Imposter

No matter how hard I try, nor how careful I am, sewing is continually a losing battle for me.
I managed to put together two more yoga mat bags – one for me with the dragonfly satin, and one for a colleague from the English department at Local U. who also takes my yoga classes.
Blair’s cat [...]

F-F-F-F-F-Friday

A “Fucking Frantic, Ferrying Friends, Floral Friday.”
We had the roof replaced a few months ago, and now it’s leaking.  A lot.  Like, Mr. Chili drilled holes in the ceiling and put a bucket under it.  We’ve got icicles where we never did before, and it’s baaad around here.  We’re waiting for the contractor to show [...]

Interview

Kwizgiver is doing the interview meme, and I asked to play along.
The deal is that she gets to ask me five questions that I answer on my blog (though the number of questions is really pretty arbitrary – I’m not promising anything if you play along with me – you might get five questions, you [...]

627

627.  That’s how many closings have been reported to the news site I use to find out whether the Chili family needs to get going on snowy mornings.  I’m feeling like, lately, it would be less work for them to list what’s still open.
Everyone gets to stay home today.  Local U. and Tiny Community College [...]

Ten Things Tuesday

Ten Random Things.  I’m still feeling a bit scattered – I’m blaming the head cold and the approaching snowstorm – so this is what I’ve got.

Probably…

… my last inauguration-related post.  I know I’m wearing some of you out (Hi, Falcon!  Hi, Alan!), but I made Auntie go through all the trouble of putting the arrow on this picture for me (thanks, Honey!) and it would be ungracious of me not to use it.

Happy Monday, Everyone!!

To Whom it May Concern

Don’t kid yourself into thinking that this is about me, because it never was.  I understand that, right now, at least, you are incapable of seeing things any other way, and that you understand this whole situation in terms of what you think *I* am.  My dearest wish for you is that, someday, you’ll be [...]

Parallels in Literature

I’m hearing an awful lot of cynicism from some people who are more than a little incredulous about the esteem in which some of us hold our new president.

While I understand the sentiment for those who are wandering around with unrealistic expectations of what President Obama can actually do – I’ll admit to there [...]

TTT and FFF

I realized, in that space between sleeping and wakefulness this morning, that I never posted a Ten Things Tuesday this week.  Honestly, even if I’d been able to compose one (which I wasn’t), posting it would have been difficult.  See item #3 for the reason.  Anyway, this list includes things that have happened since Tuesday, [...]
