What I Need Is a Good Defense, Cause I’m Feeling Like a Criminal

I’ve been a bad, bad girl.  Or a bad, bad blogger anyway.  So bad that I missed my own blogoversary in February.  This blog itself is two years old.  And I did nothing to mark the occasion.  Sorry blog, sorry blog buddies.
Maybe it’s because there were another two years behind these past two years of [...]

Don’t Say What I Don’t Mean, No Way You’ll Silence Me

If you want to get me riled up, go after my blog. It is personal. I try to give it some depth, to refrain from being “surfacey.” And even though sometimes I regret something I wrote and wonder about whether or not to blog, the fact is, it’s a part of me. I’ve only ever [...]

Don’t Leave Me High, Don’t Leave Me Dry

This is my 200th post to this blog.  Even the hiatus didn’t stop me.  I’m not sure how many posts I had to my old blog any more, and it doesn’t exist, except in its finest, which is not its entirety.  I don’t think I’ll ever again erase years worth of blogging and thoughts.

Busy

I now interrupt the insanity of my work day/week to draw a breath and say: sorry I haven’t been such a great bloggy buddy lately.  I may have to mark you  as read, but it’s just to get a fresh start.  I’m still here.  I’ll be coming soon to a blog near you and leaving [...]

Time Keeps On Slippin’, Slippin’, Slippin’ Into the Future

Ok seriously…is it already August? When did that happen? No, really. The year is two-thirds over now. Although all in all, it’s been a pretty great year, so I’m quite looking forward to the final four months. And along those lines, ironically as my head whirls over the fact that [...]

The Wine Is There to Keep Yourself; You Got It Wrong

So, I wasn’t planning to post today.  I was gonna take a day off, let you all soak in my prose of late.  But then I saw this and well, it tied into one of the questions I had last week when Stacy asked what my take was on blogging vs. journalism and I thought it [...]
