So, yesterday I went to the Tour of Kansas City race and, as promised, raced in the Crap Girls class. It was pretty fun. God good and sweaty and felt the ol' lactic-acid burn. Finished second-to-last, AFAIK. Harsh jokingly interrogated me, saying “Jeez, Michelle, how'd ya let her get behind ya?!” to which I replied, […]

Just a couple of videos I took of my mom's dog being chipper and playful when my parents were visiting. Mom's dog Tasha just cracks me up…she's such a funny-looking little mutt, with am endearingly upbeat temperment. She's mostly pretty mellow, lazy even, but she'll perk up for a few intense play sessions per day, […]

Wanna sponsor me? I've taken it upon myself to ride in the MS150 this year, because I like to ride, and might as well do it for a good cause. Here's the rub. I'm completely shit at fundraising. I'm going to go down to the Plaza in my full 1890s regalia next weekend (too busy […]

Hi! I was Madame Destructo yesterday. It was pretty darn special. The day started out uneventfully. I was up early to take Griswald to the vet for his annual vaccinations. While it was highly unpleasant for the both of us, what with him howling like he was being disemboweled, it was not in any way […]

PMS has its grips on me at the moment. For me, it manifests in three ways: 1. feeling all wimpy, 2. feeling kind of grumpy, and 3. wanting to eat cheetos. I wonder if you can tell already where this is going? At a break at work today, I decided to submit to my Cheeto […]

1. I just totally, accidentally matched my underpants and my shirt for today. I just noticed this when I went into the bathroom to put on a little perfume. Both are white with a pink floral design. The underwear have little rosebuds and hot pink piping around the legs and waist and the shirt has […]

I didn't always used to like to write. I used to find writing a terrible chore in elementary school. In fact, most of the “language arts” were a pain in my butt. Phonics, grammar, spelling, penmanship, and composition all bored me stupid. The only element of the whole subject of “English” for which I had […]

Why is it, when you'd like to make a good impression regarding something, everything that can possibly foul it up goes wrong? You invite a new friend over to your house, and your cat barfs in her handbag, or you start a new job, and find out that you'd sat on gum at the bus […]

15 years ago, I was a 13-year-old (almost 14-year-old) kid who’d been saving up birthday money, babysitting money, and any other cash that came my way because I wanted a new bicycle, by golly. I’d been alternating between riding an outgrown stingray-knockoff (20-inch wheels) and an oversized Schwinn Continental, neither of which was a satisfactory […]
