Posted on January 31, 2013 by S.

Botox update

Posted on January 29, 2013 by S.

All kidding about the Botox aside, I think it’s working. I’m typing that softly because I don’t want to jinx it. My forehead feels like when you do that dead man’s fingers thing with your friend. It’s my forehead, but … Continue reading →

Last Friday at Lynn and Pete’s for dinner, we were talking about the shots I’d had earlier that week and Anya asked what kind of shots. I said, “Botox.” Her eyes got very big and she looked concerned. She looked … Continue reading →

Lisa

Posted on January 25, 2013 by S.

Today would have been my cousin Lisa’s birthday. In her honor I am dancing around the kitchen, baking a cake. In her honor I’m singing tunelessly at the top of my lungs. In her honor, I’m wearing my rattiest jeans … Continue reading →

Gun control

Posted on January 19, 2013 by S.

I don’t really want to talk about this, but it appears I’m going to have to or I’m just going to bust. It is shockingly easy to buy a gun in Georgia. You have to go through the NICS (National … Continue reading →

New Year’s Resolutions

Posted on January 15, 2013 by S.

I am not a big fan of the New Year’s resolution. I think it sets me up early on for disappointment in myself because I tend to let my big plans (No more dessert! Save $1000 dollars! Cut down all … Continue reading →

Money talks

Posted on January 3, 2013 by S.

That money talks, I’ll not deny, I heard it once, it said “goodbye.” Money is not a big deal to me, insofar as I don’t measure my worth or anyone else’s by how much of it they have, and I … Continue reading →

Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future

Posted on January 2, 2013 by S.

I don’t care for mediums and middles, never have, so I guess in that regard 2012 was a winner. I went to three funerals, and there were three more I should have gone to. I went to a wedding. One … Continue reading →
