New High Altitude Recipe Blog

I will be starting a high altitude recipe blog today.  If you have contributions, please feel free to e-mail me and once I test them out, I will post if successful!  Here at over 9000 feet it is sometimes hard to get breads and cakes to rise properly and I am tired of searching out recipes [...]

Aftermath

Well, Christmas was fun.  Chaotic and fun.  It went as quickly as it came.  Kegan kept saying that it didn’t feel like Christmas, and I can kind of understand why.  He is a teenager now, and it’s just not the same as it used to be.  I think he is going through that transition from [...]

Octopus Stew

I think it’s odd that I sing Christmas carols all year long, but not right around Christmastime.  Why is that?  I listen to Christmas music all month, but I don’t intentionally sing it during the month as I walk around work.  Hmmmm.  Strange, very strange.  Oh, Doctor Who Season Finale is on tonight…2 hours!!!!  I’m [...]

Bah Hum Booger

December is great.  I love holidays, I love Christmas.  Everyone is usually in a great mood, or in a rotten mood, so it’s really easy to see where you stand with people at this time.  I’m not a bah hum bug girl.  I never have been, never will be.  It’s just not in me.  I [...]

DeCembeR crAP

So, it is finally december.  The birds are singing, the sun is shining, time to pull out the hammock.  Wait, I’m thinking of June.  What the hell.  My car is muddy and the snow on the floormat never melts because it is so bloody cold!  The days feel dismal and bleak and I can’t shake [...]

MoonBeams

Thanksgiving is over, and Christmas is of course, right around the corner.  I missed Thanksgiving this year.  I mean, we hung out with family, but it was all wrong.  Not the family part, because I love them, but there was no "Thanksgiving" in our Thanksgiving.  And, so, I am giving my little, beautiful family a [...]

It’s practically the middle of November, and I am craving Spring.  I want to see flowers.  I want to plant a little raised garden (that’s the only kind where I live).  I want to lay on my hammock on a beautiful Spring day without worrying about money, or laundry, or making dinner.  I want clean [...]

Hollow Weenies

I have been absent from blogworld — for a good reason. 
Families are sometimes a pain in the ass.  I moved away from Illinois, mostly to escape my family and be myself without ridicule or judgement.  I love my family, but they make me crazy.  I have a little sister, an older sister, an older [...]

Thighs

I have determined that a family of four could easily feed off one of my thighs for a week.  What does that mean?  ….I need to lose some poundage.  Yep…I need to work out.  Lazy, lazy, lazy.  Am I becoming middle aged?  They (the ultra-smart people) say that the new 40 is 60.  So, just [...]

God Bless Steve Irwin!

My kids are watching too much Animal Planet on TV.  I woke up this morning to the sounds of them sneaking into my bedroom.  Before I knew it they had a top jaw rope on me and I was being tugged from my lair.  As anyone else would do, I responded by doing a series [...]

something is missing

For days now, I have had this strange feeling.  It’s nothing new.  It’s a sense of incompletion.  Like, there are so many things I need to do, and I don’t have enough time to do any of it.  A sense that I should be doing something important with my days.  A sense that I’m not [...]

Oh no! It’s Mister Hand!

I really miss old school Saturday Night Live.  Remember how cool it was?  John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, Gilda Radner…etc…."Jane you ignorant slut!"  I couldn’t wait until Saturday Night.  I never really got into the coneheads though.  Rosanna Rosanna Dana. ["memories...like the pages of my mind."  Sung to the tune of memories.]  I have a [...]

It’s Alive!

When I grow up, I want to be a mad scientist.

HA

I changed it again!  Why?  Because I’m unpredictable and wiley.  This was taken on my 33rd birthday.  I’m so freakin adorable I should be punched in the face.

Change!

Yes.  In case you haven’t noticed, I changed my picture.  Why?  Because I felt like it.  That’s right, I felt like it.  This was taken last summer so it’s pretty recent.  I look fairly normal here.  Those chipmunk cheeks kill me!

Don’t Panic!

I haven’t written in my blog in a bit.  Why?  I don’t know.  I think i just don’t have anything to add to society right now, so I haven’t written.  I think I am going through a sort of mid-life crisis.  I don’t know.  I’m thinking roller derby is not my bag.  I’m not surprised.  [...]

pangs, pangs and more pangs

I’m hungry.  I’m not sure what I am hungry for, but I know that hunger is driving me.  Am I hungry for change?  Am I hungry for freedom or expression or maybe sex?  Maybe I’m just hungry for a cheeseburger.  I’m not quite sure, but one day I will get to the bottom of it.  [...]

My life is an after school special

Remember those really awkward and dramatic made for t.v. movies that were called "after school specials"?  I feel like I am living in one.  Drama here, drama there, drama, drama everywhere.  I should be used to it, because my life has always been chaotic and strange.  In the last few months though, I have become [...]

O N I O N

The only paper I read every day (when I feel like it) is The Onion.  Pathetic I know, but I only get MAD in the mail once a month, so I have to read something.  The Onion has some really great articles like "Kitten thinks of nothing but murder all day" or "Celebrity Launches Own [...]

Name Game

I just wanted to thank everyone for contributing all the great name ideas!  Dizzy Killinspree is the name I’m going to use, with 42 as the number.  I’m turning it in on Monday and then it will get registered and all that crap. 
So, thank you Rick, Kegan, Virginia, Dave, Tony, Maleesha and Kate’s Girls [...]
