Last night I mathed. Not only did I math, but I scienced. And in fact, the science was the math! What the actual hell?? And what's wrong with that?? When I was in school (and walked uphill in the snow both ways, right?), I don’t think I learned this stuff in either classroom - math … Continue reading Look Ma, I Smart!
So here we are, Trix and I, dropping our sparse belongings at my friend’s home for the week. These friends are two of my favorite people in the world, and being here is bound to be, as always, a ton of stupid fun. Adulting? Overrated. Seriously. Being back here is a perfect sendoff to my … Continue reading A Sweetums, a Fancy-Free & Two Pussies
It’s amazing just how much shit one can amass in less than two years. Coming in with just a mattress, a closetful of clothes and few items I had valued enough to stow away during my last venture into minimalism, I’m going out with masses of trash bags and boxes filled with stuff I’ve deemed … Continue reading Time to Make the Donuts
I’ve been divorced for eleven years, and save a “thing” here and there - one or two more meaningful than others, I’ve been happily single all the while. Over the years, particularly due to my high aerobic job, my days outside of work have found me as an introverted extrovert - blithely composing a dossier … Continue reading A Cat, a Kate, a Cooper
It was one of those days when I found myself out of just about everything. I was squeezing the toothpaste tube best I could to get that last sticky mouthful swiped across my chompers, the shampoo bottle had been flatulent for days, farting loudly as I attempted to get enough for just one more hair … Continue reading The Universe Brought Me Q-tips
It’s been a few days since I’ve done the stupid and told the world about my upcoming hippy trip. No turning back after outing myself in my supposed fearlessness. Brave? Courageous? More like crazy and irresponsible. And while I appreciate the positive sentiments I’ve received from everyone, the truth is there are moments when my … Continue reading Fakin’ It
It’s been sometime since I’ve thrown caution to the wind and abandoned reason- even responsibility. Some may believe I did just that when I took a month away from work last year to travel the East Coast of Australia. And maybe they’re right. At a job that offers no vacation pay, and bills that still … Continue reading Trippin’ with Trixie
59. An unassuming number; Not anything that represents much more than the accumulated value of smaller increments. It's the number of times the minute and second hands on a clock are aligned within an hour. It's how many earth days there are to one on Mercury. It's the colloquial name given to the Queensboro Bridge … Continue reading 59. Hello Lamppost
So, turns out all of us have a story- and everyone's is different. Joy, pain, love, hurt, excitement, drama, success, struggle - collectively these things are not unique to a small fraction of the population, but rather have touched most of us in one form or another along the tightrope of life. These are pieces of … Continue reading Brain Games
And so it is Spring, and the light hangs around a bit longer, flowers begin pushing their way through the dirt, and the blue sky is making a show of the gray. Spring is the shucking off of the dark, the warming of the chill, and the blooming of the lifeless. It allows color into a dreary existence … Continue reading The Call
