And So I'm Having a Wonderful Time. But I'd rather be whistling in the dark). Friday, May 8, 2015. Mother's Day is a lovely holiday. I am happy to have the honor of celebrating Mom for all she has done. But it's also a fraught holiday for:. Children of all ages who have lost a mother. Mothers who have lost a child. Children and mothers who don't get along. Women who didn't have kids but wanted them. Women who didn't have kids, didn't want them, but feel like they somehow failed at adulthood*.

And So I'm Having a Wonderful Time. But I'd rather be whistling in the dark). Thursday, April 23, 2015. So, we had a big departmental meeting this week - two and a half days of togetherness. I spent several weeks dreading it, and when all is said and done, I had a lovely time. Although, I should share one of the pictures of me that surfaced after it was all over. I'm asking some sort of insightful question, but doesn't it look like I could just burst into "What I Did For Love"? French Lesson Number One.

And So I'm Having a Wonderful Time...: I'm tough, dammit.

And So I'm Having a Wonderful Time. But I'd rather be whistling in the dark). Monday, May 18, 2015. I'm tough, dammit. I'll start this by admitting - yes, I am cranky. So a fair number of people I know and know of have been spending their weekend paying big money for people to torture them. It's called Tough Mudder, and it's an endurance-y, extreme way to punish yourself in the name of fitness and adventure. People actually pay money to do this. I'm constantly in new cities, meeting new people, driving n...

And So I'm Having a Wonderful Time. But I'd rather be whistling in the dark). Wednesday, July 30, 2014. First things first - we went rafting over the weekend. It was awesome and fun, and I got this incredible souvenir:. Yes, you can see London and France in addition to my killer bruise. It doesn't hurt.much. Anyway, now I'm in Tulsa. My trip started with a whimper - I got an interesting car at Hertz:. It has XM Radio, though - so I'm getting my Show Tunes on. And of course, the best thing about this trip:.

And So I'm Having a Wonderful Time. But I'd rather be whistling in the dark). Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Now, were I a better mother/photographer, this post would contain lots of high quality pictures. But it's hard to photograph a mostly black dog with your smart phone. Today, we're going to talk about Piper. Specifically, all the tiny little things about her that make me happy. We'll start with her nose. She has a lot of what they call "furnishings" - eyebrows, whiskers. Sunday, February 22, 2015.

And So I'm Having a Wonderful Time. But I'd rather be whistling in the dark). Friday, November 28, 2014. Looking for the pony. Once upon a time, there were two brothers who were night and day. Worried that the boys had developed extreme personalities - one was a total pessimist, the other a total optimist - their parents took them to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist asked, baffled. "Don't you want to play with any of the toys? Yes," the little boy sobbed, "but if I did I'd only break them.". In all my ye...

And So I'm Having a Wonderful Time. But I'd rather be whistling in the dark). Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Homes and Gardens and Shit. When I'm on the road, I try to catch up on the garbage TV that I don't generally spend time on at home. Ok, I admit, I love shit like Say Yes to the Dress, What Not To Wear, and pretty much everything on HGTV. That said, I think HGTV is completely filled with entitled assholes. I'm nearly 40. I don't think I have a strong stance on chandeliers. I think I like them? Finally...

And So I'm Having a Wonderful Time. But I'd rather be whistling in the dark). Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Bomb and blue streaks. Sometimes, I have days where what I want to do is get in my car after a long day of work and yell:. All the way home. Why are people bound and determined to piss off other people, and why is that somehow my fault, even if I had nothing to do with it? When will I be loved? And by that, I mean fiscally. How am I expected to deal with people trying to mess with my head? A pause t...
