There is a grocery store being built up the street from our house. It’s intended to serve an entire community of condominiums, ostensibly intended for the over 55 set, that is also being planned. The little, self-contained neighborhood, I hear, is also supposed to include, among other amenities, office space for physicians, a [...]

I’m swiping this meme from Meno. I have been in the doldrums for a while now - low self esteem and all that - so I thought that forcing myself to sit down and come up with ten nice things about myself might be a useful exercise. Here’s hoping I’m right, because I’m [...]

Why is it that we can point out the beauty in others, but are so blind to the same in ourselves?
I can rattle on, almost endlessly, about the virtues of the people I love. I think my husband practically radiates “wonderful”; my best friends have admirable qualities that almost defy my ability to describe them; [...]

…my ass!
It’s the 19th of August and it’s 54 degrees outside. I mean, I’m not getting ready to break out the parkas and ice picks, but I’m genuinely chilly; I’ve got a sweatshirt on and the end of my nose is cold.
You know that feeling that you’re getting old? When kids’ fashions confound [...]

Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you that I spend a lot of my time and energy trying to figure out how to be the best Chili I can be. I was put in this existence for a reason, I reckon, and it would be wasteful of me to go through this [...]

Mr. Chili, Bowyer, Mr. and Mrs. Falcon and I went to see Jeff Dunham last night. We had a blast (I really, really needed to laugh) and, on the way home, we were talking about a running joke that Bowyer and I have had going for damned near as long as we’ve known each [...]

So, here’s the deal - those of the people I love who don’t have blogs (WeedWoman, Dudley, Bowyer, this means you), I am offering up my space if you feel you need to vent, ask a question, or generally put some of your words out into the Universe. Just email me your text [...]
Posted in Little Bits of Nothingness, my oh-so-exciting life, ten things Tuesday on August 14, 2007 | 6 Comments »
Ten things that are happening this week:
1. I’m giving my grammar students a mulligan. Not only did they totally bomb the quiz I gave them last Thursday, but I designed the thing so poorly that grading it was a nightmare. The new test I’ve written has 60 questions that are easily computable [...]

Moms know. They know when their kids aren’t “right,” even when they can’t articulate exactly what about them is wrong. There’s a sense that we get - and I don’t mean to exclude dads here, either, because I know that dads know, too - but there’s a sense that we get that all is not [...]
