like body image, relationships, aging, work, family, etc. This has not been one of those days. On days like this, I ask myself questions like, am I really [...]

I feel about a hundred years old today. No, really. I’m not exaggerating. Well, maybe. But just a little. Yesterday, Keith and I went to help Taylor and Tawny landscape their backyard. And this morning, I feel every wheelbarrow of gravel shoveled and every patio stone lifted. Except for the throbbing of my now yellow [...]

Last night, while eating pizza, I broke a tooth. No, it was not a diamond pizza, as Bloody P suggested on Twitter. Just a run-of-the-mill frozen deep dish style Hawaiian pizza. I am not that fond of Hawaiian pizza (I pick off all pineapple), but Keith is. If I get ice cream in the flavours [...]

I have iGoogle set up as my homepage, and have included a widget for random quotes. I am frequently amazed by the personal timeliness of the quotations. For example, today’s quote is: Never tell anyone that you’re writing a book, going on a diet, exercising, taking a course, or quitting smoking. They’ll encourage you to [...]

I had some thoughts about 08 that I keep meaning to blog, and hopes for 09. I’ve tried to write it down and have deleted three posts so far as they are utter crap. I am going to make it as succinct as possible: 2008: motorcycling to Alaska and the Yukon: Good. No, great. Life [...]

Last night I had my first real nightmare since I was a kid. I’ve had scary dreams, surreal and wierd wonders that haunt me all day. I awake from them puzzled, wondering what oddments lie in my subconcious self. They’re bizarre, yes, but I can usually pass them off as eating dairy products too close [...]

Wii: I have a confession to make. I have never, in my life, owned a video game console. Until now, my TV has only been connected to the usual paraphenalia; VHS, DVD, and some freaking incredible high end audio equipment. Yes, there is a side benefit to shacking up with an audio tech. But today [...]
