In which I post a picture of the dress I made last weekend.
It’s made of rayon knit. I had already drawn the pattern for the 4-panel skirt, so for this project I copied a favorite long-sleeved t-shirt for the bodice, and made up the cowl – which is big enough to be a hood or [...]
This morning I made spicy potato curry for my bento. Since there was enough, I packed a bento for my bro as well and he said “nom nom nom” and eated it right up. I’m like the Easter Bunny of bento or something!
I have resolved to go buy appropriate dog foods this Sunday – boring old IAMS or Nutro kibbles, and, in a massive nod toward compromise, some canned food as well. I will bring these items home and put them in the pantry, and I will then throw the crap G’ma stocks right out into the garbage. The sheer wastefulness will, I hope, get her attention.
In which I might start buying fabric and sewing it into clothing! Or… or not.
My clothes suck. They’re old, or weird and out of context, or cheesy because I bought them from Walmart. Add to this the fact that my body stopped being 25 fifteen years ago and is now oddly shaped, and the whole [...]

In which I decide to honor my extroverted side’s need to be totally fucking antisocial.
Last week I had pretty rotten PMS. Emotionally I wasn’t all that much bitchier than usual, but I was as waterlogged as a long-dead corpse in a stagnant Midwestern pond and I decided to spend my weekend at home alone, where [...]
In which I’m a domestic goddess AND a rock star IN THE SAME DAY!
Cleaning
Not too terribly long ago I was standing in the shower and saw something on the wall. I reached up above the edge of the shower shell and smeared it with my finger, and it turned out to be dust. I left [...]
In which I discuss domestic issues.
In the past couple of weeks I’ve had a realization. An epiphany, if you will.
When Brett was working full-time and I was working part-time, I suffered from a great deal of guilt. I never felt like the house was clean enough, or like I was really working quite hard enough [...]
In which I migrate even more toward my ideal sleep schedule.
I’m a night person. I like to stay up late; I like to sleep in. I could happily go months without seeing the hours between dawn and eleven in the morning.
Lately it’s been getting worse and worse. For instance, after getting home from the gig [...]
In which I have a suspicion.
Rehearsal last night rocked. I love this band. We ate an entire box of chocolates during the dinner break. (“We” being everyone but the bass player who didn’t have any chocolate at all.) Please note we’ll be playing the ballroom at the Best Western with Bambu on NYE and you [...]
And I hate being cold.
I think Nature’s just showing off with this 6-degrees-outside crap. We all know there’s really no reason to be that far below freezing. (Actually, it’s 23 degrees out right now. But it was 6 when I drove home from band practice Thursday night.)
I’m sitting here at my desk in my office [...]
In which… ah, fuck it.
The entire point of yesterday’s post was to get Truck to comment. He did not. Bitch.
Today: I got up, cleaned house, meditated, napped, ate leftover enchiladas, and cleaned more house. I’ve done more laundry than you can shake a stick at. I got rid of the cat pee smell in the [...]
