Every morning around 6:15, before the sun has even considered rising and the owls are still out hunting, I take Suzanna for a walk around our neighborhood. I’m not a morning person, but I like these early morning walks. I like the dimly lit windows of my neighbors’ houses, and I like still being able … More I am an embarrassment to every science and math teacher I ever had
I managed to walk out of Bi-Lo this afternoon WITHOUT a pregnancy test. Miracle! However, I did walk out with one loaf of Pepperidge Farm 5 Cheese Garlic Bread. It will be a miracle if I don’t eat at least half of it all by myself, and I’m not counting on two miracles in one … More Miracle
Thanks to Shelli for the cool idea of an image survey. Play along if you haven’t already. It’s fun. Where I was born. Where I live now. My name. My grandmother’s name. My favorite food. My favorite drink. [One of] my favorite song(s). My favorite smell.
I told myself I was NOT going to talk about this. I promised myself. I swore it. But I can’t help it. I am a crazy woman. I should be following a truck with a huge sign on it declaring, “WARNING! WARNING! WOMAN WITH SPERM APPROACHING!! I had my fourth insemination on Sunday morning.

He concludes by saying, “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident.” “OH NO!” the President exclaims. “That’s terrible!” His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands. Finally, he looks up and asks…. “How many … More Real or imagined? You decide.
This afternoon I walked out of work into the most gorgeous weather ever generated by the Universe–pristine blue skies and warmish air with just a hint of fall coolness. There was a breeze, and on it was just a hint of that autumn smell…falling leaves and woodsmoke and rain. When I got home I took … More Good day
Let me start by saying, and this is mainly for the benefit of those who know me personally, that I am not going to complain about the size of my butt or my weight in this post because I know realistically that I really don’t have a problem in that area. No eye rolling or … More The K really IS special
I have moved my “second home office” to my bedroom. I have a desktop computer in my “other home office,” which is in the great room, and in computer years it is 475 years old. It does not have the most recent version of Internet Explorer. It doesn’t have PowerPoint. It has trouble handling more … More Dati casuali*
Our local community college just built a satellite campus on the road I travel to and from work every day. It’s quite impressive, and I’m hopeful that it will draw people from my nearby school community. While it always bothers me when large areas of forest and foliage are plowed under, I understand that some … More Irony
I don’t know about you guys, but I for one find it symbolic that Geena Davis’s new show “Commander-in-Chief,” on which she plays the Vice President-would-be-President, is premiering tonight, the very same night that my eggs, also known as Geena1, are making their way to Fertilization Central.
