It is a waste alright. I, too, have been begged to keep writing.
There is an analogy that Steven Covey likes to use. No, I don’t typically quote Steven Covey, but this is particularly apropos. You have a vase, three big rocks, and a bunch of pebbles. If you put all the pebbles in, and then [...]

How wasteful

I promise to write more. I hope my two other women will too. Let’s just get this shit out, even if no one reads it.
Lost Time
Posted in Growing up, Life, Writing, tagged career, Job, Life, Writing on December 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This past month has been lost time. Time spent reading the Twilight series, hanging on Alan’s couch, restless sleep, drinking beer and most of all revaluating the “big picture”. Who am I and what am I doing here kind of shit.
The 9-5 wasn’t working for me anyway. I’d scratch my head at the obvious questions [...]
Sorrow
Posted in Depression, Life, tagged Depression, Life, pensive, sorrow on October 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Sorrow is a tricky thing. Sometimes it’s there with you in the morning, like messy hair and stale breath- it’s just there. Other times it suddenly comes upon you like a sneeze or a muscle cramp. It’s a reminder that you are human, susceptible to life’s complexities and pain.
There are some periods [...]
The Rescuers

When I was small, I had an LP of the old Disney movie, The Rescuers. Now, this wasn’t just any LP. This was the ENTIRE MOVIE, start to finish. Of course there was the music, but every line and every sound-effect was captured as well. I can’t be sure, but I doubt I’d had more [...]
It’s Your Day

That’s what they always say, right? About birthdays?
I was an only child ’til I was 8, and Mom made or got awesome cakes. A giant chocolate chip cookie with Mickey as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in icing. A doll cake, where the cake was a giant hoop-skirt. With an October birthday, I got a witch cake [...]
The Funny Thing About Sad and the Mona Lisa
Posted in Art, Depression, Life, tagged Depression, mona lisa, paris, sad, sorrow on October 2, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I really haven’t noticed the sunny, breezy weather today. Fall is supposed to be my favorite season, and yet I find myself longing for winter. There’s a snow globe on my desk reminding me that business trips end, usually with a hug and a silly souvenir. La Joconde (Mona Lisa) looks at me with that [...]
Mine!

I am a woman. That does not make me a traditional feminist, but while I say that, I’m also not an old-time fundamentalist either. On my hardest days at work, I think we’ve got a raw deal – I’d rather be home playing (and napping) with my tiny girl than slogging through the blech all [...]
Childhood Revisted: Puppy
Posted in Coming of Age, Depression, Life, tagged childhood, coping, divorce, toys on September 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
For my 5th birthday, my grandparents gave me a stuffed Gund puppy dog that I promptly named “Puppy”. An unoriginal yet practical name, Puppy was a fluffy, adorable, small stuffed dog with soft long hair and an expressionless face. He had two large, dark eyes and a hard, black plastic nose that had the texture [...]
A Counting

“When you think things are bad, when you feel sour and blue, when you start to get mad… You should do what I do! Just tell yourself, Duckie, you’re really quite lucky! Some people are much more…Oh, ever so much more…Oh, muchly much-much more unlucky than you!”
–Dr. Seuss, Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky [...]
