Over the past 2 years I have lived in Cincinnati, I have gone through 3 different cameras. And today, I have absolutely nothing to show for it. Waiting until my first job to make decent money, I bought a fabulous camera that I brought with me everywhere. It was stolen on the eve of my […]

Bring Me Champagne, or Don’t
Last night, I tackled the mail, trying to sort it all – the most annoying domestic task in the free world. After discarding folded up directions, receipts used as wrappers for used gum, and Bed, Bath, and BEYOND coupons the size of my thighs, I sat down on the couch and watched Adonis wash the […]
Be a Good Girl
Do you ever wonder why Google is a billion dollar dream come true? Now, I say this with no malice – I love Google and all the innovative, wonderous ways it brings info to your fingertips. But, for every search you do on google, the clicked-on site gives .02 cents to Google. That’s a lot […]
Well I’ll Be Darn
Look! I’m computer savvy. That, or I have been itching to update my bloggy for a while now and finally set aside a few bum-expanding hours to reconstruct a few things. As I move forward in writing – yes, choosing a pen name – and advancing the look of my bloggy, I hope you enjoy […]

The spine-tingling verbiage can be enough to drive a sane person crazy. I once sat and made a list of the […]
Wedding and Football Season
You’d think with September that the wedding season would be over. It’s not. That’s unfortuante for football goers. Adonis and I are still scheduled for 3 more weddings in the fall, after attending 6 this summer and saying no to 4 additional affairs. Unfortunately, the only things I now look forward to are observing how […]
Afterward
It’s a monsoon out there. I’m rocking the matching outfit today at work – calf length skirt and coordinating 3/4 sleeve top. Ditching the umbrella, I grab my I-thought-this-was-waterproof Adidas windbreaker. It’s not. Today, as I tell my therapist how great things are in my life – full of meaningful work, organic foods – I […]
Today
With sorrow, remembering.

They finally opened the doorbut by thenmy voice was already gone,my sanity, too.But I had a pen,and a blank wall.And I wrote my own escape.All over the wall, repeatingone word over and over,hope. hope. hope. -anonymous
