A few tasty tidbits re: the town I live in! Tiny Batavia, Iowa! {cue applause} I don’t believe our household participated in the 2000 census; we didn’t move in until November. But still, such a tiny little hamlet. I love it all the more. ——–

These are all too short to be their own blog entries: 1. I cut my own hair in the bathroom Monday afternoon. 2. I’m secretly in love with Bucket. 3. Brett sprained his ankle last Saturday. 4. I went to the demo derby at the fairgrounds last Sunday. 5. I made peanut butter cupcakes with […]

So. My vacation. I don’t know how to write about it. There was the surface stuff, i.e., We went out for sushi. And the non-personal stuff, i.e., I only slept 7.5 hours during the first three days. But so much of it was internal, interior. One doesn’t just go see her satguru and come back […]

I just read this review of the remake of The Stepford Wives and just wanted to say this: I am so tired of pissed off bitches. I am certainly against crimes being committed against women!
