current(ly)… friday 5: this week in the news 1. Has the death of a famous person (not connected to you personally) ever made you cry? I felt it when Katharine Hepburn died. I love her as an actress, and I’ve always admired her committment to being true to herself. In […]
current(ly)… 1. If everyone carried personal cards (instead of business cards), what would you put on the line just beneath your name, where job titles usually go? Calling cards… I still have some from my great-grandmothers from when they were commonplace. What would I put… Maybe “Join me for coffee […]
bah, humbug My cave troll existence has continued. I freakin’ love this time of year, but I haven’t been able to truly enjoy it. I love the decorations, the movies, the music, the baking, the holiday spirit. I love all of it. But this nonstop caucophony of crap (the headache […]
mental meanderings i’m a cave troll. At least that’s how I’m living my life these days. My brain continues to bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble, so I’ve been living in darkness as much as possible. Lit only by the lights of the holiday. I even cook dinner in the light […]

1. How do you feel about gambling? As an overall feeling, it can be dangerous, the thrill and the excitement enticing. On a personal level, I don’t really feel any type of way. I’ve been to Reno and Vegas, been to the casinos. I’m that boring person that goes on […]
the not so fabulous friday The first part of this post’s title is really more of a “fake it until you make it” kind of thing. I’m not feeling so fabulous after a long night of interrupted sleep. Three out of five days of this work week, I’ve been awake […]
the mayhem I don’t think there’s enough coffee in the world to meet my needs today. I don’t think an IV delivering the most caffeine-jacked version directly into my veins would help. That is what happens when you get less than an hour of sleep in a night. In truth, […]
the shenanigans Yesterday was Man Child #3’s 22nd birthday, and we celebrated by going to get tattoos together. Sometimes I get tattoo envy when I see people with cohesive sleeves of beautiful ink. I have twelve, as of yesterday, and there is absolutely no cohesiveness. But with a single exception, […]
