I have been fat all my life. Scratch that, I was a smallish baby – 6lbs, 9oz – but as far back as Kindergarten, I was the chubby one. It evolved as the years passed; I hit a point around 7th grade in which I had hit my (sadly)…

Inside the Mind of Josie: Feminism
When I was a wee lass, during those heady high school days with Shannon, Catherine, Betsy, and M’Lynda as my closest clique of friends, I often identified as a feminist. I knew I wasn’t a Republican like them (and really, I think Shannon is the only conservative amongst us now, though admittedly…
Baby Cuckoo
That is sort of a disingenuous title. Because I am cuckoo for a baby. Can’t wait to have one! YAY babies! This post is not (exactly) about my biological clock issues. No. This is about the Baby Cuckoo. My Baby Cuckoo. Okay, okay. Technically, he belongs…
Life, Interrupted
We’ve been in Middletown, PA for over two years. Come December, we’ll have been here twenty-seven months. We lived in Ellensburg for twenty-seven months. We lived in Newport for eleven months, also in Mechanicsburg for eleven months, and in New Cumberland (together) for just shy of three years. Why…
Hiatus
Well, there was a recent post here about the Future of the Blog. Specifically, what to do with all my Serpent Skull snippets, and the Rhiallis snippets. As expected, life intervened with a solution and Rhiallis is taking a holiday. For reasons I’ll discuss in another…

Some of you may remember my first foray into the world of VIVID hair. Last September (9/30/13) I got a wild idea stuck in my head. I wanted pink hair. PINK. Bright pink – even neon. I wanted something crazy like I had never done before. I bought some…
The Not-So-Wee Hours
OMG! Oh my serious FREAKING God! This post is being written on 8/31 – so, everything is still fresh. I know it won’t publish for a few days, but that’s okay. My excitement will not have dimmed by then… probably. I can’t imagine it will. …
Like Nails on a Chalkboard
I don’t like to use the word hate. But dang it, there are some songs I just can’t deal with. When they come up on the radio or Pandora or TV/movies – I absolutely 100% turn the channel or skip to the next song. Do you have those sorts…
Belated Worry
By the time you read this, we’ll (probably) know what the cause was, what the diagnosis is, what the treatment will be, and how it’ll affect our lives going forward. By the time you read this, the anxiety and stress will (probably) be forgotten as we deal with each…
