Every New Year’s Eve, I get a little nostalgic for the year past. I used to write little summaries, but last year, I decided that no matter how much energy I devote to choosing the right words, I can never quite encapsulate it just right. So instead, like the child of the MTV generation that […]

Esteban is officially sick and has spent the last two nights in a codeine haze on the sofa, as he’s coughing so hard that he figured at least one of us should get some sleep and that way at least he can watch television in between naps. He accuses me of being glad that he’s […]

I don’t do memes but it’s Holidailies and I just can’t stand being below that damned line, so here are my answers to Sundry’s annual end of the year thingy. 1.What did you do in 2006 that you’d never done before?I did a lot of business travel this year. Probably the most of my life. […]

Well, now that that’s all done, I am so ready to start kicking some ass on projects. Last night, while I was working on some writing, Esteban came in and plopped down on the leather recliner in my office, which is his version of Tilly’s plaintive mews and prodding with a fur paw. Both need […]

We didn’t take a self-portrait this year, but here’s a picture of my father-in-law instead. The nibble fodder that I put out for Christmas morning. Orchids and holly. I threw that together myself! How Martha is that? A bubble light from Esteban’s childhood makes its first appearance on a Christmas tree in thirty years.

On Christmas morning, I woke up around 9 am. Esteban was still sacked out, since he had been up until 4 am playing his troll game and then talking on the phone with one of his WoW cohorts so I let him sleep in. I got dressed and started prepping the snacks for our impending […]

On Christmas Eve, Estrogen Happy Hour was doing its part to make Christmas bright. Man, I forget how little energy I have, between the cramping and the low grade anemia. I spent the better part of the morning trying to pull together wrapping materials and sitting on the chaise with a heating pad, moaning softly. […]

Tonight, we had Esteban’s paternal family gathering, which meant that I had to smile and talk to his uncle’s mistress Tequila and concentrate very hard to prevent myself from rolling my eyes at her. Because I do. Roll my eyes. A LOT. Esteban’s cousin is expecting a baby, the first pregnancy on that side of […]

It is raining here. On prom night. Ok, I don’t know where that came from. Wasn’t that a really awful song from the Grease soundtrack? I should haul out my LP and check. It’s not just raining, it’s fucking pouring outside. What happened to a white Christmas, people? This is the reason I live in […]

Ok, I have spoken out against the cigarette butt throwers and now I’m going to vent some more. Are you ready? People who do not get their pets spayed or neutered are fucking assholes. Yes, that’s right. Fucking assholes. You know, kittens are awesome and I LOVE puppies. I love animals in general and puppies […]
