Most of my days are spent thusly: I wake up and grab a cup of coffee, start rooting around the kitchen for breakfast, and then begin the ritual of taking out the carrying tray that I take up to my mother. Mornings are hard for her and I bring her food to her since it’s [...]
Not that kind of recycling. A different kind. This is a post that I started writing about four years ago. If you’re a reader who has been with me that long then this will be a familiar reading. If you’re new, welcome! So glad you could make it. The series of these posts was The [...]
One of my co-workers has a love of all things Hello Kitty which makes me automatically love her because if you like Hello Kitty then you automatically come into a relationship with 100 bonus points. If, however, you don’t like Hello Kitty then I have to question your ability to be the world’s only living [...]
This weekend I spent time with my sisters and parents in Chicago (a difficult feat, to say the least – my parents are divorced and one of my sisters isn’t speaking to my father) and it was the most wonderful family time. I’m too exhausted to write much. Here. Have pictures. In fact, have pictures [...]

Brought to you by the Damn This Is Hellish Weather, Can We Have Something Cheerful, Please Midwest? Society: Young @ Heart will be the best movie out this year. I can’t wait. I want to hang out with them and sing “I Wanna Be Sedated” by The Ramones. Try this link if that first one [...]
This won’t come as a surprise, but I was busy working on student schedules this weekend and failed to watch the Super Bowl game. So I just watched the commercials later on and the Bridgestone Tires commercial one asked the question: Ever get that urge to run over Richard Simmons? While yes, I do is [...]
After semester report cards came out I got more phone calls from parents than ever before. Most of them just used me as a liaison between them and their child’s teachers and I made connections for them. One of them, after seeing straight F’s on the report card that their child earned, wanted to know [...]
Trying to cheer me up from some recent downer benders I’ve been on, a friend reminded me that there is simplicity in life when reading a fortune cookie because everyone knows that pithy observations that contain general truths are the way to bring about an upper. Since I have been anxious to get some really [...]
There’s some weird stuff going on with my RSS feed so I changed the outlook to show two entries per page. Consider that my gift to you. Also? Are you here? Because here’s what I learned last night: when I came back to the blog (because stupid stuff burns my butt and I can’t possibly [...]
