I suppose a lot of hater mail will magically appear in my in-box as a result of this post, but that’s never stopped me before. I’m noticing the misuse of compound words to mean something the word itself doesn’t. Anyway, … Continue reading
Strong Female Lead
(This is long, and I don’t care.) Today is Sunday, which means philisophical or otherwise conversation with my baby girl, Midge. She’ll be 23 in another month, but she’ll always be my baby. Anyway, she’s extremely artistic and loves to … Continue reading

Letting Go
Alright, so I goofed up. I blogged in the wrong frame of mind, and now I feel dumb. All it takes to get over myself, though, is people. People tend to make me see the true ass I am even … Continue reading

All Kinds of Wonderment
Today is just chock full ‘o surprises. While rummaging through one of the un-unpacked storage boxes from my last move, I came across this nearly empty so I keep diluting the stuff bottle of hair tonic that is way ages … Continue reading

Sheep to Slaughter
Last week I read, liked, and then even commented on Ari Laurel’s post titled Who Run the [Dystopian] World? [White] Girls dys·to·pi·a [dis-toh-pee-uh] noun – a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding. She’s talking about the … Continue reading
