Bringing an oldie back to the front page today, to celebrate the fortieth – I mean, twenty-nineth – birthday of my platonic soulmate, Timothy “Happy Potato” Fields. This is as accurate and relevant today as it was when I wrote it several years back and I love you even…
Life
Elliana Nichole
June 1, 2016. I became an Auntie again. The third time (on my side of the family, anyway). The first girl. Elliana Nichole. She’s incredible. I can’t wait to meet her. But that isn’t why my blog was late. …
10 Things I Learned… Daily Rituals
This post is as much a reminder to me as a suggestion to anyone reading it. You see, I am trying mightily to get myself ‘right’ with the world. Striving to be the person I want to be, not the person circumstance has allowed me to end up. Which…
The Default
Tonight I’m watching “The Station Manager” starring pre-GoT Peter Dinklage, Patricia Clarkson, and Bobby Canavale. It is (so far – not over yet) very good; compelling performances of interesting and, yes, quirky characters. I especially enjoy Peter Dinklage’s “Fin”. He shows so much depth – as you’d expect having…
Social Burn-out
I am not a social butterfly. I am not my Daddy’s Girl. (Although it is almost his birthday and I am thinking of him a lot lately… thus the header picture) Well, to be fair, I think he was a weird kind of extroverted hermit –…
The New Hotness
The new hotness. I’m typing this blog on a brand, spanking new laptop. It really isn’t anything fancy, but it is awesome and I already quite adore her. I think her name will be High Majestrix Beatrice, mostest bad of all asses. Or not. …
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Chaaaanges ♪♫♪♫
How about a depressing thought to kick-start my birthday? If I live to be 70 (by no means guaranteed), I am now more than half-way through my life. I turn 36 today. By now, I figured I’d have a couple kids, a husband, a handful of…
Besties
I am a lucky girl. I have my life-long platonic soulmate, Timothy, back home in Washington. I have my life-partner and husband, Mark, every day at my side. And I have my bestie. Abbie and I met in December of…
Adulting
So. Adulting. English is such a special language. I once read it described as the type of language that, rather than ‘borrowing’ from other tongues the way most do, corners the other world languages alone in dark allies and beats them up to appropriate bits of parlance. …
30 Days of D&D (…in two posts)
Yeah, I found another meme on Tumblr and yeah, it is designed to be a 30 Day Challenge about me and my experience with D&D/Pathfinder. But I’m going to treat is like a quick 30 question meme and just race through it for fun and for nostalgia’s sake. Two posts. 15 topics…
