For lunch today I walked uptown to get a chicken salad sandwich and some chips from Toomer’s Drugs. If I’m not careful this could turn into a habit — if I worked in a closer building like Hargis or Biggin, I would be in trouble, for their chicken salad sandwiches are extraordinary. I suppose two […]

tell-tale cereal
It is a rare occasion when Steven and I get frisky in the morning, so you can imagine my surprise when he blurted out, “You smell like Kix!” I giggled through the rest of the endeavour.

My family has always had a habit of re-naming places around town to something more amusing or true. For example, if you want a computer, you go to Com-pewsa (CompUSA), to visit an older part of Birmingham you’d head to Eye-ron-delay (Irondale), you can always get some coffee at Barns and Farms (Barnes and Noble), […]
potter potter potter potter
Just a quick note to let you all know I am officially falling off the face of the earth starting this evening. I will not climb back on until I have finished and mused upon Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I see myself rematerializing sometime around Sunday evening. I have waited two years for […]
confessions of a self-proclaimed book nerd
Recently I have found one of the best things about working at a large university is having access to their bountiful library. Indeed, I already had access to the library via my membership of the alumni association, but as an employee not only is the library just across the street from my office, I can […]

bless you
Poor Renton has come down with a cold. He’s waddled around the apartment all day sniffing and snorting, spraying sneezes everywhere. He won’t share much, but he will share his germs. This evening Steven and I were settling down in bed to read when we hear Sniffing Renton coming down the hall to be with […]

Crackers make excellent bookmarks. When you come back to your book, there’s a snack!
Hell No! Hell No! DSL Has Got To Go!
I don’t have cable. I used to about a year ago, but I decided that fifty bucks a month on top of my phone/DSL bill was a shitload of money, and something had to go. Naturally, internet was my top priority, then cable, then the landline phone. Unfortunately, the DSL needs a landline to work, […]
let them eat dinosaur cake!
Last weekend was very amusing; we had a lot of parties. First was my sister’s wedding tea in Columbiana. It went very well, plus they had those tasty little cucumber open-face sandwiches like at my tea, so I was happy. I am partial to cucumbers. We had my birthday dinner on the same night at […]
