If I’m Gloating, It’s Probably Not Nice
Mr. Foxypants just announced that he will be taking the entire month of October off from work… wait for it…. to go through the garage and all his earthy possessions and downsize! And I didn’t even have to be a nagging shrew to get him to this decision. Since we moved into Dinky Manor in [...]
Be Prepared To Be Nice
August 11, 2008 I’m bummed out to discover that my recycle-mania wasn’t as fully successful as I’d given myself credit for.

Perhaps this [...]

Driving
Today I drove my psychic friend to a meeting she had to attend. As a native New Yorker, she’s never learned how to drive, even though she’s lived in LA for 20 years. She calls me from time to time to ask me if I can drive her to various events, like the county fair, [...]
Not Working At Hollywood But At Least My House Is Clean
I had like the nastiest fun fur style yarn in “rainbow sherbert” and a bunch of partial skeins of pink and magenta “fashion” yarns that I’d gotten for free at a swap party taking up precious real estate in my crafty crap bureau (formerly the much larger crafty crap closet). I hated the yarn. It [...]
