There Are Other Kinds Of Cool

I get an email every morning from Sam Davidson at Change Is Cool. I often think of unsubscribing, but there are many times where his email, which usually hits my inbox at around 5:15am, is the thing that lets me know I’ve missed another night of sleep. In other words, it’s become a part of [...]

I Am The One You Want

At first glance it may not seem so. I’m not stunningly beautiful–although I’ve been known to turn a head or two in admiration. My breasts are large, even though they’re fighting a war with gravity. My hair is liberally gray and I refuse to colour it (in an odd nod to my Mennonite beliefs coupled [...]

In The Ongoing Saga Of Odd Names

Today’s entrant in my own personal contest of Younique Names is the defendant on Judge David Young. Her name is Toprecious. I’ve long been convinced that there is a set of dice floating around out there. Instead of dots or numbers, the faces of these dice are phonemes. You simply roll them to come up [...]

Whence Cometh The Bunnies?

Last night the rabbits invaded my dreams, and I have no idea why. At one point in my dream world I looked down at the book in my hands and saw it was Bunnicula. Then I looked over at the bookshelves in the library where I was hanging out. All the books on the shelves [...]

Am I Becoming One Of Those People?

I got an email today from someone nicely checking in on me. In that email she brought up a point that rubbed me the wrong way because it touches so pointedly on the sore spot I’ve been trying to avoid. I have always been suspicious of the folks who are anti-church. Not the atheists and [...]

Wherein I (At Last) Reveal My Most Crochety Peeve

It used to bug me a little bit because you didn’t see it very often (unlike people saying “PIN number” and “ATM Machine”). But now that there’s a whole store dedicated to it I have broken and vented outloud to my husband. We were on our way to the Dr. in Franklin this morning. It’s [...]

Feel Good Friday

I know this is not supposedly about feeling good. But as the man says “choke those bad days down to nothing”. I always listen to this song when I’m having a week of feeling misunderstood, sick or disenchanted with life. (This last week was all three, so I spared you out there in my blogience.) [...]

Best Thing I’ve Read On The Internet In, Oh, FOREVER

In the comments at SaysUncle But I am going on record: I will be up early on January 21st and if the Magic Rainbows are late delivering my gold-farting Unicorn there will be consequences. Promises have been made. I laughed all the way from upstairs to my desk. Heck. I’m still laughing.

If This Little Tidbit Doesn’t Give You A Heart-Attack, You Aren’t Paying Attention

Now that the election is over, I’m back to talking about politics. I wasn’t going to have a mud-wrestling fight on behalf of a bunch of candidates I couldn’t even stand to mention. So I waited until the dust settled so I could see which of the many wrong-headed dudes I’d be arguing with in [...]
