That’s right, I’m positive.  At least, I’ll be positive for this post.  Most of my posts have been doom and gloom lately.  Well, let me correct that:  most of my posts are doom and gloom usually.   But life isn’t all bad.  There are things that I’m enjoying as of late, and instead of rolling through [...]

For the past twenty four hours I’ve been batting cleanup.  I’ve been on a consistent track of completing the tasks that others were unable to complete.  I’ve been making conversation where others left gaps.  I’ve been making molehills out of mountains–or at least hills. That is, I’ve been trying. Yesterday I was greeted by an [...]

Dear Lane Bryant, Hey, Laney!  What’s happening? Listen, I really don’t care what’s happening, to be honest.  In fact, I hope you’re having a bad day.  That’s right.  A bad day. Laney, I’ve written you letters before.  It seems since this glowing discovery of your existence in the almost non-existent world of plus size fashion [...]

Often when I’m driving I’ll pull a maneuver that takes guts.  I’ll turn out into a busy road into the left turn lane.  I’ll skip ahead of a few cars.  I can be an asshole driver, though I’m not constantly one.  But one thing is for sure, after each of these instances, I give the [...]

I’ve been having a series of bad days/bad incidents of late.  Normally I’m perfectly cursed, whereas lately I’ve just been cursed.  The difference is being perfectly cursed provides life lessons and humor, being cursed just provides angst and cravings for various kinds of foods that I do not normally eat (such as veal parmigiana).  I’m [...]

Thank you so much Oh Allergies of Mine You really have the power To foul up a day that is so fine You grab my throat And do away with my nose My ears are so itchy And even my toes My eyes feel like the desert Long before the rain Even the standby Benadryl [...]

There’s a new poll out that suggests that popular music is becoming more prevalent in funerals than traditional hymns.  You could pretty much file this under “Things I Could Have Told You Last Week.”  But it’s interesting to see it so scientific–or at least not just my experience. At both The Mister’s Grandpa’s and Grandma’s [...]

Life’s mysteries can be traced back to one of two sources:  The Godfather or Seinfeld.  I didn’t make the rules.  In fact, I did not even want to follow them.  But there’s no use in fighting fate.  What has been ordained by God, let no woman put asunder.  The Bible stories could really be told [...]

I woke up this morning promising myself beyond expectations that I’d try to make today a good day.  I was going to start off with an uncharacteristically positive attitude and move on to starting work before checking blogs.  From there I’d complete two pressing work projects, go to therapy that got moved to today and [...]
