Sunday Morning Coming Down

There’s the exceedingly superstitious, introspective, Ooga-booga side of me that I don’t let out that often. It’s in there… I don’t necessarily hide it but I certainly don’t flaunt it for everyone to see. I only discuss it with a few people because I typically get funny looks and my views on it aren’t taken [...]

Just a Few (Totally Unrelated) Things

Every few months I add a “new” letter to my handwriting. If I see your hand writing and I like the way you make your ‘a’, I’ll steal it. I’ll practice writing for hours a day… slow and steady, focusing on making that letter ‘a’ just like yours. Eventually I’ll start writing faster until it’s [...]

There’s A Hole In The Bucket: Dental Responsiblity and The Inherent Need For Travel

Last April I had a temporary filling put in one of my molars. It’s a tooth that’s been giving me trouble for years (it’s had 3 fillings in it already … prior to the one in question) and this was a last resort before either pulling the tooth or a root canal. This temporary filling [...]

Happy Guts and Furry Trees

LL and I finally (partially) realized our dream today: we went hiking together. Not only was this the first time that I was on “her turf”, but it was also the first time that I met the Man Child and, therefore, my first time seeing her as LL The Mom (well aren’t WE just full [...]

I Hear The Train A Comin

Yesterday Lady Love and I had a good mini-talk about Shit We’re Working On. She wants to be more accepting of herself in a way that she doesn’t feel bad about things she shouldn’t (for example, she falls in love almost as easily as I do… while it’s a pain in the ass, we shouldn’t– [...]

So I Guess You’re Wondering…

It was requested that we wait on this until Ryan knew the scoop. Pretty reasonable… I guess… but once he had written his poem, sang his song, and peed in front of me, Pam, and Tony, we got Druggy McAnesthesiason’s permission to update away. There’s good news and bad news… The Good News is that the [...]

Rectal Needles: I Didn’t Sign Up For This Either

Well…. Here we are… Sitting. Waiting. Rumor has it we’ll be here for at least 7 hours… that’s a long time to wait… But then again, an hour is a long time to wait. We laughed because Ryan bought Jess flowers and cherry cordial kisses this morning. “Are these your favorite or Arwen’s favorites?” “They’re [...]

Dear Ryan,

This whole Spinal Tumor thing of yours is really cramping my style… I mean… could you not have picked a better time to do this? I have school finals to study for. I went on a REALLY good date on Saturday night but since SOMEONE has to get a tumor removed from the INSIDE of [...]

HEY! THERE’S SOME HITCHHIKERS! LET’S PICKEM UP!

Once upon a time, before I was nothing more than not even a glimmer in my parents’ eyes, they hitchhiked from Portland to Pocatello. Maybe it was from San Diego to Portland to Pocatello. And maybe it was just my dad. I don’t exactly remember how the story goes and there’s not much TO the [...]

Revelation 3:31-2011

I just returned from a tiny little round about town with my dad on his motorcycle and I came to several conclusions: Up until this point, I was rather adamant about my “dislike” of Boise. My excuses are that it’s flat and brown. No biggie, I just prefer a little curve to my environment… Maybe [...]
