Sunday In The South Photos

  We’re just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year. -Pink Floyd (obviously) If I’m on/in/near the water it’s been a pretty good day. I’m a Pisces after all. The fact that I remember my dad saying “look at our little fish go” while I swam past my mother and him during my … Continue reading →

Photos From My Home: Shadows

“I thought the most beautiful thing in the world must be shadow, the million moving shapes and cul-de-sacs of shadow. There was shadow in bureau drawers and closets and suitcases, and shadow under houses and trees and stones, and shadow at the back of people’s eyes and smiles, and shadow, miles and miles and miles … Continue reading →

It’s The Great Summer Pumpkin , Charlie Brown

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that The Easter Bunny would soon be there. Wait-wait that’s not it. I’m just so confused by the strong-armed seasonal push of retailers that I’m having a Small Wonder melt down. I’ve almost come to terms with the fact that the malls will be festooned … Continue reading →

The People Of Walgreens (The Horror)

So…recently, my local Walgreens shut down for a few weeks for some remodeling and apparently some re-branding. After the doors reopened D and I popped in-not because we gave two flips about the free chip clips and mini flashlights (I only swiped like a handful-I’m an American dammit and hoarding free crap is part of … Continue reading →

Then and Now: 2 Songs I Love (Beastie Boys Edition)

What’s the time? It’s time to get ill! This has been my go to response when asked for the time for about 20 years now. The kids don’t get it and the joke is old but I don’t care. I was only six when Licensed to Ill came out but my older sister/hero convinced her softball … Continue reading →

Take This Journey With Me

I needed to clear the cobwebs, so I brought along the world’s best worst dog. Our destination was an abandoned mental hospital with beautiful grounds. The city has been fighting over what to do with it for years. I hope they keep it as is but I fear another mall is coming. Umm…isn’t that part … Continue reading →

There’s no better place to start than in my own home. Lord knows D and I have accumulated enough crap to keep my click-happy finger … Continue reading →

Monday, Funny Monday w/ Ellen Degeneres

This is my all time favorite clip from The Ellen Degeneres Show. Watch until at least 2:39 and I promise it will give your work-week a joy injection. This woman’s accent reminds me so much of my East Texas grandmother. No S can be pronounced without an H. Sho, blesh, your heart and have a … Continue reading →

Sunday In The South Photos

          Thank you for not smoking. My little big city is growing up. The fact that the lantern isn’t perfectly centered makes me feel like I have o.c.d but the glow reminds me of a fireplace. I just want to snuggle up by it’s warmth.   An escalator can never break: … Continue reading →

Thank You Crackhead

Last week was  monumentally bad. The badness of the week  began to culminate on Thursday. In an effort to offset my slow eBay sales, I picked up a 12 hour catering shift. As a restaurant manager, I used to work back to back shifts like this all of the time. No biggie. My alarm sounded … Continue reading →
