I had some pre-cut melon for breakfast this morning. Pre-cut produce from the grocery store offends my midwestern sensibilities, actually the whole idea of paying more for fruit just because someone wearing a store smock has cut it up for you and put it into a leaky bubble pack. And then I realized that if […]

On Sunday, I woke up fairly early and tried to be quiet to not wake up Jen, who was sleeping on the sofa, but figured that my shower would totally wake her up. No dice. My phone rang and I hurried to answer it, worried again that I’d wake her up with my cellular ring […]

My hair turned out very nice. The Aveda stylist gave me very caramely highlights and toned down some of the dark that was left over from the last color, so now the overall look is very similar to my natural hair color in about August. I think I’ve mentioned before that I was a blonde […]

At some point in the last week, I passed that magical point where I no longer have short hair and officially have ‘long’ hair. Personally, I’ve been paying attention, and I knew that it was finally getting longer. At least six people have independently said ‘Wow, Weet, your hair is getting really long!’ as though […]

While Esteban was in Las Vegas at his Big Computers and Networks and Geekfu Madness Plus Show Girls convention, things were pretty quiet here. I had plans for almost every night, so I hardly had a moment to sit alone and be freaked out by alien clowns in my backyard (which turned out to be […]

Ok, the story that I was chortling over in the last entry? It’s about to go live. I’m handing it in today. I’ve never done that before… gone from zero to workshop in less than five days. I’m freaking out about it. I keep looking back to my neatly stapled pack of 13 copies and […]

story! I finished my stupid story. Finished. It’s been done for about twelve hours, but I’ve been playing with it, trying to turn it into a story, with a beginning, a middle and an end. And it does. It has characters, it has a plot, and it has lines that make me happy, which isn’t […]

There are two seasons on Wisconsin roads: ice and road construction. Tonight, we were weaving our way through orange barrels and temporary graveled surfaces, past giant Tonka machinery and various scary implements of paving torture. I was describing how earlier in the week, the road had been closed, and there were a bunch of cranes […]

It’s been a quiet kind of Saturday. The kind of Saturdays that I remember as a kid in the summer, Saturdays that don’t mean anything really. I have decompressed quite a bit in the last two days. I now have deadline zen. I think the catalyst was an emergency half-vacation day yesterday and a trip […]
