Yeesh. Was up so late making my Prehistoric Lasagna of Charity, and then out for a run at 5:30, that I made the fatal mistake of lying down, “just for a minute.” I must have hit snooze 19 times. I finally realized while rationalizing getting dressed, putting on makeup and driving to work in […]

It’s 10:34 and I’m making lasagna. From scratch, because I’m too poor to go out and buy anything ready-made. Effing poverty, and my effing big mouth have gotten me into trouble ONCE AGAIN! My friend Angi, who did a lot of running with me this past summer during our marathon training…well her husband fell off […]

So I’ve tried actually taking a photo of the ring, who I have named, “Mine.” (that was for you, Al)
But the office digital camera sucks ass, so I’m just posting a ring that looks like it.
Voila! BEHOLD!
MINE!

Shown in actual size, of course.

It’s January 29th. I have not sent 10 Christmas cards, 9 thank you notes, my aunt and uncle’s Christmas presents, nor any thank you notes yet for the nice people offering to throw engagement parties. This does not bode well for the coming onslaught of thank you notes I must slave over for wedding and […]

I like sake hotI like sake coldI like sake in the pot…
Just had the most delicious sake at Basil. Lots and lots of it. And basil rolls and hot and sour shrimp soup with rice, which is not on South Beach. But neither was the cheesecake I ate for lunch. The brownie I had for […]

So i’ve lifted weights three times in the past week, and the arm wattles don’t appear any smaller. Apparently I could still give Batman a run for his money. What gives? By now I expect to have high water booty, Jennifer Garner arms and Esther Cañadas’ cheekbones. I want answers!
I had a grand run through […]

Does anyone have a personal mantra? Mine is, “There’s no crying in baseball…or at work.” I had to repeat that to myself many times today at the office, since my mother is DRIVING ME OUT OF MY MIND. She emailed me 27 times at work last week about wedding crap. I counted. She calls me […]

…then I’m going to hell.
How can there be a ROACH in my kitchen in JANUARY, people? It was one of those tiny nasty ones that are almost more shocking than the tennis shoe sized ones we get around these parts. There it was, strolling around my kitchen table brazen as a ten cent whore.
“WHERE IN […]

I have found it! THE DRESS! Oh, it’s so pretty. I don’t know if I can wait til April when it gets here. And by “here,” I mean Augusta, GA. Mom and I had planned a weekend of dress hunting in Augusta (where my sister bought hers) and Atlanta. And I had psyched myself up […]

I can always tell when I have assigments that need doing, because all my laundry is done, and my apartment is clean.
