Once there was a terribly miserable woman. She spent her days dashing about, never stopping to take a breath, and she exuded frantic, angry energy. What could make someone like this? Was her head not screwed on right? Was it, perhaps, that her shoes were too tight? I think most likely her heart was 8 [...]

The making of things has been rampant around here lately. It may be that after 2 years in this house we are finally settling in and can focus on being creative, or it may just be some unknown forces converging to provide artistic inspiration. In any event, creating is like other habits. the more you [...]

Some of you wrinkly old ladies have asked me about my experience with ordering Retin-A from India. I am happy to report that it is going swimmingly. My face has not fallen off, I can tell that my complexion has evened out a smidge and my crinkly eye lines are slightly smoother. I was sort [...]

Did you guys have a great Presidents Day? I hope you got everything you asked for. We had a load of fun not doing anything presidential, but we did eat ice cream and go to the orthodontist and walk to the park. Don’t I sound like the perfect mom? Yes. It’s true, I am. And [...]

I’m an Introverted Hermit Who Lives Under a Rock

Craftwhack — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:59:20 +0000

It’s not that I’m a fragile cupcake, I’ve just finally wholeheartedly accepted the fact that I’m an introvert. It’s taken me 4 decades of pushing against my personality to finally just give in and enjoy the quiet. I crave being at home, and I loathe too much social interaction. I’m not horribly socially awkward; which [...]

I know lots of creative people, and this makes me happy. Wretchedly happy. I want to share them with you all so you can praise them and love them as much as I do. My first creative being (Technically, Christian was my first Creative Being, but I didn’t call him that, so he was more [...]

The Ins and Outs of a Wednesday Morning

This is what went down around here this morning: First, two Mexican wrestlers jumped Spiderman from behind and beat the crap out of him. This was shocking to me, since Spiderman is always portrayed as rather invincible. But then, out of nowhere appeared a guy who drives a boat and hunts alligators, and he teamed [...]

Nemesis

I will tell you of my arch enemy. Her name is Myrna and she works at the deli counter. I don’t know if Myrna is actually her name, because they don’t wear name tags behind the deli counter, but I have assigned that moniker based on her wretchedness. Myrna hovers behind the giant meat slicers, [...]
