  • The Prodigal iPod

    The other day, I lost Marla (my iPod) in the most impossible way.   I was synching my iPod to put a new audiobook that I’d just downloaded onto her, then put Marla in my purse and rushed ((being that it took so long to synch the book onto my iPod, I was running late)) out […]

  • Because I Know You Are All *Dying* To Know What I Wore To Class Today

    So, I totally wrote this on Thursday night and was completely sure that I posted it. Apparently not.  Anyway, better late than never, right? Today was the first day of class. And for the first time in many, many years, I’m not teaching a brand new class! ((which just so happens to be #37 on […]

  • This is why I’m not allowed to buy any more black shirts

    In the downsizing for his big move to Toronto, Kalev gave me his dresser ((I realize I haven’t blogged about Kalev moving to T.O. It’s too sad to blog about, imho. In short, he’s gone there for grad school and I’m sure he’ll have a blast and make tonnes of new friends, but it leaves […]

  • I Am A Cyborg, Just Like My Car

    I wrote this last night, but it appears that my computer messed up and didn’t post it.  So I’m posting it now. I Am A Cyborg, Just Like My Car or IUD, Yeah You Know Me. So, fair warning: if you aren’t interested in reading about my uterus, you may as well stop reading right […]

  • #36 – My Earliest Book Memory

    So, my guest posters have been *much* better than I have with the whole “Stuff Books Taught Me” theme.  And they’ve written these beautiful, touching, insightful masterpieces.  And me, not so much.  But they have inspired me to talk about the first book I remember: Donkey Daniel in Bethlehem. It’s a book about the Christian […]

  • #30 – These Are A Few of My Favourite Tweets

    Taking the screenshot of my tweet for my last posting reminded me that I totally need to share with you my favourite tweets! And the favouriting of my own tweets isn’t quite as narcissistic as it looks.  I mostly do it to make particular tweets of mine easier to find when I want to go […]

  • Oh, The Joy Of Working In The Health Care Industry

    Occupational health decided that today would be a good day to stab me repeatedly.  Four times, to be precise Now, I *know* that I had the MMR back in high school, because a girl in my class came down with measles and we all had to be vaccinated.  But since I couldn’t provide proof (I […]

  • Looking Forward, Looking Back

    Today is my last day of work at my current job.  It seems like just days ago that I gave my notice, but it’s actually been a month!  Where did the time go?  I have a full day ahead of me – first to the office to wrap up a few last things (such as […]

  • I Can Has Sympathy?

    I hate being sick. Hate, hate, hate. I spent the entire day yesterday, and most of today, in bed.  My fever went as high as 39.3 degrees and, despite the fact that I was so very, very hot, I felt so very, very cold.  Any time I got out of bed (primarily to get a […]

  • Hello Random People From Montara, CA

    So, I logged into my blog just now, with no idea in particular about what to blog about today, hoping that staring at the blank screen would inspire me. Or that I’d discover 7/8ths of a blog posting already written which I’d forgotten about1. And, in an effort to further procrastinate on writing, I decided […]
