Well that was fun...not
I’ve had my iPhone4 for 7 months. Today I couldn’t make a call or take a call. People could hear my ring and hear me, but I couldn’t hear the ring or hear them. I Googled the problem and discover that this is in fact a common hardware malfunction that will require replacement.
I go to the Apple store and every possible option is tried, but still no go. They then send me to the...

I’m in love with this new tool from Real Simple. You just pick a main ingredient (from veggies, beef/pork, pasta/rice/grains/cheese, fish/shellfish, or a surprise), pick a type of dish (5 ingredients or less, soups/salads, no-cook, breakfast for dinner,…

The cat is swatting the dog in the face while he’s sleeping. Now Booger is crying and looking at me to save him. I’m trying to save him, and get Ozzy away. Not working out.
Beer’s ok but wine is better.

Over morning coffee
Becky: When Ozzy dies, can we stuff him?
Me: NO!
Becky: Does the fur stay on a stuffed animal?
Me: Do I look like a taxidermist to you?!?!?!
Becky: He'd make a really good centerpiece.
Me: .....
Happy is
waking up in the middle of the night and remembering that I have the day off.
I think it’s funny that there are still people who think that if you’re from Maine you were brought up without any indoor plumbing. Now it’s true that both my grandparents had outhouses hidden in their garage/barn, but that’s besides the point. Right? Right.

On being a friend
And by friend, I mean Friends of Quakers. You can’t actually be a Quaker unless you’re born in to it. So anyway, when the kids were young, we were “Friends” for about 7 years. Quakers are big into non violence; I actually still like a lot about the Quaker way. I could wax all philosophical about it but basically I realized that I would defend my family in a heartbeat. If...

My mind travels in circles, thinks in pictures, and feels colors. Everyday all day. When I”m stressed, I can’t separate the jumble in my head to make words. All I can do is blankly stare. Hours later, I’m able to think of the right thing to say, but it’s too late. I used to get so upset about this and beat myself up. Now, I just let it go. I know my worth.
HBO series LUCK
Ugh, listening to Sigur Ros while they put the horse down.

I had a dream two nights ago. I found myself in an Indiana Jones environment; opium den, outdoor market, multiple floors of slum housing type of thing. I found this little pig and I picked it up and it peed blue all over me. As soon as this happened, people started to freak and rush at me. I ran through apartments, up and down floors and I finally found a place to hide the little pig. The problem...
Watching Black Swan again on HBO. This is one effed up movie.
