Ok, Where Was I?
I'm a scribbling woman lost in the cornfields of the Midwest. My goal is to enjoy this one big, crazy trip. These are the postcards from my life, a life full of corncobs and deer poop.

Temístocles, Part something or other
2008-04-29 07:55:03
The last part is here, the first here. The very next time is when I get sick with the huge flu of winter 1999/2000 that killed a bunch of people and, well, made me really sick. Oh, and the memory... ...

I Heart Nick Swardson
2008-04-28 08:01:09
Do you know this guy? I kind of have a crush on him, even though I'm not entirely sure he's not a little bit drunken frat-boyish, emphasis on the boy. Generally I go for the older guys, but given my... ...

Lit. 101: Pent Up and Nowhere to Go
2008-04-25 08:45:40
Since I am a literature person—as in, I have some degrees in it and once upon a time I taught some stuff about it—I thought I should mention a book or two on this thing. Actually, the brilliant idea occurred... ...

Let's Make a Deal Pockets
2008-04-24 08:28:19
Sexy Bossy mentioned me as a “her†on her post about her sassy Chicago host, and so I’ve almost gotten my daily hit limit before the day actually starts. So Bossy people looking for important, behind the scenes info about... ...

Bossy Was Here
2008-04-23 08:24:04
Ok, so I know you’ve been dying to know whether or not I got out of my house and socialized. I did go to the Bossy/Chicago area bloggers gathering, and it was just like prom, only without the superfly dress.... ...

Does Catfood Have Protein?
2008-04-18 07:36:23
Yesterday, finally, we had a beautiful day. It was warm AND not windy, which meant that it was truly warm. Like short sleeves and windows open warm. So we spent the entire day outside—you know, after mama got her blog... ...

Meet the Fam: Dog#1
2008-04-17 07:38:17
I’ve never properly introduced any of my dogs, and as a good hillbilly, I’ve not only got dogs, but dog photos and stories. This one is “my” dog. The one I bought on my own when I was childless. When... ...

Random Photos and Thoughts
2008-04-15 07:48:27
This spot is .6 miles from my driveway. I want to live there, but it does not belong to me. I might be able to, though, b/c I used to babysit for its owners when I was 13, but it... ...

Cheekbones and Braces
2008-04-11 08:45:26
One of the projects that’s ongoing in my life is sorting through old family photos and genealogical stuff from my grandfather’s house. My mother’s father had to move into an assisted living place last year, and since then, his kids... ...

Vaginas and Stuff
2008-04-09 07:12:00
It's not really about vaginas! Just a little. Woo-hoo! I stole a meme. It’s not that I’ve run out of material, god forbid, but I have a tiny cold thing going on. One that makes me feel lazy, even though... ...

I Don't Even Like Ice Cream That Much
2008-04-07 08:11:34
Candy's Corner introduced me to yet another online quiz that I couldn't pass up. This one appealed to my inner English teacher. No wait, I don't have one, which is why I hated teaching. Actually, I just find all these... ...

I'm Famous, Just Like Dooce!
2008-04-03 08:09:13
There is a very cool blog out there that requested a guest post from me! I’m totally easy, as I think we’ve seen with Temístocles, so I definitely did it and am now passing it off as today’s post. Actually,... ...

Spring Cleaning
2008-04-02 07:14:34
I have a friend who is a retired English professor and who never had children. After having my own children, I became more interested in why she never did. Did she simply not want them? Did the occasion never arise?... ...

Bringing Home the Aspic
2008-04-01 08:07:45
Ok, so I stuck those google ads in the sidebar b/c everyone else did. And I'm nothing if not a follower. I never in a million years expected any money to come my way, but now that I've seen what... ...

Important Stuff I Do On the Weekend
2008-03-31 07:25:50
Is anyone watching this show? I saw the commercials for it a while back, but last night was the first time I saw it. I sat down to watch something I taped (Yeah, I don't have that fancy schmancy tivo... ...

Not Really a Post
2008-03-28 18:21:14
Today I'm playing the roles of responsible homeschooling mother AND responsible graduate student actually writing a dissertation chapter that was due in December. So I didn't write a post for today. But then I left a comment at Hallie's and... ...

Forgive Me Father
2008-03-27 06:50:35
Mommypie graciously tagged me with a confessions meme. I’ve confessed so damn much already, that this one was kind of hard. I know I seem all edgy and exciting on this blog, but in real life I do virtually nothing... ...

Out of Focus Wednesday
2008-03-26 06:10:09
What better way to spend a Wednesday than with a series of blurry photographs that capture everything crazy about spending what seems like 14 straight months in the house. It's starting to get a bit warmer, but there's a huge... ...

Temístocles, Part 4
2008-03-25 06:56:45
I could not post or go blog visiting yesterday b/c my least favorite internet company who will remain nameless (ends with ughesnet, starts with h) was punishing me again for downloading too much. Bastards. Apparently you can download all you... ...

My Riveting Life
2008-03-21 07:03:05
For some reason this blog brings out my inner catholic school girl and makes me confess things. Normally I would keep this dream to myself. It should be embarrassing. But my attitude towards dreams is that you can’t help it.... ...

More Fog Lovin'
2008-03-20 07:41:08
Quite some time ago, I revealed that I'm a fog lover. It's part of the incessant confession that I feel obligated to conduct here. And I am. I stand my that. You see, I don't have to go anywhere on... ...

Temístocles, Part 3
2008-03-19 06:14:00
See, there's no waiting today. I managed to get this cranked out last night with time still to watch MTV's True Life on OCD. Fascinating stuff, really. How the brain works in so many different ways in different people. So... ...

Almost Party Like It's 1999
2008-03-18 06:25:24
Ok, so last we left our intrepid but issue-riddled heroine, she was driving her blue ’93 Honda Hatchback at record breaking speeds to see her super-mega crush whom she wanted to jump on top of, TemÃstocles, even though she was... ...

I've Got a Plan
2008-03-17 06:51:11
I’m going to write a fake memoir—a femoir. Think Margaret Seltzer, Misha Defonseca, and James Frey. What have I been doing toiling away (sort of) on this whole dissertation for a PhD thing? For one thing, I get several emails... ...

All Good Things Must Come to an End
2008-03-14 06:05:00
As I dried my youngest off after his bath tonight, I kissed his wet head and told him I loved him. Then I said that I also loved his brother, who was still beside us in the tub. I looked... ...

Random My A**
2008-03-13 06:34:00
Yep, this post is about butts. It took me a while, and this was a slow realization, but I’m making future farters. I know that everyone farts (except for girls, of course; I sure don’t), but I mean I’m making... ...
