‘Everybody gets shot sometime’

I'm late getting this posted (of course), but smart and sassy Vanessa included my shopping tale on her new blog, The Aisle Files. It is a story of yarn and violence -- go read it!

Happy Father’s Day, Mom

This Sunday is Father's Day. Last week, my father finished paying child support. My parents divorced 25 years ago. Eric (we're not close; I haven't talked to him in at least 10 years) was supposed to help support me, my brother and my sister financially. I haven't read the divorce decree ...

Swaying side to side — literally

I'm not a big music video fan. They rarely seem to go with the song ... or make sense. Case in point, earlier today I watched Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" video (I still think he just has a stutter.) (Yes, I think Lady Gaga is a drag queen.) and thought it ...

‘Be true to yourself’

Ellen DeGeneres delivered the 2009 commencement address at Tulane University. This year's class is the "Katrina class" -- the students displaced by Hurricane Katrina four years ago. DeGeneres also appeared during Tulane's 2006 commencement address.

My grandmother died tonight.

My family is strange -- my mother's the oldest of three, but has been the outcast for awhile. Mostly because my parents divorced about 20 years ago. That was not acceptable to my grandparents or my mother's siblings, especially my aunt. (My relationship with my father is strange, too. I haven't talked to him since kicking him out of the procession at my sister's wedding (she didn't want him there) in 2005. And even then, I didn't talk to him. Or at the reception aft… Continue

How do you know when it's time to hit restart?

Every once in awhile I get stuck. Usually after friends or family members (OK, friends) share exciting news -- promotions, raises, new blogs, new projects, new jobs, that sort of thing -- that I am jealous of. Ugh. Yeah, jealous.

Usually I can yell "Get over yourself!" and get rid of crazy notions. Or I can make a plan and solve whatever the problem is. Now, though, it would be a bigger leap. It'd require hitting re-start, which is pretty scary. I haven't been able to figure out the next step -… Continue
