Awhile back, probably as my parents were moving from one locale to another, they delivered several boxes of my childhood crap artifacts. Old pictures, letters, knick knacks etc., neatly packaged into storage bins that they no longer wanted to keep at their home. Since then, the only purpose these (until recently) unopened boxes served was to take up space in my closet. What’s a girl to do? Continue reading

Greetings from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! (or perhaps I should say, ¡Hola!). Five days after my panicked, very expensive rescheduled arrival, I can admit that I may just be … wait for it … relaxed. What a very strange feeling!
It rules.
Sure, there is work to be done. Sure, I didn’t bring anything appropriate to wear other than bikinis thanks to the holycrapIamgoingtomissmyflight packing strategy. Sure, I have three mascaras with me (I own three mascaras?), none of which are waterproof. But a few amazing nights’ sleep, a few hours spent soaking in the sun, a few hundred drinks later, I am all right with it all. I have exhaled. Continue reading

So, I know I usually use this forum of shameless self-promotion to share my pain, angst, emotional drama and other ups and downs of my crazy life-after-normal journey. But guess what??

It’s about fucking time! Continue reading

OK, I’m a chump. I’ve been so scatterbrained lately (and thought next week was the last week of March, not this week) that I left my frequent and obnoxious demands for money fundraising efforts to the last minute. Yes, it’s once again time for the annual National Walk for Epilepsy here in Washington, D.C. Boo, I only have three days now to non-stop harass my friends and family for money! BUT, I plan to make the most of it!
