Girlfriends
I love my girlfriends. We don’t get together often enough, but when we do it’s the ultimate therapy. Friday night with Caitlin, Tonya and their friend Meghan — who totally rocks — was an infusion of life. Getting to see Caitlin again yesterday at the game — amazing. Add to…

Tripping Raul’s back cover of a tawdry romance/mystery/ghost novel obit
Sassy, blond and enigmatic, Tripping Raul could hardly be labeled excited for her Labor Day weekend alone at the Von Bitchen Mansion in a remote area of downtown Denver. She was, in fact, ecstatic. Tawdry novels, chapter writing, hot baths, wine and bad movies were all cued up. Walks in…

Extremely random thoughts on a Monday
Please let it rain, God! The clouds are beautiful, but look mildly agitated as opposed to angry. Bah. I can’t talk worth shit. This is why I write. And it makes it worse when people are looking at me while I’m talking. Unless it’s one on one. Or if I’ve…

Kindergarten again
It’s DS’s first day of classes at CU Denver and I’m all excited, but then he forwards an email to me he received from the school saying that they didn’t have my information for the Parent Plus loan and I’ve never heard of this loan so then I’m panicked, thinking that there…

S-A-TUR-DAY Night!
It’s Saturday night and I’m totally rocking it! Soloing it on the front porch, shutting out the yappy-ass dog down the street, taking my first sip of cheap rum on ice in belated honor of National Rum Day and taking a break from the bad novel that I swore I wouldn’t read until I’d done…

Something tells me . . .
Wonderful, beautiful, life enhancing scenarios are playing out around me. My friends are doing well, moving up and on and realizing their dreams in their careers, in their retirement and in their lives. It’s just not possible to feel down when I hear about the exciting new horizons they’re embarking on…

Trigger
Hard to tell what the trigger will be and how the assault will begin. The anxiety — the difficulty breathing, mind racing, eyes darting, threat at every turn — that began last night with no sleep and carried through today started casually in a meeting, where I laughed and faux…

Archer
Two full, nine-hour days of work and not one person noticed my fabulous battle wound. It’s fading now, so it’s less likely to be noticed and certainly won’t be as much fun. Bother. What good is having a 3X2-inch green, yellow, black, red and purple bruise if there’s no one…

I was . . .
Many times a day I feel like yelling, “I was attractive once!” But since Kevin pointed out to me that self-deprecation doesn’t suit me and that I should know full well that I am still attractive, I’ve been far more careful of blurting out such things. In fact, when someone…
At Least They're Committed
