Poop

The window was open, and I was sitting on the couch with my laptop doing some work. One wiener dog was perched on top of the sofa assiduously surveying the neighborhood. The other wiener dog was curled up by my left arm, napping. Then, SOMETHING HAPPENED. Either someone tried to break into the house, or [...]

P-Power

Recently, I bought two pairs of tights from Target, both of which ripped at the crotch the first time I wore them. I am alarmed. Either Target needs better quality control, or something down there is trying to bust out when I am not paying attention. Is it the Incredible Hooch*? Dr. Jekyll and Mr. [...]

Now Now Now

Here is how my day started: intense pain on one side of my head from sleeping with my ear bent into my face, and general ick from a dream that a shot glass came out of my nose (it was encased in lovely crystal, though). Still, the day was productive. I taught a class, picked up [...]

Off the top of my head.

Last week I was having ideas about growing my hair back out over the fall and winter. Then I vacuumed the floors, and I’m pretty sure that we’re over our hair quota in this house. How can two short haired people and four tiny short haired animals generate multiple, massive hair tumbleweeds in, like, three [...]

I cracked.

Here is how I know there is still work to be done: Yesterday I became thoroughly enraged by a woman’s ass. I encountered her and her ass several times during my trip to Whole Foods. She was wearing a dress that I don’t think was meant to be a dress (I believe the intended purpose was [...]

Ickram

It is almost embarrassing that today was my first Bikram experience. As a yoga teacher who teaches hot yoga, it is something in which I should be well versed. Sure, I knew the Bikram sequence and the basics about classes, but knowing and experiencing are not the same. So, today, needing something a little different, [...]

Get me off this crazy thing.

Regarding the wacky side effects of drugs that appear in approximately .014% of users: It turns out that I am the .014% of users. Radiating back pain and headache over the right eye? Got it. Nausea, fatigue, and sleep disturbances? Right on schedule. Dry mouth, indigestion, and metallic taste in one’s mouth? I’ll take one [...]

Those Were the Days My Friend

For quite a few years now, after January 1st I have considered myself the age I am going to turn in that year. So, if asked my age between January 1 and April 19, I have to think really hard about the answer. Actually, I always have to think hard about how old I am, [...]

Status Woe

Facebook status is an occasionally interesting, mostly banal, sometimes humorous window into the lives of people I know but do not see often enough to know much about their day to day lives. Mostly, it’s fun. I know that one friend is rapidly losing weight, I get little updates about my fellow teacher training graduates [...]

Another of Many Google-Related Reasons I Am Probably On A Watchlist Somewhere

I am going to be 34 next month. Many years ago, I remember joking that I couldn’t wait to turn 36 because then I could date men half my age legally. Of course I said that when 36 was a long, long way off instead of just 25 months. Also, it occurred to me recently [...]
