You know how sometimes you're sitting there with...
the cursor blinking in the google search bar, and you can’t think of anything to look for, and you worry you might have reached the end of the internet?
Just me?
December 2010
It's probably not wise,
but I’m still thinking about making that tequila sunrise I planned for tonight.
New day rising, and all that.
Last NYE we bowed out of plans to stay home and...
and I’m thinking we’re going to do the same thing tonight. My stomach is hurting terribly again (yes, I’m going to call the doctor on Monday if this doesn’t go away), and the idea of a party that doesn’t start until nine and is a half hour away is suddenly very unappealing.
I’m turning into an old fart.
cwj asked: Wow. It really is a small world. I knew Jennifer. I haven't seen her since one time in college I ran into her on the street in Worcester as I was hobbling along on crutches after tearing up my knee. She's well, I hope?

10 things I learned in 2010
1. It doesn’t matter what productivity tools I load my life and electronic devices up with if I don’t have the habit chops to actually use the damn things.
2. I’ve had my doubts over the years – worried that I made a huge mistake moving Ty away from his father, but I know now beyond the shadow of a doubt that I’m definitely the right custodial parent.
3. I can handle some heavy shit...
Marley*, you're forgetting about the chocolate!
*I’m not allowed to call her Marls, because I didn’t understand about the chocolate.

So who would play you in the movie?
nolagrrlnyc:
I ended up in a conversation in the ladies’ room at a restaurant last night in which two young ladies were pretending to cast a movie and were picking who would play each of their friends in the movie.
From inside the stall one hollered out to the other to ask me who would play me in a movie. I said Sandra Bullock and they thought that was a good choice. The one then said she would...
Truthful even though it's not Tuesday
Usually as the year comes to a close I’m all “dear 20XX, don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya…” and so eager to get going on the new year.
Something big is shifting under the surface, and while I’m excited, I’m also terrified, because what if I’m wrong?
What if I’m staring down the short passage to 2012 at this time next...

As most of you probably know, Creative Geekery (the enterprise I run to help pay my rent) offers inexpensive websites and web-hosting packages. A large part of my client and customer base consists of profit organizations that need a basic website but don’t have a lot of money to spend.
The end of December means that I have an empty space to fill. Every year, I donate a website and a...
Ow. This stomach pain is painful
And the accompanying headache and joint pain can suck it.
Somebody come play with my 7yo so I can be miserable without interruption?

On the practice of eating feelings
ashamedtosay:
Feel your feelings.
Eat your dinner.
These acts should be separate.
When you mix them up, you just end up with a tummy ache and more feelings to eat.
This has been a message from the AshamedToSay Public Service Alert System.

I've gotten about 8" over the last 12 hours.

But, don’t be concerned. It’s still snowing.
That’s what she said.
Watching Where The Wild Things Are
And thinking I’ve had either too much, or not enough wine.
Think it’s time to pour another glass and find out for sure.
I'm thinking Trinilikesalt Is working on an epic...
And needs to front load the ibuprofen and water.
Also: I love syrup! Can I have some of that?!
"Smiling's my favorite!"
Elf & Toasted Head Cab Sav!
Toot. Sweet.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and a cosmo!
DONE!
30 minute whirlwind while sipping Pinot Noir and listening to Chris’ constant stream of dick jokes.
The last gift was left in the Kohl’s bag with a big bow stuck on it. Enough is enough.
Time to say goodnight… hope you all sleep tight, safe and warm with someone you love nearby or in your heart. I think you all are the bees knees.
and that’s not just my wicked wine buzz...
CLAUDIA!
I can’t find the photo. The one that says all the stuff I feel, so I’m going to stick with words.
Lady Jane, you are just a wonder. I am so grateful for the you-ness you share with all of us clowns on the internet. (I know, you’re a clown, too.) One of these ding-dong-days I’m going to get to meet you, too, but until then, I just want to say how much I appreciate you. Not...
Hot toddy!
had to counteract the vicious body chills I’ve got going on.
I did manage to finish the shopping, including groceries. Need to make one trip out to the post office tomorrow morning, and then it’s just a bit of baking/cooking, and cleaning up the house. Oh, and a tiny bit of wrapping.
Brandy, hot water, lemon, and honey will help me sleep tonight and hopefully I’ll be back on...
Gratitude 2.0
Fancy, soft toilet paper.
Gratitude anyway
I haven’t earned any money for more than a month now, but my Aunt Ginny sent me a Target gift card and a money order, so we get to have a really lovely Christmas for the kids and a nice bottle of wine with our brisket without worrying about paying the utilities next month. My mom made sure both kids got the one please-please-please thing on their Santa list, plus a few extra special little...

““Maybe you like Google Maps. Well, tough,” [Senator Al] Franken said on Saturday on the Senate floor. “If the F.C.C. passes this weak rule, Verizon will be able to cut off access to the Google Maps app on your phone and force you to use their own mapping program, Verizon Navigator, even if it is not as good. And even if they charge money, when Google Maps is free.””
