Guess who had a bath? My favorite little source of allergens got a good scrubdown today. Normally we try to bathe her once a month, but she hasn’t been bathed since before the wedding (something like 2.5 to 3 months) and she was dander-rific. She’s a component of the factors that sent me to the […]

My life is so weird. This isn’t a problem, mind you. I wouldn’t want it any other way. I might get bored. I owe my friends James & Dalia big time since they dogsat Ruby the whole time we were gone on our cross country trip. So, among the things I offered to do in […]

This morning I made a lovely batch of apple-cinnamon muffins, but I totally forgot to put in the sugar. They taste like cinnamonny bread with bits of apple in it. New house rule: no baking before coffee.

A not so amusing side-note I failed to mention the last time I logged on (by the way, I’m in Kingman, AZ right now…Hi!) is that I lost my driver’s license very, very early on in the trip…like possibly on the airplane heading for CA. Anyway, for the past two-ish weeks, I have had no […]

A while back, I realised that I no longer owned any mascara, and I wanted some. I knew that MAC cosmetics doesn’t do animal testing and that they had a shop that was within reasonable cycling distance and is situated smack in the midst of the Plaza, some of Kansas City’s most supreme people-watchin’ turf. […]

I need to get a different iron. This one, the temperature setting is too easy to change…if you bump it it can end up getting turned WAY up…then this can happen: This was going to be my wedding dress. It may yet, if I can get up the heart to re-cut that back bodice section, […]

It should come as no surprise to precisely nobody that I’m a big, dumb klutz whose unintentionally idiotic maneuvers occasionally land her in the soup. Oh, boy, today I surpassed myself. It’s possible that many months of not breakin’ shit had left me in some sort of karmic hole. I hope I’m not due for […]

This picture, from Jeff Perry, is ample evidence that it wouldn’t kill me to wear some dang clothes that were something akin to my actual size. If I wanted to look lumpy, dumpy, frumpy, and generally awful, I would continue to dress this way in public. Despite all photographic evidence to the contrary (and there’s […]

I’ve been useless today. I’m just tooo het up about Kanza to be any good to anybody. I think i have freaked out about 5 times an hour. I got some work done and all, but I am very thankful I was able to get off early as I was getting way too buzzy and […]

During a group ride, pointing out potholes is considered polite Bunny-hopping them might be considered a bit ostentatious * Hollerin’ “Yee-HAW” if you get good air when you hop is probably a tad uncouth. ** * Newly-developed skill – working hard to perfect it **I haven’t “Yee-HAW-ed” yet, but you’d better believe the thought has […]
