Today my friends and followers, you will hear no silliness from me. Today I am saddened by a death. The death of a young man. A young man who had much to live for. A new bride and a new family. After 71 days of marriage, at the age of 34, he died suddenly from a … Continue reading
Dear Sir, Please do not be disheartened by my return of this unique and wonderful timepiece. It would be unseemly for a lady to accept such a gift from a stranger. It is the most interesting example of clockwork I have ever seen. Do not for one moment think that you are timid. It was … Continue reading
To my love, I watch you walk past my clock shop every morning on your way to the milliner’s. I don’t dare follow you, for fear of being shunned by you. My love for you is great, but not greater than my fear of your rejection, so here I sit. With my gears and springs … Continue reading
Confession time– I am an addict. A food addict. That’s no bullshit. I have been a closet, compulsive, emotional eater for my entire life. I have struggled with food and my weight as long as I can remember. I have probably gained and lost over 300 pounds in my lifetime. I have tipped the scales at … Continue reading
As I lay in my bed last night, I thought to myself- “Golly gee, I sure hope we get to that Pet Shop Boys concert really early so we can get a good spot, since the tickets were just general admission.” -WTF? Where did that come from? I kid you not. That actually happened. As soon … Continue reading
I am from a simpler time. Back in the day when phones had cords, were attached to the wall and if you were super cool, you had a “teen line.” Those were the days when music was played on large, flat, black discs called “record albums”, and if you didn’t catch the latest episode … Continue reading
“Okay, can we have a little more blood, or dirt on her hand, so she looks more sinister?” “Are we done yet? I have some very important moping to do.” “Oh for the love of Wayne Newton, you’re getting paid $200 to stand there and play the victim, you little emo prick.” “But I’m bored, … Continue reading
I always ask my dear husband if I can post something about him, and to this he said yes. His son is visiting us from Pennsylvania, and the two of them were going to go bowling this afternoon, while I stayed behind to make them a manly man sized meal fit for a man, and … Continue reading
Isn’t that pretty??? I was so honored to get this nod from thoughts of a lunatic. It took a few days to get it here, since I’ve been busy with the makeover and the epiphany and a houseguest and a bunch of other lame excuses. I want to say thanks before I start, because … Continue reading
Now just tell me that isn’t a great book title!? I’ve got goosebumps on my goosebumps. I think I’m gonna do it. I have been prevented from writing a book forever because I thought it had to be great, epic, outstanding. Fiction to make you weep and change your life forever. Instructions for a better … Continue reading

I’ve decided that I like doing the blog thing. Bloggity bloggity blog. I could do it all the livelong day. But, in writing, cutting and pasting, pointing and clicking and ooohing and aahing over other blogs the last almost month, it’s come to my attention that while it’s chock full of spectacular content and junk, … Continue reading
Dear Julia, I’m sure this birthday greeting means nothing to you, because- A. you have no idea who I am and 2. you are dead. But that isn’t going to stop me from telling you from my the bottom of my heart how much you mean to me. Honestly, I hadn’t thought much about you … Continue reading
