A singer/performer in my youth, I was a voice major at Indiana University, but became a lawyer when I moved to Arizona after I graduated...[Read More]
Yesterday, after a nice, civilized ladies’ lunch, I was driving home and suddenly could tell something was wrong. I was barely able to pull off to a side street before upchucking my Caesar salad all over a well-manicured grassy area just off of Cactus Road.
It must have been a touch of food poisoning. The misery [...]
I feel the need for speed.
I’m SO frustrated with falling asleep at 9:30 every night.
I don’t WANT to fall asleep at 9:30. It’s the last thing I want. Max usually goes to sleep around 9, and I desperately want that adult time. Either to do unglamorous tasks like take the garbage out or do the [...]
Max is home sick today. :( Doesn’t seem too bad, though, but he did have a fever and was up much of the night. I’ve been up since 4!
At work now but I’ll probably head home this afternoon to help spell Conrad.
I’m royally pissed because I just FINALLY got a chance to write a new [...]
Last night we got together with a couple friends before seeing “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” at Hale. Strangely written show. Hale always does a good job though.
But yeah. One of our friends had been in the hospital with a health problem but is doing better now, so we met up with them.
It was really [...]
Last night, we unexpectedly found out that our friends from Salt Lake were in town. We met up with them for dinner and had no sitter, so we brought Max.
Aaaagahgahagaghahhh!
We chose a teppanyaki restaurant that was fairly casual. From the start it was rough. Max did NOT want to be there. He was weepy and [...]
Today has not been a marvelous day and here are all the reasons why.
First of all, I did do one thing today that was great. I finally got up at 5:15, made my way over to Squaw Peak, climbed it, and went to work. It was wonderful. I love Piestewa Peak (Squaw Peak’s new name. [...]
I truly think that the most dangerous state of mind I can be in is boredom. And oh crap, that’s where I am.
God, I miss being interesting. I’m absolutely dying of boredom. What can I do to be interesting? I’m a reflection of my life and my life is B-O-R-I-N-G. How can anyone so dull [...]
I feel tired and lousy today, for a variety of reasons, so my wording of this particular blog entry is going to be a bit half-assed and scattershot. Sorry.
All the ways the movie (not necessarily the book) Julie and Julia is similar to the story of my book.
1) Julie is a late 20-early 30 something [...]
One of the Beatles says it in The Yellow Submarine: “Nothing ever ‘appens to me.”
A couple weeks ago the dentist informed me I’m a tooth-clencher. I think maybe it’s because of the sheer, excruciating, agonizing, anxiety-inducing boredom that is life.
God, just sitting, following the routine, waiting for that big change, that payoff, that moment of [...]
For it is my favorite of all the cheap reality shows. I LOVE it, salivate over it, and wish I could go into a coma at the end of each episode, awakening only when the next episode starts!
I can’t believe DeAnna is going to show her face! Ha. I hate to gloat, but her breaking [...]
