The merry month of May
So here’s a rarity. I’m going to try to write in here every night this month. Sort of like a (gulp) actual diary. I’m sure it will largely be boring and frequently short, but I know I will need to do some non technical writing to keep my brain clear. Having sold more books we [...]
What’s that saying about old dogs and new tricks?
Or, more appropriately for me – old cats? In my ongoing pursuit of supplemental income I’ve mentioned that I’ve been doing some content writing for a website that I run with my friend Eve. I know you’ve all checked it out at least once and clicked on an ad or two for me right? What? [...]
Dear Mildred
Isn’t that one of the coolest photos you’ve ever seen? Thought I’d send you this with best wishes for a fantabulous weekend. We, of course, are due again for rain on Sunday. Because it ONLY rains on weekends in San Diego. Seriously. It sucks. What also sucks is that I have to go to a [...]
Dear Shirley
The weekend did not go as planned. Mother Nature not only didn’t listen to my plea for calm weather, she essentially threw a righteous temper tantrum that effectively canceled the Super Seal Triathlon. No cheering for my friends. No pictures. No cowbell. Just lots and lots of cold cold wind and rain and even hail. Consequently [...]
Dear Christine
No, this isn’t a new name I came up with to address – it’s the name that TOO MANY DAMN PEOPLE use to address ME! Note to parents: I know you worry about naming your children & how you spell their names because you don’t want them to be teased and such in school – [...]
Dear Martha
I’m feeling a lack of inspiration…or..*motivation*…when it comes to the blog. I think I need to switch things up for a bit. A few of the sites that I follow pretty much use their blog as an online journal. They write in what feels like a stream of consciousness style and while I’ve thoroughly loved reading it [...]
So, that was 2011.
And so it begins to end today. Another year. 365 days. We are somehow compelled to reflect on what has come and gone – yes, a trap I am falling into right now It’s interesting how the entire human race seems to need to wrap up these calendar years with a little bow. You can’t [...]
Sometimes, you just gotta bitch
We interrupt your feel good, sparkly holiday decorations and sentimental posts for this message: Sometimes, we just gotta bitch! I know, you knew this already since I’ve posted the complaint box & spewed many an invective before. We already know I’m not all about farting rainbows and unicorns despite my blog title. Sometimes you just [...]
Has anyone seen my Christmas spirit?
I’ve determined (ok, perhaps my body determined) that I can no longer deny the existence of the cold that has been trying to take hold since last week. I am now officially snuffly & coughy & generally cloudy headed & feeling icky and I will most likely whine about these things for a few days [...]
File this under: Things Are Not Always What They Seem
About this time last week I was highly annoyed at three people who had not responded to emails. Case #1 – I had stuck my neck out to ask someone who owes me money to, you know, acknowledge that fact and get going paying me back. 72 hours had passed and…*crickets* Case #2 – I [...]
