Day 8, Wednesday: A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all. The word ‘advice’ kind of makes my skin crawl. I know, I know… we all give it, we occasionally ask for it, we sometimes find it helpful. We sometimes find it darn near life-changing. But I hear the word, and I think …

Inside my Head
A few days ago, I saw one of those Facebook memes that said something to the effect of, “Men, if you want to know what it feels like to be in the mind of a woman, just imagine a browser with 2587 tabs open. All the time.” It made me laugh because 1) I am …

Teganisms
“Wouldn’t it be gross if we all washed our bodies in toilet water?” “Can I read the dog a bed night story?” “Sophie (our dog) can talk! She just said, “Can I have some meatloaf?”” “Can your laugh box ever run out of laughs?” “Her boobs are much bigger than yours.” “If you call me …

Cats Vs Dogs
We have two extra dogs in our house right now, so I have dogs on my mind. It’s been a few years since since we’ve had a cat, and while I miss her to this day… I have to admit that this video is pretty much spot-on. Too funny.

An Experiment: Day One of Couch 2 5K
Yesterday marked one month since my shoulder surgery. I decided to celebrate by going running. That’s right, I ran. And no one was chasing me. I’m not 100% sure if I’m technically supposed to be running right now, as it’s pretty jarring on the shoulders (and on just about everything else in the body), but …

Insomnia
It’s 2:30 in the morning. I’m watching my third episode of Dawson’s Creek. Not because I particularly want to be watching Dawson’s Creek, but because watching the tortured exploits of pretty fictional people is preferable to wrestling with the real-life mental gymnastics going on in my own head. My little toe hurts, blistered from the …

Five Things You Didn’t Know About Me
When Jessica posted this link-up, my first thought was what a fun little project it’d be. Five things you didn’t know about me; cool! My second thought was, “Crap. Is there anything they don’t know about me?” I mean, you all know I’m a chronic insomniac. You know that nothing bothers me more than misplaced …

Rolling in the Deep
Tegan loves Adele. And when I say she loves Adele, I mean she really, really loves Adele. I find Adele very refreshing, because she can actually SING, rather than relying on smoke and mirrors and spandex and pyrotechnic woo-woo stuff like so many of the other popular performers today. But Tegan… she’s just enamored. Adele’s …

Musings from the sleep-deprived
I’ve been an insomniac on and off for my entire adult life, so not sleeping is a not a new thing for me, but not sleeping because of pain is an entirely different proposition. Before, I’d get up if it was really bad, but I’d otherwise snuggle up in my half-conscious stupor, and get lost …

What I Learned on my Summer Vacation
Or rather, on my spring camp-out. In no particular order: And finally, three days is a long enough break from real beds, real toilets, and hot showers… but not nearly long enough from housework, voice mails, and Facebook. I can’t wait for the next trip. (More pics are here)
