May 25th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, celiacs, games we play, genius, i complain because I care, i like cupcakes more than gluten, i love fragment sentences, i should be a P.S.A., it seemed like a good idea at the time..., just do what i say, the title says it all I ate a bagel yesterday and now my stomach feels like there’s glass in it and invisible people are using it as a trampoline.
Gluten is such an asshole.
In other far cooler news- check out the project Peter and I are working on. In a word? Mind blowing.
Okay, ‘mind blowing’ is two words. Don’t blame me for my inability to count correctly. Blame this bastard bagel that is ruining my insides. I suspect my stomach feels how Amy Winehouse’s liver must feel. Angry and wanting to collapse on itself like a dying star.
The Secret Project will be …READ MORE
March 5th, 2008 in Bill Schneider wears a lot of funny hats, celiacs, confession of the day, disappointment, don't hate me for this, heaven, i complain because I care, i hate it when i blog about blogging, i know too much about magnets, i love fragment sentences, I should be sleeping, I've fallen into a funk and I can't get up, is it weird this makes me cry?, lists, politics, pretty hair makes me happier, school, secrets, seriously, Slyvia Path has nothing on me, swimming in a sea of self pity, the george, the J.O.B., today i am not funny, when i say it anyway, when it doesn't go my way, who needs a self help book?, work I never wanted to be that blogger who has a google reader number that’s closer to a thousand than zero, but here I am.
I never wanted to be the daughter who would avoid her fathers calls, but here I am.
I never wanted to be a teacher who uses stickers as bribes when she’s at the end of her rope and thinking of tying a noose, but here I am.
I never wanted to be the person who started off every sentence ” I’m so exhausted I can’t…”, but here I am.
I never wanted to be person who …READ MORE
Almost a year ago I wrote out my New Years resolutions.
And because I can cut and paste like a rockstar- here they are. Let’s review these little chestnuts and see where I failed and (more importantly to my ego) succeeded.
My 2007 To-Do List
1. I shall continue rocking my new bangs, my favourite jeans (complete with hole) and my side ponytail with complete abandon. (Verdict: Mission Accomplished. My bangs have grown out a bit and I’m still loving my jeans with a hole. Although it’s winter here now, so the jeans are in retirement. Any exposed skin is …READ MORE
November 8th, 2007 in celiacs, confession of the day, i hurt, lists, men, music, secrets, teaching, the devils worker bees, the world according to me “I love you”
That phrase has probably caused more happiness (and sometimes panic) than any other three word phrase out there. I know people who have tossed and turned over when to say it (Is it too soon? Does he feel the same? What if I say it and he doesn’t say it back? And if he does say it back, is he saying it because he wants to or because DEAR GOD- he thinks he HAS to?). I know people who have dumped those who have said it too soon, gotten angry when it never got said, who said …READ MORE
September 13th, 2007 in a possible regret, adventure, books, celiacs, family, harry potter, i may write about the west wing forever, life lesson, lists, men, MY BIRTHDAY, people i like, teaching, wasting time, work, youth You know how you can say goodbye to someone, watch them walk away but not miss them until you turn to their spot beside you (because that is their spot… beside you) to tell them something only to find that they are not there? And suddenly you miss them more than you ever thought you would? Or could? That’s how I feel about the end of summer. I have to admit, by August I’m usually wary of barbeques, the constant hum of lawn mowers and the automatic acceptance of yet another sunburn, but then a cloudy day with a cool breeze comes and …READ MORE
So I got tagged by Anju to write a post listing 10 random things about me. Since I’m a heart rule breaker, I’ve decided to do 7, and because I’m needing some guidelines to type anything interesting lately creative, I’m basing them each around one of the Seven Deadly Sins- lust, gluttony, greed, pride, wrath, envy, and sloth (And yes, I had to look them up, I always forget about sloth, maybe I’m too lazy to remember it?).
1. Lust- I think the last thing I truly lusted after was this. If you are too lazy to open the link, it’s a shirt- …READ MORE
Number of people I taught how to feed a horse without it biting fingers off- 2
Number of times I looked at Trout during the Bon Jovi concert and asked “Is Richie Sambora really wearing a snakeskin cuff?”-3
Number of times I tried to pretend I could still love a man who wore a large snakeskin cuff only to realize that although I MAY be able to do that (especially when the man in question plays the guitar like he’s making love to it), I could not love a man who wore a snakeskin cuff while also donning a shirt unbuttoned …READ MORE
July 13th, 2007 in adventure, blogs, books, celiacs, family, friends, happiness, harry potter, holidays, Jon Stewart, life lesson, men, MY BIRTHDAY, politics, question of the day, relationships, secrets, shoes, teaching, the devils worker bees, the world according to me, thinking, travel, work, youth Dudes! I have returned. I plan on filling you all in on my Crave cupcake eating, margarita slurping, Harry Potter screaming, Chuckwagon watching, jazz cigarette finding, Bon Jovi concert watching, cute shoe shopping, knee-deep water wading adventure. But first, a little housekeeping. I put forth the task of asking me a few questions while I was gone, and you all did. Ask. A. LOT. It’s taken some time, but I’ve got them all answered. Now, I plan on tackling my google reader. So grab a snack, and sit back to learn all the things you never thought you’d ever find …READ MORE
So, I could be writing about my time in the hospital this weekend where I read a complete years worth of Family Circle magazines from the early 90′s (Hey, there’s this new show called “Friends” on, it’s supposed to be funny), but there’s too much other stuff for me to say right now. I will say that I’m fine, tired of needles and people who tell you things aren’t going to hurt when they will (scar tissue is my #1 enemy, having just recently bumped Kirsten Dunst to #2), but for now, let me share with you some good stuff: …READ MORE
June 14th, 2007 in adventure, books, celiacs, family, harry potter, Jon Stewart, lists, love or something like it, shoes, the world according to me Part II of the genius stolen from Brookem I Love… myself (don’t hate me because it was the first thing that came to my mind,- I was raised this way), my family (because if I said ‘shoes’ next that would look reeeally bad), seeing potential, the smell of suntan lotion, books that make me cry (HP fits in here!), people who make me think, *a man with a plan, this poem, Friday nights when I’m sleeping by 10pm, hot showers on cold mornings, the face a child makes when they finally understand refraction, my friends, this painting, rootbeer in glass …READ MORE
