I’m hungry. I’m craving cherries. Ripe, round and firm on my tongue, soft where my teeth puncture. Sweet. Staining my lips bloody red. I am eating them right now, too quickly for them to last, but with a voracity that speaks of other cravings. Because also… I’m craving sex. I am a pillow queen of [...]
Goodbye, I Hardly Knew You…
I have been lucky enough to be relatively untouched by death in my life. (Well, correction, in the adult life I have good conscious memory of rather than the childhood I subconsciously choose to keep blurry. ) My great-grandmother passed away after years of dementia – and it was a blessing. My paternal grandparents passed [...]
But I’m only standing sort of close to the train tracks…
Sometimes not taking care of yourself is the same thing as self-harm. I know, I know, this seems like an obvious statement. But when things are bad and you’re a control freak and everything feels beyond your control and you start controlling things like whether or not you take your medication or avoid drinking water [...]

It’s more that I’ve reached that place where I’m bumping up against my intendeds again (see The Intendeds). Its been a stressful interpersonal week, where [...]
I Shake My Fist at You, Taco Tease!
Why, why, why does Taco John’s (or any other chain restaurant that starts with, ends with, or includes ‘Taco’, for that matter) always squirt the sour cream in one big lump in the middle of every single burrito?? Why must 4/5 of every burrito be sour cream-less, and two giant bites be nothing but creamy [...]
Absence makes the mind grow fuzzier
I’ve been back home a little over 24 hours. N and I went to Austin to visit some good friends; we were there from last Wednesday through yesterday morning. It was a big trip, full of lots of mommy/daughter time, and time spent out of doors enjoying the 70 degree Texas weather in contrast to [...]
