There was time when I was fully committed to blogging. I’ve never been able to get that back. At first, it was because I went back to school, and I got busy. Then it was just pure stress, as I tried to finish my last semester while caring for my mother, who was dying of […]
Yes, I sort of fell off the blogging wagon for a bit. Life got chaotic for awhile… work, writing, pain issues, and then an unexpected move on short notice with about five days to complete the move. The latter was super fun, I say sarcastically. It’s been a week and a half since we officially […]
Every now and then, I come across something that serves me the realest realness. Here are some of my latest greatest… (I love rhyming!) “You can be a good person with a kind spirit and still tell people to go fuck themselves when needed.” -my friend Dru Truth. Being a good person with a kind […]
E aloha kekahi i kekahi. (Love one another.) Hawaiian proverb Weekend in the Lady Lair I buried myself in nothing but relaxation this weekend, feeling like poo and needing a bit of a mental health break. I spent the weekend lounging in the Lady Lair, watching all eight Harry Potter movies and reading non-school books. Considering […]
Yesterday my eldest went from ink virgin to tatted up. While I don’t see him becoming as inked and steeled as I am and will be, I foresee more in his future!

A present for me,… I bought a new dress for myself yesterday, which I LOVE. It is a pink and borwn paisley kimono-style dress from Mlle Gabrielle, a designer for, um,… bigger girls above size anorexic 4. You can see it HERE. I am now just hoping that it gets here in time for Selina’s […]
My kindergarten graduate! I am so glad there is waterproof mascara, because I SO needed it for graduation! It wasn’t just a kindergarten ceremony this year; they had a “moving on” ceremony for the 5th graders because they are all headed to the Middle School next year. So the littles were walked down the aisle […]
Yesterday, I posted an ad on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, but the 140 character limit imposed by Twitter and Ping.fm (the service I use for simultaneous posting) severely limited my ad. So I thought I would post an expanded advertisement here, too, just in case a future cabana boy happens by my blog. Because we […]
If there was ever a need for coffee,… It would be this morning! My friend and neighbor Crystal got a new job and is going to be working night shifts so they have her beginning training at the god-awful hour of 0500. Normally her husband doesn’t leave for post until about 0545 but this morning […]
