Saturday it’s a Saturday!!
Ten awesome things that happened today: 1) Drank a lot of coffee. 2) Got this at a garage sale and have already remembered how to play “Faithfully” and am working on “Royals” and will master the entire Tori Amos catalog by September.

Eating Like a Toddler, or How Not to Diet
I don’t care what anyone says. I was done with trying to lose weight because it seemed like the harder I kept trying, the worse it got and the more I totally did NOT lose weight.

The Alien Transformation is Almost Complete
Here’s a scene from last night. This happened. Husband: “What are you doing?” Me, while jogging around the dining room table: “I’m a little freaked out by myself right now. I think this is like running.” Him: “Yes, what you are doing right there is jogging.” Me: “Yeah, I don’t know what the fuck it is but I think I kind of like it … Continue reading The Alien Transformation is Almost Complete

Either way, … Continue reading Misadventures in Unexpected Happiness, vol. 2: Who Am I
Sanity Check: Are We Just Doing Whatever Now?
So last night, a really disturbing scenario unfolded as I tried to enjoy delicious Indian food at a fine local establishment. While already seated with my friend, a couple walked into the restaurant with a small dog. The small dog had a large tag on, and it had the appearance of a luggage tag.

Misadventures in Unexpected Happiness, vol. 1
So as I was driving home this evening after finally figuring out how the Spotify and the Bluetooth and my car stereo and my Galaxy s4 can all work harmoniously together once more, I didn’t recognize one of my 3900 starred songs that started playing. I said aloud to myself, is it Siouxsie? The Cure? Bauhaus? It took me an eternal 45 seconds to remember … Continue reading Misadventures in Unexpected Happiness, vol. 1
