Happy End Of Summer, Folks!Yes, I took some Time Off from The Blog. Personally, I think The Blog is Dead. Not this one, specifically. I just mean Blogs In General. I think Facebook and Twitter Killed The Blog, with Lethal Doses of Ease Of Posting Ideas. Still, I miss being Creative and Storytelling. So I am returning to The Scene Of The Crime.This summer has been A Rough One, I am not going to

Hey. So, how 'bout That Michael Jackson? On Thursday, I came home from Work and discovered that not only had Farrah Fawcett Died, but so had Michael Jackson. I mean What Were The Chances that Two of The Hugest Icons of my childhood would kick the bucket on the Same Freaking Day?

Today I was playing The Where Game with a group of my Third Graders. This is one of those Basic Theatre Games that teaches a student How To Show An Audience Where One Is without words, simply by really believing in One’s Imagined Activities and Actions. Basically, I give the class A Location and then one by one, each eight year old goes on up and adds a character and activity to our silent story.

Oh. Hey. Hi, There.Well, like I said, I have been Pretty Busy these days. My Big Work Project – the one I have been working on since December -- has its World Premiere in two weeks on The School Stage. It is going to be Really Good and Super Cute, I think. Of course, I may be slightly biased, being The Big Work Project’s Director. Also, I have decided that I Should Go To Graduate School next year

As most of you know, I have been Exercising every single day since the beginning of the year. Twice a week, I take A Dance Class. And the rest of the time, I Walk. I usually travel between three and five miles when I Walk and I tell myself I don’t have to go Very Fast. My Walk is just an hour or so alone with Me.One of the Benefits of Walking So Much is that I get out of the house and See Things.

I usually hate doing These Things and am only doing it because of Peer Pressure which is the same excuse I use when I eat too many peanuts at a baseball game.I used to smoke a pack and a half a day to two packs a day for eight years. I quit Cold Turkey in 1996. And then for some reason, I started up again in 2003. But then I quit again, Cold Turkey a year later. I Won't Ever Smoke Again.I won't

This week I Lost One Pound. While you may think this is Okay, I Do Not. Why? Because this was merely The Extra Pound I gained last week for Good Luck. Which brings My Total Weight Loss thus far to:ZERO POUNDS.Yes, in Four Weeks I have Lost Nothing! Nada! ZILCH!

When Princess Diana died, I was Really Upset. I LOOVED Princess Diana. Part of is the timing of her Appearance On The Scene. I was eleven when The Royal Wedding took place, and I remember watching The Whole Thing on Television with my dad before the camp bus picked me up. Eleven-Year-Old Girls dream of Growing Up and marrying A Prince and here was that myth come to life on my TV set! But, as I

During my Dating Years, I was A Big Fan of that book, He's Just Not That Into You. Scoff if you like, but the book made Complete Sense and it amazes me that friends would Mock It. In case you are living under a rock or just plain In Denial, He's Just Not That Into You was a self-help book from a few years back, written by a couple of the Sex and The City scribes. The premise is that If A Man Does

Today, I went for a nice, long walk along the Venice Beach Promenade. In case you know nothing about Venice Beach, California, or its Walk Along The Pacific Ocean, I shall fill you in: It is full of Freaks. No, really. It is Freak City. Ironically, there is a Freak Show along the walk that you can pay $10 to enter. But I don’t know Why Anyone Would Pay To See Freaks when Free Freaks Are Plentiful

You want to know Why?Because I am Mad At Myself for doing The Exact Same Stupid Thing! In the past year, I have gained Twenty-Six Pounds. Twenty-Six!! Two. Six. Twenty -- and then Six More.

Late on Saturday night, Totally Awesome Husband and I went for a walk in Our Neighborhood. We had been cooped up all day and we needed to get out of The House. And I wanted Tea. Not that we don’t have Tea at Home. We Do. I just wanted Out Of The House Tea. I find all things Taste Better when Devoured Out Of The House. Tea, for one. Wine tastes real good Out Of The House.

Last week, I became An Aunt!That’s right….Totally Awesome Husband’s Sister finally had her baby. She had A Boy. We got to see it right after it was born because she had A C-Section and gave us 24 Hours Notice. I felt bad for The Baby because I don’t think it received Any Notice At All. It came out Screaming and wouldn’t Stop. It probably would have been Nice to have at least posted An Eviction

Friday, I frantically finished knitting A Froggy Hat and Froggy Slippers for Totally Awesome Husband’s Sister’s Baby Shower, which was on Saturday. I thought this was going to take, like 30 Minutes. But, instead it seemed to take me 30 Hours, and I was working on it until The Wee Hours. Of course, I started it over a month ago and just put it all off until The Last Minute. There is nothing like A

Last week, Totally Awesome Husband and I had a Date Night. He has been working at A New Writing Job since October. It’s Great and All. Except, he now has a 45 Minute Commute to and from work. Not only that, but his hours are Long. Couple that with His Needing To Go To Bed Really Early and it means that some nights we only to see each other for An Hour or Two.
