Wasn't I just here? Geez.

I'm off my feed. Which is ridiculous, because shouldn't humans simply eat when they're hungry with a focus on balanced nutrition? Seems that's not enough for some of us.

I've said it before - I should weight 98 pounds because of the bird-like eating spells I experience. I've been so run-down of late; yesterday it was to the point of bad parenting. I let Clara Jane watch TV while I half-dozed on the couch, and then I let her play video games while I hal… Continue

Wow. I'm off to another stellar start on NaBloPoMo. It's 11:49 and I'm sliding so close to the wire I'm in danger of getting clotheslined. What can I say? Wednesday is knit night, which means I don't come home until Sbucks closes.

We’ve been in our Prettytown for nearly five months. I know, unbelievable. I’ve still yet to have a single misgiving about making this move, and I still love it. Although of late I’ve been having urges
to burn down the house. Mind you, it’s not the house’s fault. We’ve
just hit that point where we’ve lived here long enough to realize that
the places where we put all of our stuff? All wrong. I’ve spent the
past two days cleaning like a banshee programmed to clean instead of
scream. I’ve also b
