Random Thoughts: Monday is the New Tuesday Edition

August 29, 2011

I am rather sleepy this morning and can’t seem to bring it together enough to do a whole thoughtful post. So you’re just going to get some random stuff that is on my mind. How are there all of these abandoned and ripped up tires on the expressway?  I get that they came off of [...]

My New Zen Philosophy

June 22, 2011

Today I’m wearing a black shirt.  This is notable for only one reason.  It makes everything that lands on the shirt highly visible.  A speck of dust looks huge on a black background.  So it’s no surprise that I spotted a tiny green spec on my shirt as I was pulling out of the driveway.  [...]

Summer of Kim 2011

May 16, 2011

I have been trying to claim the summer as mine since I was born.  In fact, since my birthday is in September, I was probably in the womb claiming the first ever Summer of Kim (which would explain why I was born a week late).  Every year around this time I’d start scheming and plotting [...]

Today, March 8, 2011, is International Women’s Day.  It’s an extra special one because it is also the 100th International Women’s Day.  I encourage you to read up about IWD and spread the word.  It is only through full economic, social, educational and individual rights for women that the world can truly be free. Today [...]

Too Quiet on the (Mid)Western Front

February 21, 2011

Before I say anything else, I want to offer my undying gratitude for all of your comments, tweets, Facebook messages and so on.  Your support over these past few days has been nothing short of amazing.  While it didn’t make the hard decision any easier (nothing ever could), it made dealing with it a bit [...]

The rest of my IVF medications should be at The House before The Mister leaves for work according to FedEx’s tracking information.  With everything that has gone on, I don’t know who or what I can trust any more. Tomorrow is the Robyn concert.  I’m trying to get excited about it.  It’s not that I [...]

Random Thoughts: The I Can’t Hear Over the Racket Edition

December 6, 2010

Today we’re having a new furnace installed, so I’m at home.  I need to work on school stuff for my big paper that’s due this week, but I left the stuff in the car and it’s so damn cold out.  Not to mention the fact that I doubt I’d be able to read while all [...]

It’s Not All Doom

December 1, 2010

Things have been rather stoic around here lately.  Given the past month’s events, it’s not really unrealistic to expect the depressing posts to continue.  But I’ll interrupt with some random things that have happened to me lately, just to lighten the mood. —- The Scene:  The House, on the phone with Mom.  She’s talking about [...]

Random Thoughts

August 16, 2010

The Mister had to leave town rather unexpectedly for a business trip this week.  Sometimes I enjoy having the house to myself, other times I don’t.  I do know, though, that this directly contributed to my not having put any laundry away yesterday.  Why would I when I can just keep it on his side [...]
